I. Combined / mixed types
 Passenger – Car ferry
 General cargo ship
 Ro-Ro passenger ship
Ferry
I. Cargo ships (freighters)
Cargo ships/freighters can be divided into five groups,
according to the type of cargo they carry:
 General Cargo Vessels
 Tankers
 Dry-bulk Carriers
 Multipurpose Vessels
 Reefer Ships
 General Cargo Vessels carry packaged items like
chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor- and
military vehicles, footwear, garments, etc.
 Tankers carry petroleum products or other liquid
cargo.
Bulk carrier
 carries unpackaged bulk cargo (grain, coal, ore,
cement) in cargo holds
 cargo in loose form
 bulk cargo can be dense, corrosive and abrasive ->
cargo shifting ; spontaneous combustion
Bulk carrier
 Multi-purpose Vessels carry different classes of cargo –
e.g. liquid and general cargo – at the same time.
 A Reefer (or Refrigerated) ship is specifically designed
and used for shipping perishable commodities which
require temperature-controlled, mostly fruits, meat,
fish, vegetables, dairy products etc.
 Oil tanker (ULCC, VLCC)
 Chemical carrier
 LPG carrier
 LNG carrier
 FPSO (Floating production storage and offloading)
Oil tanker (side view)
Oil tanker 1
 oil tanker = petroleum tanker
 designed for the bulk transport of oil
 Basic types:
 Crude tanker (carries large quantities of unrefined oil
from its point of extraction to refineries)
 Product tanker (smaller / carries petrochemicals from
refineries to points near consuming markets)
Oil tanker 2
 VLCC – very large crude carrier (200,000 – 300,000
dwt)
 ULCC – ultra large crude carrier (> 300,000 dwt)
Chemical carrier
 = type of tanker designed to transport chemicals in
bulk
 has separate cargo tanks - coated
LPG carrier
LNG carrier
FPSO
FPSO
 = floating production, storage and offloading
 used by the offshore industry for processing
hydrocarbons and storage of oil
 hydrocarbons produced from nearyby platforms are
received, processed, stored, offloaded
