Merchant ships

Merchant ships are large vessels used to transport goods and commodities across oceans and waterways. They are essential for international trade, carrying products like oil, containers, raw materials, and food between countries. These ships vary in size and type, including cargo ships, tankers, and container ships, designed to efficiently move specific types of cargo. They operate under national or international regulations to ensure safety and environmental protection. Merchant ships are the backbone of global commerce, enabling goods to reach markets worldwide, supporting economies, and facilitating international exchange.
