Ship Parts
Bow is the frontmost part of the hull
Stern is the rear-most part of the hull
Portside is the left side of the ship when facing
the Bow
Starboard is the right side of the ship when
facing the Bow
Waterline is an imaginary line circumscribing
the hull that matches the surface of the water
when the hull is not moving.
Midships is the midpoint of the LWL (see
below). It is half-way from the forwardmost
point on the waterline to the rear-most point on
the waterline.
Ship Parts
Ship Parts
Beam or breadth (B) is the width of
the hull. (ex: BWL is the maximum
beam at the waterline)
Depth (D) is the vertical distance
from the bottom of the hull to the
uppermost edge at the side.
Draft (d) or (T) is the vertical
distance from the bottom of the hull
to the waterline.
Freeboard (FB) is the difference
between Depth and draft

The ship is controlled from the bridge
by the captain or navigating officers.
Near the bridge there is funnel.

Tonnage
Tonnage is a measure of the size or cargo
capacity of a ship
Gross Tonnage

Gross Tonnage refers to the volume of all ship's

enclosed spaces (from keel to funnel) measured to the
outside of the hull framing.
Gross Tonnage

It was a measurement of the enclosed spaces within a

ship expressed in "tons" – a unit which was actually
equivalent to 100 cubic feet.
Net Tonnage

Net Tonnage is the volume of the total enclosed

spaces less some exempted spaces used for working
the ship such as crew spaces, galleys etc. It is
therefore the space available for carrying cargo.
Net Tonnage
The Gross Tonnage less the volume of, helm station, crew
spaces, etc., again with differences depending on which port
spaces that will not hold cargo (e.g. engine compartment or
country is doing the calculations).
It represents the volume of the ship available for
transporting freight or passengers.
Displacement
Displacement is a measure of the actual weight of the vessel and all or some
of its contents.
It is often expressed in long tons or in metric tons, and is calculated simply
by multiplying the volume of the hull below the waterline (ie. the volume of
water it is displacing) by the density of the water. (Note that the density will
depend on whether the vessel is in fresh or salt water, or is in the tropics,
where water is warmer and hence less dense.)
Using the SI or metric system: displacement (in tonnes) is volume (in m³)
multiplied by the specific gravity of sea water (1.025 nominally).
Displacement
The word "displacement" arises from the basic physical law,
discovered by Archimedes, that the weight of a floating
object equals that of the water which would otherwise
occupy the "hole in the water" created by the ship.
SHIPS
Ships and other watercraft are used for ship transport.
Various types can be distinguished by propulsion, size
or cargo type. Most modern merchant ships can be
placed in one of a few categories, such as:
bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker

bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker is a

merchant ship used to transport unpackaged
bulk cargo such as cereals, coal, ore, and cement.
Ships recognizable as bulk carriers began to appear in
the mid-19th century[2] and have steadily grown in
sophistication.
bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker

Today, bulkers make up a third of the world's

merchant fleet and range from small
coastal trading vessels of under 500 deadweight tons
(DWT) to mammoths of 365,000 DWT.
Solid Bulk Carrier
bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker

Bulkers must be carefully designed and maintained to

withstand the rigors of their work.
They may carry cargo that is very dense, corrosive, or
abrasive, and they are especially exposed to the dangers of
cargo shifting which can cause a ship to capsize.[2]
A bulker's large hatchways, important for efficient cargo
handling, add to the risk of catastrophic flooding.
bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker

Historical forces including economic pressures,

disasters, and a maturing body of international
regulations have combined to mold today's bulker
fleet, affecting aspects from architecture to day-to-day
operational procedures.[3]
Container ships
Container ships are cargo ships that carry all of their
load in truck-size containers, in a technique called
containerization.
They form a common means of commercial intermodal
freight transport.
Informally known as "box boats," they carry the majority
of the world's dry cargo.
Containership
Container ships
Most container ships are propelled by diesel engines,
and have crews of between 20 and 40 people.
They generally have a large accommodation block at
the stern, directly above the engine room. Container
ships now carry up to 15,000 containers on a voyage.
Tankers
Tankers are cargo ships for the transport of fluids,
such as crude oil, petroleum products,
liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas and
chemicals, also vegetable oils, wine and other food -
the tanker sector comprises one third of the world
tonnage.
Tanker
Reefer ships
Reefer ships are cargo ships typically used to
transport perishable commodities which require
temperature-controlled transportation, mostly fruits,
meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other
foodstuffs.
Reefer Ship
Roll-on/roll-off ships
Roll-on/roll-off ships are cargo ships designed to carry
wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trailers or
railway carriages.
RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to
be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in
port.
While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other
short distances still often have built-in ramps, the term
RORO is generally reserved for larger ocean-going vessels.
Ro-Ro
Coastal trading vessels
Coastal trading vessels, 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 sea-going ships usually cannot (sea-going
ships have a very deep hull for supplies and trade
etc.).
Coaster
Ferries
Ferries are a form of transport, usually a boat or ship,
but also other forms, carrying (or ferrying) passengers
and sometimes their vehicles.
Ferries are also used to transport freight (in lorries
and sometimes unpowered freight containers) and
even railroad cars.
Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return
services
Ferries
Ferries
A foot-passenger ferry with many stops, such as in
Venice, is sometimes called a waterbus or water taxi.
Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of
many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct
transit between points at a capital cost much lower
than bridges or tunnels.
Cruise Ships
Cruise ships are passenger ships used for pleasure voyages,
where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are
considered an essential part of the experience.
Cruising has become a major part of the tourism industry,
with millions of passengers each year as of 2006 .
Cruise Ships
The industry's rapid growth has seen nine or more newly
built ships catering to a North American clientele added
every year since 2001, as well as others servicing European
clientele.
Smaller markets such as the Asia-Pacific region are
generally serviced by older tonnage displaced by new ships
introduced into the high growth areas
Cable Layer
Cable layer is a deep-sea vessel designed and used to
lay underwater cables for telecommunications,
electricity, and such.
A large superstructure, and one or more spools that
feed off the transom distinguish it.
Tug Boat
A tugboat is a boat used to manoeuvre, primarily by towing
or pushing other vessels (see shipping) in harbors, over the
open sea or through rivers and canals.
They are also used to tow barges, disabled ships, or other
equipment like towboats.
Tug Boat
Dredger
A dredger is a ship used to excavate in shallow seas or
fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up
bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different
location.
Barge
A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal
transport of heavy goods.
Most barges are not self-propelled and need to be moved by
tugboats towing or towboats pushing them.
Barges on canals (towed by draft animals on an adjacent
towpath) contended with the railway in the early industrial
revolution but were outcompeted in the carriage of high-value
items due to the higher speed, falling costs, and route
flexibility of rail transport.
Barge
Exotic Ships - Hydrofoil
A hydrofoil is a boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts
below the hull.
As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils develop
enough lift for the boat to become foil borne - i.e. to raise
the hull up and out of the water.
This results in a great reduction in drag and a corresponding
increase in speed.
