Ships Types

The document describes 8 different types of ships: multipurpose ships, container ships, heavy cargo ships, refrigerated ships, tankers, chemical tankers, bulk carriers, and tugs. Multipurpose ships can carry various types of cargo, while container ships have increasingly been used for cargo transport since the 1960s. Heavy cargo ships are designed to carry extremely large objects, and refrigerated ships now mostly use refrigerated containers instead of trays. Tankers transport liquefied gases like LPG and LNG, chemical tankers have strict regulations, and bulk carriers carry loose cargo like grains. Tugs are strong ships that assist other vessels and fight fires and disasters.

on trays. Refrigerated containers have built in refrigerated system.
* Possible cargo (fruit-vegetables-meat-fish).

5- Tankers:-
* Gas tankers are ships that are used to carry liquefied gas.
* In general there are two kinds of liquefied gases
1- Liquefied petroleum gas LPG. 2- Liquefied natural gas LNG.

5 FIG
6- Chemical tankers:-
*There are very strict requirements and regulations for chemical tankers.
*Possible cargo (acids-bases alcohol-petrochemical products).

7- Bulk carriers:-
*Bulk carriers are ships especially designed to carry loose cargo in bulk.
* Possible cargo (grain and other agricultural products).

8- Tugs:-
* It has a great strength.
* It used for (assisting and towing vessels in and out port-fighting fires and
