They

 are bulk carriers without cranes or conveyors. These ships depend on

shore-based equipment at their ports of call for loading and discharging.

Some bulk carriers are built as self unloaders, either by the provision

of derrick grabs, or by trimming the cargo spaces to belt conveyers running

under the holds

These vessels

are designed to transport both liquid and dry

bulk cargoes.

These carriers are

equipped with a complete facility to pack the bulk

material into bags.

They have cranes, derricks or conveyors  that

allow them to load or

discharge cargo in

Holds on ore carriers are quite small, have broad wing tanks and deep double bottoms

Single-purpose bulk carriers are generally designed as timber carriers

The cargo is in the form of separated objects of more or less uniform size

This article underlines the general arrangement and main structural parts of bulk carriers.

These tanker vessels are used to transport various liquid chemicals.

They consist of various tanks which are coated with specialized coatings such as Phenolic epoxy or stainless steel or zinc paint. Type of coating of their tanks determines the suitable cargo (the chemical which can be carried).

These tankers, generally much smaller, are designed to move refined products from refineries to points near consuming markets.They are smaller in size as compared to the Crude oil tankers

They are specifically used to transport crude oil from the excavation site to the crude oil refining industrial plant These vessels are much larger in size than the other variants of oil tankers

These tanker ships are used to cargo LNG or Liquefied Natural Gas. These types of tankers require careful and delicate handling owing to the precariousness of the material they carry. LNG is carried at its boiling point, which is -162°C

These tankerscarry liquefied petroleum gas such as propane and butane. In addition to propane and butane, some tankers can transport ammonia, which is used as a raw material for chemical fibers and fertilizers, and propylene, which is used as a raw material for petrochemical products
