LASH SHIP Lighter aboard ship Loading of barges (lighters)

Heavy-lift vessel

Heavy-lift vessel moves vary large loads that cannot be handled by normally equipped ships semi-submersible

Special purpose vessels Cablelayer Icebreaker Oil drilling vessel Research ship

Icebreaker

Fishing vessels Trawler Freezer trawler Fishery factory ship Whale ship Whale factory ship

Trawler

Trawler engaged in all-the-year-round fishing must therefore be a strong, sturdy vessel able to work in the worst of weather

Freezer trawler can remain at sea for many weeks longer than this as the catch is sorted, washed, gutted and then frozen into about 40 kg-blocks and retained at a temperature of about -28°C, until port is reached.

Fish factory the catch is not only cleaned and gutted, but also filleted, skinned and processed ready for the market
