Which ships can be used for Ocean Transport? In ocean transport operations, goods of very diverse nature are moved. That is why the ships used must be adapted to the goods they transport. These are the main ships used in the transport of goods by sea:

Container ships: They are those that carry out the transport of containers. They account for the majority of the international transport of dry goods in the international arena.

Bulk carriers: They transport solid bulk cargoes such as minerals, grains, and even sugar.

Refrigerators: These ships have refrigeration systems that maintain perishable cargo, especially food, at an optimal temperature throughout its transport.

Rolling Cargo: They primarily carry vehicles that roll onto the ship. To do this, they have special ramps and platforms for this task, as well as vehicle fixing systems.

Cabotaze: When ships must navigate areas close to the coast with the little draft, cabotage ships are used, capable of navigating with the little draft

Oil Tankers: Also called tankers, they are designed to transport crude oil, gases, toxic or volatile liquids, and liquefied gases.

River vessels or barges: specially designed to navigate river lines.
