Cargo ship
refrigerated
Designed with covers and bays of
cargo that includes special arrangements
for cargo transportation of
perishable. Sin import your
consistency. They have cabins.
Cargo ship of
vehicles
Designed with covers y a
specific superstructure for transportation
and the loading of new road vehicles.
They have a surface

Designed with a single charging bay
dry load.
Cargo ship to
bulk
Designed with a single charging bay,
that includes arrangements for tanks and
bays designed specifically for
the transportation of bulk cargo from various
homogeneous nature types.
Tanker ship or
tank
Designed with a single charging bay that
includes an arrangement for one or more tanks
independently designed specifically
for the transfer of goods in the form
liquid.
Water, dairy or specific nectars.
Cargo ship
rolling
Designed with specific covers for the
transfer and transportation of vehicles
railway and road vehicles, and for
cargo that can be loaded and
downloaded by wheeled vehicles.
Dragas
A dredger is a vessel used
to excavate material below the level of
water, and raise the extracted material to the
surface. These operations can be
carry out innavigable channels, inports,
docks or reservoirs.
Chemicals
They are similar to the previous family,
but they are dedicated to transportation of
chemical products (phenol, ammonia,
gasoline and other derivatives, etc.).
The size is rather small
(5,000 or 10,000 RPM) although they can
reach 50,000 TPM.
In its many tanks (up to 40 or
more) can load different types
of the product and are classified according to the
type of aggression or risk of his
load, in three classes (Type 1, 2, or 3). The
the trend is that they are built for
three o'clock.
They are ships of a high cost due to
the construction requirements such as the
double hull, steel tanks
stainless, or sophisticated systems of
painting.
Class 1:
Class 2: corrosion
Class 3: corrosion, explosion
Barges
It is a naval artifact, without its own propulsion,
flat background, used for the
river transport or maritime transport of
goods y passengers between coasts
close. Its flat bottom facilitates its grounding
on sandy beaches, not requiring
docks or piers for loading or
download. Its use is very common in the
island regions, for transportation of
people and materials, given the few
port facilities that exist in
some localities.
Refrigerated Ships
These ships began to sail to
part of the Second World War finished
world, when it was resolved
thermal insulation problem of
the warehouses and the installation of equipment
sodas.
Depending on the load
the temperature to be maintained ranges between
the 12ºC required for transportation
from the banana, to the fruit and fish
frozen between -15ºC and -30ºC.
Its size is between 100 and 600.
one thousand cubic feet.
Oil workers
Crude Oil Carriers
Obviously, your transport is the
crude oil from the platforms
offshore or from ports of countries
producers to the refineries.
They are the largest ships.
Until very recently, they reached
build oil tankers over
500,000 TPM.
Gas Carriers -
L.N.G. Carrier
These are gas transport ships.
Natural o liquefied gas. They are very
sophisticated internally and of a
high technology that translates into a
high construction cost.
There are gas truck drivers. The LNG
(liquefied Natural Gas) and the LPG.
the difference lies in that the former
they transport the gas in liquid state to
temperatures of up to -170 ºC and the
seconds to -50º C and at a pressure of
18 Kg/cm2.
Specials
In this classification we can include
Any ship that does not have one of its own.
These ships were built for a purpose.
specific.
Above these lines we can see a
very special vessel. It is about a
boat designed for transportation of
very bulky floating loads. The
the ship sinks when loading its
ballast tanks, leaving the
surface of the free cover with
water.
Bulk Carrier
It is a merchant ship.
specifically designed for
the transportation without packaging of
bulk cargo, such as cereals,
coal, mineral and cement in
their cargo warehouses. From the
first company
specialized in bulk was
built in 1852, the forces
economic factors have driven the
development of these ships,
causing it to grow in
size and sophistication.
Trawler
The trawlers can be
relatively small boats
small ones of 6-8 meters of
length, they can work in
pairs, that is, two boats
trading on the same network, but
they can also be big
factory ships, sometimes using
from two or more networks at the same time
Lash
They are vessels that
they transport inside them
smaller vessels

Pontoon
Their hulls or vessels

maritime operations are passed to
to be used as warehouses or

Line freighter
They are vessels that allow
