Cargo Large homogeneous consignments Same cargo Consignment fills a complete ship or hold Simple stowage requirements Shipment details Small number of shippers Cargo loaded near location of origin Cargo discharged near destination Port-to-port contracts SHIP TYPES GENERAL CARGO - CHARACTERISTICS
Insufficient to fill a ship or hold Large numbers of shippers Small diverse consignments Difficult stowage requirements Often onward hinterland move(s) Multi-port itineraries Primarily container, breakbulk and roro SHIP TYPES BREAKBULK
Low handling rates Highly labour intensive High cost operations Very low productivity High freight rates Long delivery times Poor cargo quality control Constraint on trade SHIP TYPES BREAKBULK – STANDARD UNITS

Different types of voyage (journey) Deep-sea v Short-sea Mainline v Feeder Coastal v Short sea Coastal v River It is not the ship type but the journey Voyage and ship size Deep-sea tend to be large Mainline tend to be large Short-sea tend to be small Feeder tend to be small River tend to be small Voyage and water conditions Oceans Straits Coastal Rivers Voyage length Different crew needs Different fuel quantity SHIP TYPES LECTURE STRUCTURE

Section 7 Specialised Ships TANKERS LIQUID CARGO
Shipped in bulk Ship load consignment = 1 cargo per ship Hold load (parcel) consignment = multiple cargoes per ship Loading and unloading by pumping May need to heat liquid if it is viscous (sticky)
????? TANKERS OIL TANKERS TANKERS SINGLE HULL & DOUBLE HULL
Single Hull Double Hull TANKERS RISK OF EXPLOSIONS – INERT GAS
Sun on liquid oil = vapour (gas) Ignition + vapour + oxygen = explosions Inert gas = replace oxygen with a safe gas (engine exhaust) TANKERS LOADING & UNLOADING TANKERS TANKER SHIP SIZES
