Ocean transport includes:

1) Coastal Shipping:
It is one of the most essential modes of transportation for moving commodities around a country.
It is a less expensive and faster means of transportation that is best suited for transporting
heavy, bulky, and cheap cargo such as coal, iron ore, and other similar commodities to remote
locations. However, it can only serve a small area.
2) Overseas Shipping:
It is the process of transporting commodities across countries by sea, air, or land. International
shipping is a complicated process of transporting goods across borders that is governed by
several rules and regulations.
3)Ships and watercraft Bulk Carrier
Bulk carriers are cargo ships that transport bulk cargo such as ore, food staples (rice, grain, and
so on), and other comparable cargo. The huge box-like hatches on their deck, meant to move
outboard for loading, distinguish them. Dry or wet bulk carriers are available.
Container ship
Container ships are cargo ships that containerize their entire cargo and transport it in trucksized
containers. They are a common mode of intermodal commercial freight transportation. They are
referred to as "box boats" since they transport most the world's dry goods.
Multi-Purpose ship
A multi-purpose ship (also known as a general cargo ship) transports a wide range of items,
including bulk commodities, break bulk, and heavy cargoes. They are frequently geared
(equipped with cranes) to allow maximum trading flexibility, and recent examples are equipped
to transport containers and grains. They usually have huge open holds and tweendecks to allow
for the transportation of multiple cargoes on the same voyage.
Refrigerated ships
Refrigerated ships (also known as reefers) are cargo ships that transport perishable goods such
as fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products, and other delicacies that require temperature
control.
Tankers
Tankers are cargo ships that transport liquids such crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and chemicals, as well as vegetable oils,
wine, and other foods. One-third of the world's tonnage is carried by tankers.
Roll-on/Roll-off
Ships built to move wheeled cargo such as autos, trailers, or railway trains are known as
rollon/roll-off ships. When in port, RORO (or ro/ro) vessels feature built-in ramps that allow cargo
to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off." While smaller ferries that run across rivers and short
distances typically feature built-in ramps, the term RORO is usually reserved for bigger ocean-
going vessels, such as pure car/truck carrier (PCTC) ships.

Cruise Ship
Cruise ships are passenger ships used for pleasure voyages. The trip itself, as well as the ship's
facilities, are considered vital parts of the experience on cruise ships. With millions of
passengers each year, cruising has become an important aspect of the tourism business.
Ocean Liner
An ocean liner is a passenger ship that travels from one seaport to another on a set timetable
over regular long-distance nautical routes. Ocean liners may also transport goods or mail, and
they may be employed for other purposes on occasion.
