14) Coastal Tankers
Coastal tankers, also known as coasters, are shallow-hulled ships used for trade between locations on the same island or continent. Their shallow hulls mean that they can get through reefs where deeper-hulled seagoing ships usually cannot. Cars can load and unload cares in shallow ports.
15) Tank Barges
These tankers are designed to transport such liquid cargoes as heavy oil or chemicals along inland waterways. In or near the Port of Hamburg, they supply larger ships with fuel and lubricants. They also transport liquid cargoes further inland, or between Port of Hamburg terminals on the Elbe.
16) Combination Carriers
A general term applied to ships intended for carriage of both oil and dry cargoes in bulk. These cargoes are not carried simultaneously, except for oil retained in slop tanks. The design of a combination carrier is similar to a conventional bulk carrier but such a ship is equipped with pipelines, pumps and inert gas plant. See also Tri- Cargo Carrier.
17) Liquefied Petroleum Gas Carriers
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Carriers, which are designed to carry mainly butane, propane, butadiene, propylene, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and are able to carry anhydrous ammonia. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Carriers, which are designed to carry liquefied natural gas (which is mostly methane).
18) Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers
LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). As the LNG market grows rapidly, the fleet of LNG carriers continues to experience tremendous growth
19) Passengers Ro - Ro Ferries
These ferries are used to transport passengers
20) Coastal Ro-Ro Ferries
These Ferries are used to Ro-Ro coastal
21) Ro-Ro Cargo Ferries
Used for cargo transportation
22) Fast Ferries
high-speed water vessel also called a fast ferry
23) Hydrofoils and Hovercraft
A hovercraft, also known as an air-cushion vehicle or ACV, is an amphibious craft capable of travelling over land, water, mud, ice, and other surfaces.
24) Passenger Excursion Vessels
These are used to transport small passengers across rivers
25) Tenders and Crew Boats
Tenders, usually referred to as a tender, is a boat, or a larger ship used to service or support other boats or ships, generally by transporting people or supplies to and from shore or another ship. Similarly, crew boats use crew for transportation to ships
26) Passenger ships
passenger ships is a merchant ship whose primary function is to carry passengers on the sea. The category does not include cargo vessels which have accommodations for limited numbers of passengers, such as the ubiquitous twelve-passenger freighters once common on the seas in which the transport of passengers is secondary to the carriage of freight. The type does however include many classes of ships designed to transport substantial numbers of passengers as well as freight. Indeed, until recently virtually all ocean liners were able to transport mail, package freight and express, and other cargo in addition to passenger luggage, and were equipped with cargo holds and derricks, kingposts, or other cargo-handling gear for that purpose. Only in more recent ocean liners and in virtually all cruise ships has this cargo capacity been eliminated.
27) Shiphandling Tugs
A tug or more commonly a tugboat is a secondary boat which helps in mooring or berthing operation of a ship by either towing or pushing a vessel towards the port.
