Transport of goods at sea and cargo ships employment
The term “general (multipurpose) cargo ships” covers many
different ship designs that do not fit into other more specialised
cargo ship types. Thus, general cargo ships are not specialised
for transport of only dry bulks, only containers or only heavy-lift
cargoes, but they have flexibility to carry any of these cargo types.
General cargo ships are the world’s most numerous ship types,
excepting fishing vessels. Thus, in the year 2002 their share in the
overall world merchant fleet amounted to about 37% in numbers
and to about 11% in dwt.
