Types of Cargo Vessels

Types of Cargo Ships

These are the different types of cargo ships we utilize. There are numerous other types of vessels we collaborate with.

General cargo ships transport break bulk cargo, whereas bulk cargo ships handle, as their name implies, bulk commodities.

We also categorize general cargo and bulk carrier ships based on whether they are 'geared' or 'non-geared'. Geared ships have their own cranes and can load and unload independently of dock cranes. Non-geared ships must be loaded and unloaded by facilities at their loading and discharge ports.

Bulk cargo ships can be classified into two primary categories based on the types of bulk cargo they transport. These categories are 'bulk carriers' and 'tankers'.

Bulk carriers are designed for commodities such as coal, grain, ore, and scrap metal.
