CARGO SHIP TYPE貨物船種類
CONTANER SHIP
A cargo ship carrying containers loaded with cargo. We have two kinds of cargo ships: full container ships, which are freighters that carry only containers, and semi-container ships that carry both containers and general cargo.
RORO SHIP
These containerships use a cargo handling method in which forklifts or trailers are boarded directly onto the ship to load and unload containers (horizontal cargo handling). In the same way as car carriers and ferries, there is a passage called a rampway on the ship that is lowered to the jetty when performing cargo handling work.
LOLO SHIP
This is a container ship that employs cranes or other equipment to lift containers onto RORO ships (vertical cargo handling method).
FERRY
One kind of cargo vessel used in marine transport, also known as a passenger ferry or car ferry. Trailers loaded with trucks and containers can be wheeled on board, making cargo handling easy.
PCC (Pure Car Carrier)
A PCC is a ship that exclusively carries cars. In the past, cars were hung by cranes and loaded on conventional ships to be transported overseas, but now Japanese cars are transported around the world using ships exclusively made for vehicles.
OIL CARRIER TANKER
A cargo ship with equipment for cargo handling and transport of liquid flammables such as crude oil or fuel. Pipes extending from the bottom of the tank connect and from the top of the tank on land are connected to pipes in the tanker when loading and unloading cargo.
BULK CARRIER
These ships are specially equipped to load grain, ore, and other cargo in powder form without packaging. They are sent to silos on land through a vacuum.
Conventional ships use cranes to lift cargo and load it onto the ship. While there are fewer ships nowadays they still sail all over the world.
The big advantage over specialized ships is that they can carry just about everything, from general sundries to heavyweight items, long items, plant cargo, and scraps.
