pclsg/images/latest_news/ikan%20senyur.JPG Bulkcarriers (bulkers), are the great work horses of the shipping world, carrying raw dry cargoes in huge cavernous holds, such as coal, iron ore, grain, sulphur, scrap metal. Until recently, there had been a huge demand for these vessels.Solid bulk cargo means any material, other than liquid or gas , consisting of a combination of particles , granules or any larger piece of material, generally uniform in composition, which is loaded directly into the cargo spaces of a ship without any immediate form of containment. Example of such dry cargo are grain, sugar and ores in bulk. static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Environment/Pix/columnists/2009/1/9/1231508061683/Hijacked-oil-tanker-MV-Si-001.jpg Tankers are designed to carry liquid cargoes (not just oil) although the carriage of crude oil has brought the tanker unwelcome attention and largely unjustified criticism. Oil tankers come in two basic flavours, the crude carrier, which carries crude oil, and the clean products tanker, which carries the refined products, such as petrol, gasolene, aviation fuel, kerosene and paraffin. Tankers range in all sizes, from the small bunkering tanker (used for refuelling larger vessels) of 1000 DWT tons to the real giants: the VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) of between 2-300,000 DWT and the ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) of over 300,000 DWT. 7seasvessels/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DOLE-AMERICA-09-05-09-Elbe-2.jpg refrigerated cargo ship While a reefer will have an integral refrigeration unit, they rely on external power, from electrical power points at a land based site, a container ship or on quay. When being transported over the road on a trailer they can be powered from diesel powered generators (gen sets) which attach to the container whilst on road journeys. Refrigerated containers are capable of controlling temperature ranges between plus or minus 25 degrees Celsius. Some reefers are equipped with a water cooling system, which can be used if the reefer is stored below deck on a vessel without adequate ventilation to remove the heat generated. meyerwerft.de/media/02_schiffe/tiertransporter/Tiertransporter_2408_W708.jpg The carriage of live animals around the world is performed by specialist vessels, designed (or adapted) to transport large numbers of cattle, sheep and any kind of animals in secure but humane conditions. Voyages on livestock carriers generally last from three days to three to four weeks. Open livestock carriers - in which all, or most, of the animal pens are installed on open decks. In theory, this provides continuous natural ventilation of the pen areas and avoids reliance on mechanical ventilation systems. Closed livestock carriers - in which more or less all of the animals pens are located within the holds and internal decks of the ship. maritime-connector/images/lng-3-ships-17848.jpg The LNG carrier natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state and its cousin the LPG carrier (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) are products of the late twentieth century. LNG and LPG are the preferred fuel types of certain countries for their industrial power needs. news.panasonic.net/images/01-EMERALDACEFINISH.jpg The car carrier or more correctly the P.C.C. (Pure Car carrier) or P.C./T.C. (Pure car/truck carrier), could never be described as a beauty of the seas, yet in its rectangular design, is purpose built to carry large numbers of any of the vehicle, also it has 5th deck below or above, the purpose is to transport the vehicle from one place to another . maritime-connector/images/container-ship-16-wiki-19057.jpg Container ships are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. They are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo. containers range from large reusable steel boxes used for intermodal shipments to the ubiquitous corrugated boxes. In the context of international shipping trade, container or shipping container is virtually synonymous with (standard) intermodal freight container (a container designed to be moved from one mode of transport to another without unloading and reloading). stevesmaritime/dry.jpg Dry cargo ships are used to carry solid dry goods that have a higher tolerance to heat and cold, such as metal ores, coal, steel products, forest products, and grains. These vessels are equipped with on-deck cranes and other mechanism for loading and unloading of goods. As dry cargo shipment doesn’t require special types of precautions (as required for carrying liquid and gases), bulk carriers and container ships don’t have onboard temperature control equipment. stevesmaritime/roro.jpg Roll-on/Roll-off vessels: Ships specially designed to carry wheeled containers or trailers using interior ramps, comes in a number of shapes and sizes, but generally in two types; the passenger ro-ro and the Cargo ro-ro, Passenger ro-ros have become common sights wherever people want to travel over water with their vehicles. It is probably the only type of cargo vessel that most people have travelled on. Usually a rear door (but sometimes a bow door) allows for vehicles to be driven on and off, stored on the car deck below the passenger accommodation areas. stevesmaritime/dry.jpg Dry cargo ships are used to carry solid dry goods that have a higher tolerance to heat and cold, such as metal ores, coal, steel products, forest products, and grains.

Tugs move vessels that either should not move themselves, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, The tugboat has a number of functions ranging from towing vessels into berths, to firefighting, salvage and anchor handling/positioning. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats.
