2General Cargo Ship
- Until ships started to be built to carry specific
and specialized cargoes, all ships were simply
general cargo ship, i.e. built to carry all types
of cargoes e.g. drums of asphalt or caustic soda,
cases of machinery, boxes or cartons containing
ebearings or electronic goods, Radios,
transistors, steel plates, paper rolls, cases of
TEA, Bags of coffee seeds etc.
General cargo ships hold were further
compartmentalized by one or two deck under the
main deck so that different type of cargo carried
by these ships could be separately stored. The
role of the general cargo vessel began to wane
with the arrival of big size bulk carrier and
tankers, but the decline of these general cargo
vessel has accelerated since the advent of
containerization (in the 1960).Not only are
container ships able to carry greater volume of
cargo in standardized cargo container, the time
spent in loading and discharging has been
dramatically reduced. Where a general cargo
vessel may take 3-4 days to load or discharge, a
container ship can achieve the same in a matter
of hours, although generally small in size, are
not suitable for container, or operating on coast
and inland waters.
