cargo ship classification

Cargo ships are classified based on their size, type, and cargo capacity. The main categories include: 1. **Bulk Carriers**: Transport unpackaged goods like grains or coal. 2. **Container Ships**: Carry standardized cargo in containers for efficient loading and unloading. 3. **Tankers**: Move liquids like oil or chemicals. 4. **General Cargo Ships**: Carry a mix of goods, often in different forms of packaging. 5. **Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo)**: Transport vehicles that can be driven on and off the ship. Each type is designed for specific cargoes, ensuring safe and efficient shipping over water.
