Ship Types - INI

Ship types are primarily classified by purpose (cargo transport, passenger transport, fishing, military, etc.). Based on definitions by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), various types exist including container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, passenger ships, ferries, fishing vessels, and warships. Modern ships are designed specifically for their respective purposes and play essential roles as infrastructure for international trade and maritime transportation.
