This document discusses the different types of modern cargo ships and tankers. It describes cargo ships as vessels used to transport goods between places in different sizes and capacities to carry containers, bulk cargo, or general cargo. Examples provided are container ships, bulk carriers, and general cargo ships. Tankers are defined as large ships that transport liquids like crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals, and LNG in separate tanks. Various tanker types are outlined. Passenger ships aid in water transportation of voyagers and vehicles and are categorized as ferries or cruise ships, which further divided based on size. Offshore vessels, special purpose vessels, and their uses are also briefly mentioned.

10. TAN K ERS
USED FOR?
Tankers are large ships that are
designed to transport large quantities
of liquids, including crude oil,
petroleum products, chemicals, and
liquefied natural gas.
MODERN SHIPPING
AND?
Tankers come in various sizes and shapes.
They are usually long and narrow with a large cargo hold in the
center of the ship. The cargo hold is divided into multiple tanks,
which can be pressurized or unpressurized.
Separate heating and cooling systems to maintain the cargo at
the appropriate temperature.

11. EXAMPLES Crude Oil Tankers:These tankers are designed to
transport crude oil from the oil fields to refineries.
They can be divided into two categories: Very Large
Crude Carriers (VLCCs)and Ultra Large Crude Carriers
(ULCCs).
Product Tankers:These tankers transport refined
petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet
fuel from refineries to storage facilities and
distribution centers.
Chemical Tankers:These tankers are designed to
transport various types of chemicals, including acids,
fertilizers, and industrial solvents.

12. EXAMPLES
LNG Carriers:These tankers transport liquefied
natural gas, which is becoming an increasingly
popular alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
MODERN SHIPPING
LPG Carriers:These tankers transport liquefied
petroleum gas, which includes propane and
butane.
Asphalt/Bitumen Carriers:These tankers are
designed to transport heavy and viscous liquid
products, such as asphalt and bitumen.
Combination Carriers:These tankers can
transport multiple types of liquids, such as crude
oil and refined products, in separate
compartments.

13. PASSENGER SHIPS
DEFINITION
Merchant vessels that are employed to
aid in the transiting of voyagers and
passengers through the medium of
water transportation are referred to as
passenger ships.
MODERN SHIPPING
AND?
Passenger ships that are utilised only for the purposes
of transiting voyagers
Vessels that in addition to transiting voyagers are also
utilised to transit vehicles from one destination to
another.
Passenger vessels that also carry cargo.
The passenger ships are broadly categorised in two
classes namely:Ferry and Cruise Ships.

14. PASSENGER SHIPS
MODERN SHIPPING
Cruise ships are further subdivided on the basis of size into:
Large cruise ships: Large cruise ships are the ships with larger voyager carrying
capacities.
Small Cruise ships: Small cruise are the ships with smaller voyager carrying
capacities.
Liners: These are the special sort of large cruises, equipped with best facilities.
These look more or less like floating cities.
Special Cruise ships: These are the ships which are designed for a special
destination. For example cruise ships for visiting Antarctica region.
