Linear Dimensions
Length: Distance between stern and bow at ships.

Linear Dimensions
Beam: Distance from port side to starboard side. Measured at amidships.

Linear Dimensions
Depth: Distance between the undersides of the deck amidships to the keels bottom.

Tonnage Capacity
Displacement Light Load Deadweight Gross Tonnage Net Tonnage Cargo Deadweight

Conclusion
A ship's size and capacity can be described in two ways-linear dimensions or tonnages. Each is completely different but are related.

Troop Ships
Types of Ships
Vessels can be classified by their purpose in:

Naval Ships
Civil Ships Civil ships are classified according the use that everyone will have.

Civil Ships

Industrial Ships Service Ships Technical Ships

Civil Ships
Troop Ships: Are ships designed to carry freight and passengers

Freighters Troop Ships Passenger Ships Special Troop Ships

Troop Ships
Freighters: Are vessels designed to carry freight.

General Cargo ships Freighters Specialized Cargo Ships Liquid Cargo Ships

Freighters
General Cargo Ships: General cargo includes items which are packed or unpacked. They usually have spacious holds which occupy the larger part of the hull.

Reefers

Freighters
Specialized Cargo Ships: The cargo is carefully distributed according to its type and requirement of special conditions.

Timbers Containers Barges Ro-Ro Bulks Heavy Cattles

Specialized Cargo
Reefer Cargo Ships: They transport perishable food such as fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy, having a carrying capacity of 8,000 - 12,000 t.

Specialized Cargo
Timbers Carrier Ships: Onedecked ships designed to carry logs and beams; carrying capacity - 5,000 - 20,000 t, speed - 13-15 knots.

Specialized Cargo
Containers Ships: These ships are classified as unitload ships because freight is carried in huge boxes of standard size (units), usually from 10 to 40 t.

Specialized Cargo
Barges-Carrying Ships: This type of ships pertains to the category of containerships but the principle is slightly different.

Specialized Cargo
Ro-Ro Ships: Used for transporting motor vehicles and other wheeled equipment. Ro-Ro is short for roll-on roll-off ships and is thus called because cargo is carried on wheeled containers or trailers.

Specialized Cargo
Bulk Carriers: Bulk cargo is a wide term. Heavy bulkcarriers usually transport ore, coal and coke, building materials, such as cement and gravel. Light bulkers carry grain, salt and sugar.

Specialized Cargo
Heavy Cargo Ships: Heavy cargo vessels can be divided into: Semisubmersible heavy lift ships, conventional heavy lift ships, tow barges and dock ships. Their construction and stability allows them to carry extremely large and heavy objects.

Specialized Cargo
Flo-Flo Ships: Float-on/Floatoff or semisubmersible ships, provide the capability to load, transport and offload outsized military cargo independent of port equipment traditionally used for handling large or extremely heavy cargo, such as tug boats, barges, landing craft, floating cranes, and single anchor leg mooring systems. Lifts range from approximately 50 to as much as 45,000 tons.

Specialized Cargo
Cattles Ships: as the name implies, these ships transport cattle.

Freighters
Liquid Cargo Ships: They transport cargo in liquid form.

General Cargo Ships Freighters Specialized Cargo Ships

Liquid Cargo
Liquid Natural Gas: An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG)

Liquid Cargo
Chemical Ships: They transport chemicals such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and ammoniac.

Liners
Troop Ships
Passengers Ships: They transport people.

Cruise
Passengers Ships

Coastwise Yachts

Passengers Ships
Liners Ships: Liners sail on one and same route (be it through rivers, seas or oceans) according to a timetable.

Passengers Ships
Cruise Ships: Their purpose is to take tourists to journeys.

Passengers Ships
Coastwise Ships: Not large inland-going ships which sail close to the coast between two or more ports; Their seats for passengers vary from 40 to 600.

Passengers Ships
Yachts: crafts, propelled either by sail or by power, used for having fun.

Troop Ships
Special Troop Ships: They transport people and freight.

Special Troop Ships

Ferrys

Special Troop Ships

Ferrys: Designed to carry wagons, vehicles and passengers by serving as a bridge between two ports, located at the opposite ends of rivers, bays, canals, etc.

Civil Ships
Industrial Ships: Designed to draw out raw materials and food resources from sea.

Industrial Ships

Extractive Ships

Processing Ships

Industrial Ships
Extractive Ships: Ships used solely for catching

Trawlers Extractive Ships

Seiners
Whalers

Extractive Ships
Trawlers: The most widespread type of fishing vessel; The name "trawler" comes from "trawl" - a fishing net which is dragged along the sea floor.

Extractive Ships
Seiners: Seiners use a peculiar kind of net (a purse seine) which hangs vertically in the water and has a rope at its bottom

Extractive Ships
Whalers: Ships designed for hunting whales

Industrial Ships
Processing Ships: Their main purpose is to receive the catch from extractive ships, process it into usable products and bring it to ports.

Ships Providing
Civil Ships
Service Ships: Vessels which serve the merchant fleets and operate in harbors, inland waters and water areas

Auxiliary Ships

Service Ships
Ships Providing Safety Ships with special purposes

Service Ships
Ships Providing: navigation through different waters.

Hydrographic Ships Ships Providing

Pilots Boats
Lightships

Ships Providing
Hydrographic Ships: Their purpose is to explore seas and oceans, gather data and report to hydrographic bureaus which on their part, compose maps and charts.

Ships Providing
Pilots Boats: Small vessels that carry a pilot to a ship and then bring him back to the port.

Ships Providing
Lightships: Small vessels painted red and equipped with light and radio-signal devices and anchored at places which are dangerous for ships to pass through.

Service Ships
Auxiliary Ships: Vessel specially designed to help others ships.

Icebreakers Auxiliary Ships

Tugboats
Push Tugs

Auxiliary Ships
Icebreakers: These are ships maintaining navigation in winter by leading other vessels across ice tracks (and breaking ice-floes).

Ships with Special Purposes

Training Ships: For training cadets.

Ships with Special Purposes

Floating houses: hospitals, hotels, exhibitions, workshops, laboratories ships.

Dredges
Civil Ships
Technical Ships: Ships which provide technical service and create the necessary conditions for ship navigation.

Technical Ships

Suction Dredges Floating Docks Others

Technical Ships
Dredges: These are floating vessels used to make sea- or river-floors deeper (for example, this is done when ports and canals are built or simply maintained).

Technical Ships
Suction Dredges: These crafts have a suction device which gathers sand from the sea floor and carries it away with a system of pipes to land or to another deep place in water which has to be made shallower.

Technical Ships
Floating Docks: the largest representatives of technical ships; Floating docks are floating vessels which cannot move on their own and serve as places for construction and repair of ships.

Technical Ships
Others: floating cranes, power stations and workshops; cable laying ships; oil collector ships (they surround the oil spills and clear them); drill ships; offshore drilling rig supply vessels;

Conclusion
Our presentation aims to describe all types of ships by explaining their typical features, through the use of pictures. It dells mainly on troop ships, because they form the world's merchant fleet and contribute essentially to world trade and transportation.
