Types of vessel: container ships, bulk carriers and tankers

The merchant fleet is diverse, and the type of vessel largely defines your day-to-day life on board: routes, work pace and specialization.

• Container ships: regular routes and frequent port calls.
• Bulk carriers: solid bulk cargo, with longer loading and unloading times.
• Tankers: transport of liquids, with strict safety protocols.
• Offshore: support to platforms, with specialized operations.

Understanding the particularities of each one helps you choose the professional path that best fits your goals.
