Ship Types

Container ships form the backbone of modern trade. These huge ships transport standard-sized containers between ports around the world, speeding up international trade. Cargo ships are capable of carrying a variety of dry cargoes, liquid cargoes and more. Tanker ships safely transport energy resources and chemicals, while Ro-Ro ships easily transport large vehicles and heavy cargo.

Other types of vessels, such as container carriers, passenger ships, submarine rescuers and warships, also deal with different aspects of maritime transport. Each one serves a specific purpose and finds its place in the vast and diverse world of the seas.
