A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane
specialized in lifting heavy loads. The largest crane vessels are used for
offshore construction. Conventional monohulls are used, but the largest
crane vessels are often catamaran or semi-submersible types as they
have increased stability. On a sheerleg crane, the crane is fixed and
cannot rotate, and the vessel therefore is manoeuvered to place loads.
A fireboat is a specialized watercraft and with pumps and nozzles designed for
fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. The first fireboats, dating to the mid-19th
century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment.[1] Older designs
derived from tugboats and modern fireboats more closely resembling seafaring
ships can both be found in service today. Some departments would give their multi-
purpose craft the title of "Fireboat" also.
A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal
transport of heavy goods. Some barges are not self-propelled and need
to be towed by tugboats or pushed by towboats. Canal barges, 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.
An icebreaker is a special-purpose ship or boat designed to move and
navigate through ice-covered waters. Although the term usually refers
to ice-breaking ships, it may also refer to smaller vessels (e.g.,
icebreaking boats that were used on the canals of Great Britain in the
days of commercial carrying).
Container ships are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size
intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. They form
a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport.
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are vessels designed to carry
wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers
or railroad cars that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels.
This is in contrast to lo-lo (lift on-lift off) vessels which use a crane to
load and unload cargo.
A naval ship is a ship (or sometimes boat, depending on classification)
used for combat purposes, commonly by a navy. Naval ships are
differentiated from civilian ships by construction and purpose. Generally,
naval ships are damage resilient and armed with various weapon
systems, though armament on troop transports is light or non-existent.
ferry (or ferryboat) is a form of transportation, usually a boat, but
sometimes a ship, used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and
sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most
ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry
with many stops, such as in Venice, is sometimes called a water bus or
water taxi.
A galleon was a large, multi-decked sailing ship used primarily by
European states from the 16th to 18th centuries. Whether used for war
or commerce, they were generally armed with the demi-culverin type of
cannon.
A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure
voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are part of the
experience, as well as the different destinations along the way.
Transportation is not the prime purpose, as cruise ships operate mostly
on routes that return passengers to their originating port, so the ports
of call are usually in a specified region of a continent.
A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a
lake or river. Many different kinds of vessels are used in commercial,
artisanal and recreational fishing.
A reefer ship is a type of ship typically used to transport perishable
commodities which require temperature-controlled transportation,
mostly fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other foodstuffs
.
An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting
liquefied natural gas (LNG). As the LNG market grows rapidly[1], the fleet
of LNG carriers continues to experience tremendous growth.
A Platform supply vessel (often abbreviated as PSV) is a ship specially
designed to supply offshore oil platforms. These ships range from 20 to
100 meters in length and accomplish a variety of tasks. The primary
function for most of these vessels is transportation of goods and
personnel to and from offshore oil platforms and other offshore
structures.
A drillship is a maritime vessel that has been fitted with drilling
apparatus. It is most often used for exploratory offshore drilling of new
oil or gas wells in deep water or for scientific drilling. The drillship can
also be used as a platform to carry out well maintenance or completion
work such as casing and tubing installation or subsea tree installations.
It is often built to the design specification of the oil production company
and/or investors, but can also be a modified tanker hull outfitted with a
dynamic positioning system to maintain its position over the well.
