Opis
Containerships carry all of their load in containers. The sizes vary from small vessels with a capacity of about 500 TEU to large vessels with a capacity of about 22,000 TEU. Their holds are cellular, with vertical frames or guides where the containers are slotted. Containerships can load both 20-foot and 40-foot containers. There are 3 types of containerships: Container feeder ship (capacity to carry 300 TEU to 1000 TEU), Large container ship (capacity to carry 10,000 TEU to 20,000 TEU), Open-top container ship, or Hatchless containerships (capacity to carry 2,000 TEU to 4,000 TEU).
