Introduction about shipping Industry

Types of Ships
Commercial vessels cargo ships (dry and liquid cargo e.g. bulk carriers, Container, roll-on roll-off ships oil tankers, chemical tankers, LPG/LNG tankers, ) passenger ships (cruise ships, ferries, ocean liners, ) special-purpose ships (tugboats, pilot boats, rescue boats, cable ships, research vessels, survey vessels, and icebreakers) Naval vessels Fishing vessels Weather vessels Inland and coastal boats

There are two main types of dry cargo: bulk Cargo and Break bulk cargo The shipping industry is global in scale and it reflects the economic health of nations and the world as a whole.

Sizes of Containers
Container shipping uses standard sized containers of 20 foot (6.09 meters), 40 foot (12.18 meters), 45 foot (14.6 meters) and 53 foot (16.15 meters). TEU is twenty-foot equivalent unit, which is the standard measure. Containers are built to international standard making them interchangeable between shipping companies, rail and truck companies. Containerization has increased the efficiency of moving traditional breakbulk cargoes Container vessels eliminate the individual hatches

 Shipping containers are usually made of steel, but other materials like aluminum, fiberglass or plywood are also used. They are designed to be entirely transferred to and from trains, trucks or trailers. There are several types of containers and they are categorized according to their size and functions.
The shipping sector in India shapes Indias economy to a large extent. The Indian shipping sector is growing in leaps and bounds and metamorphosing from a traditional way of business to attract lucrative business opportunities. the average age of container ships worldwide was 10.6 years, making them the youngest general vessel type, followed by bulk carrier at 16.6 years, oil tankers at 17 years, general cargo ships at 24.6 years, and others at 25.3 years The act of hiring a ship to carry cargo is called chartering
