• Types of Vessels

Ocean Cargo

• Ocean Cargo is the largest carrier of freight in
  the world. There are different vessels used in
  ocean cargo for transporting goods from one place
  to another. It is the least expensive mode of
  transportating goods over the seas or from one
  country to another.

Bulk carriers

• Bulk carriers are cargo ships used to
  transport bulk cargo items such as ore or food
  staples and similar cargo. A bulk carrier can be
  recognized by the large box-like hatches on its
  deck, designed to slide outboard for loading.
  Bulk cargo can be either dry or wet.

Container ships 

• Container ships are cargo ships that carry their
  entire load in truck-size containers, in a
  technique called containerization. They form a
  common means of commercial intermodal freight
  transport. Informally known as "box boats," they
  carry the majority of the world's dry cargo.

Tankers 

• Tankers are cargo ships for the transport of
  fluids, such as crude oil, petroleum products,
  liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas
  and chemicals, also vegetable oils, wine and
  other food. The tanker sector comprises one third
  of the world tonnage.

Reefer ships

• Reefer ships are cargo ships typically used to
  transport perishable commodities which require
  temperature-controlled fruits, meat, fish,
  vegetables, dairy products and other foodstuffs.

Ferries 

• Ferries are a form of transport, carrying
  passengers and sometimes their vehicles. Ferries
  are also used to transport freight and even
  railroad cars. Most ferries operate on regular,
  frequent, return services. A foot-passenger ferry
  with many stops, such as in Venice, is sometimes
  called a water bus or water taxi.
