- Bulkcarrier vessels: Suitable for moving bulk cargoes, they have their own cranes to facilitate loading and unloading.
- RoRo Vessels: (Roll on – Roll off) Very common in the sector because they transport all types of cargo that can roll, such as vehicles and trucks, they are also used for passengers.
- Vessels specialized in Refrigerated Cargo; used with container is very common in the food and perishable sector.
- Vessels exclusively for the Livestock sector, allows moving live animals massively.
- Chemical Products Vessels: normally transport all the products of the industrial raw materials sector such as liquid and volatile gases that require many precautions in their transportation.
- Oil tankers: dedicated to move crude oil, they are usually of large sizes and can transport up to 2,000,000 barrels of crude oil.
