Definition, Construction and types of container ships Helloo friends, In this video we have tried to explain, various amazing types of ships, sailing world wide in ocean waters. Most Amazing Ocean Going Ships | Part-2| How Container Ships Run | How Containers are Carried Container Ship: Amazing Ocean Going Ships: Part-2, How Ships are built, How Containers Are Carried Different Types Of Ships Explained In The Video are below: Gearless Bulk Carrier, Geared Bulk Carrier, General Cargo Vessel, Oil Bul Ore Carrier(OBO) Self Unloader Gearless Container Vessel , Geared Container Vessel, Product Tanker , Crude Tanker, Chemical Tanker, LNG carrier, Fully Refrigerated LPG Carrier, Semi Pressurized LPG Carrier, Fully Pressurized LPG, Car / Vehicle Carrier, Timber Carrier, Live Stock Carrier, War Ships, Air Craft Carrier, Submarine, Hover Craft, High Speed Craft, Off Shore Support Vessel, Sail Boats, Super Yachts, Fishing Vessel, Container ship. A container ship is a cargo ship , that carries all of its load in truck-size intermodal containers. Big size container vessels are normally gearless and the containers are loaded and discharged by in port gantry cranes. Such facilities are only established in the big ports of the world. Most Container ships are medium and smaller size which has its own unloading crane. Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) are 450m and longer, carry 24,000 and higher TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit) of containers. about 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide is transported by container, modern container ships can carry over 24,000 TEU. Container ships are distinguished into 7 major size categories: small feeder, feeder, feeder max, Panamax, Post-Panamax, New Panamax and ultra-large. As per recent statistics, there were 161 container ships in the VLCV class (Very Large Container Vessel), and only 51 ports in the world can accommodate them. Some of the container ships carry only refrigerated container. A reefer ship is a refrigerated cargo ship typically used to transport perishable cargo, which require temperature-controlled handling, such as fruits, meat, vegetables, dairy products, and similar items. Refrigerated container ships are specifically designed to carry containerised unit loads where each container has its individual refrigerated unit. These ships differ from conventional container ships in their design, power generation, and electrical distribution equipment. They need provisions made for powering each container's cooling system. Because of their ease of loading and unloading cargo many container ships are now being built or redesigned to carry refrigerated containers. Because of the increasing demand in the market, increasing cargo-carrying capacity, increasing operating efficiency and improvement in environmental processes and operation of a container vessel in liner service, the container vessels have continuously become bigger. The container carrying capacity of container ships today has increased more than 1200% compared to 1968. They have become more technologically advanced and fuel-efficient over time. Basic Design Of Container Vessels The design of the accompanying container vessel is decisive. The hull is akin to the conventional Bulk Carriers and General cargo ships built around a firm keel. The lower part of the vessel has a significant effect on the construction of the ship. There are lower decks, an Engine room, great ballast, and Fuel Tanks. The Cargo holds are the places where the underdeck Containers are loaded. Inside the hold, cell guide arrangements guide the container to slot well. This helps the crane operator safely slide the container inside the handles and acts as a guide. It is imperative to maintain this cell guide well. Any damage to the cell guides may lead to critical consequences. These holds are topped by hatch covers, above which the containers are stacked. Most modern container vessels do not have cranes, but some have cargo cranes installed on them, especially in vessels of smaller sizes. Vessels with cranes are called geared container vessels, whereas vessels without cranes are called Gearless container vessels.

There are also some specialized systems for securing the containers onboard. In most container vessels, lift-away types of Hatch covers are used. Hatch covers to increase the ship’s carrying capacity and prevent water ingress inside the hold & fissure, the containers under-deck and on deck both. These hatch covers have cleats that must be closed after every cargo operation & before the vessel departs from any port.
