Commercial vessels Commercial vessels or merchant ships can be divided into three broad

categories: cargo ships, passenger ships, and special-purpose ships. [47] Cargo ships transport dry
and liquid cargo. Dry cargo can be transported in bulk by bulk carriers, packed directly onto a general
cargo ship in break-bulk, packed in intermodal containers as aboard a container ship, or driven
aboard as in roll-on roll-off ships.

They are connected to the ship by a rope or chain. On larger vessels, the chain runs through a
hawsepipe. Cargo equipment such as cranes and cargo booms are used to load and unload cargo
and ship’s stores. Safety equipment such as lifeboats, liferafts, and survival suits are carried aboard
many vessels for emergency use.

From the perspective of the international shipping industry, the globe is divided into nations that
own cargo and nations that own ships; the majority of nations fall into both categories. Among such
differing interests exists great potential for conflict regarding damage to, loss of, or delay in the
arrival of sea cargo and how the risks for such potentialities should be allocated among the parties.
The issues at the base of the potential conflicts include: which party bears the risk; which risk
allocation rules apply; to what extent is the carrier or shipowner liable for damage or loss while the
cargo is in its possession; and to what extent should government be involved in the regulation of
private transactions between private parties in attempting to determine what the extent of liability
is for each party.

The difficulty in detecting the Chinese smuggles is because there are too many cargoes loaded in a
Cargo ship. In addition, many of the shipping companies and their crew do not know if their ship is

In the event the of the ship being lost at sea, the shipper and the carrier shared in the misfortune.
However, as long as carriers have accepted cargo on behalf of shippers, conflict over the economic
allocation of risk and liability has existed. As early as the latter decades of the 17th century, shippers
and carriers used Lloyd’s Coffee shop in London as a meeting place to hammer out the provisions for
general maritime policies of insurance and the insured risks for loss or damage to the shippers’
cargo.

Thus, we advise the company to keep the ship longer than 15-year period, since operating the vessel
over a longer period will earn additional profit and the ship can be scrapped some time later,
granting the same million dollars. However, there are few factors that signal why company might be
willing to get rid of the vessel. Firstly, if the company’s priority is to keep a young fleet of cargo ships,
operating ships older than 15 years may not be the optimal choice.
Sea-going societies have promulgated maritime laws regarding the carriage of goods at sea since
before the birth of Christ. As early as the Roman Empire, through the Middle Ages with the advent of
the Law Merchant, the laws of Visby, Oleron and Hansa Cities, shipper and carrier were considered
joint venturers, sharing in both the risks and the rewards of the cargo delivery. Shippers would travel
on board during the journey to oversee the safety of their cargo, while carriers were obligated to
provide a seaworthy ship and a competent crew.

then take their human cargos across the Middle Passage to ports in the Caribbean or South to the
United States. There, they would sell the slaves and often buy cargos of sugar cane, molasses and
other goods produced with slave labor to bring north to markets in New England.

Superstructures are found above the main deck. On sailboats, these are usually very low. On modern
cargo ships, they are almost always located near the ship’s stern. On passenger ships and warships,
the superstructure generally extends far forward. Equipment[edit] Shipboard equipment varies from
ship to ship depending on such factors as the ship’s era, design, area of operation, and purpose.

Separate berthings and heads are found on sailboats over about 25 feet (7.6 m). Fishing boats and
cargo ships typically have one or more cargo holds. Most larger vessels have an engine room, a
galley, and various compartments for work. Tanks are used to store fuel, engine oil, and fresh water.
Ballast tanks are equipped to change a ship’s trim and modify its stability.
