32000DWT(1900TEU) Container Ship

Container ships, also known as "container ships", are mainly transport ships carrying containers.

Definition: A container ship is a ship mainly loaded with international standard containers, and its cargo capacity is usually expressed in terms of the container space (TEU) loaded with 20 feet of standard containers.

Classification
Classified by loading container: it can be divided into partial container ships, full container ships and convertible container ships.
Some container ships: the central part of the ship is used as a dedicated space for containers, and other spaces are still filled with ordinary groceries.
Full container ship: a ship specially used for loading containers. There are grid shelves and vertical guide rails in the cargo compartment to facilitate the container to be lowered along the guide rails. There are grid constraints at the four corners to prevent dumping.
Transmutable container ship: The structure of the container in the cargo hold is detachable, which can carry containers and, if necessary, ordinary groceries.
 

Structural features
Long and narrow appearance: the container ship has a long and narrow appearance, a single deck, a straight upper deck, a large cargo hold, and a width of up to 70% ~ 80% of the ship's width.
Deck and cargo hatch covers: Deck and cargo hatch covers are provided with tie-down devices to secure containers loaded on the deck.
Inside the cargo compartment: The cargo compartment is equipped with a fixed grid guide frame to facilitate the loading and unloading of containers and prevent the box from moving when the ship is swaying.
Engine room and superstructure: the engine room is located at the stern, and the superstructure is located at the stern or middle of the ship to make way for more deck to stack containers.



 

Advantages and advantages
High loading and unloading efficiency: container ships use international unified specifications for container transportation of goods, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of loading and unloading workers, speeds up loading and unloading, and reduces manual loading and unloading costs.
Short stopping time: Due to the high efficiency of loading and unloading, the docking time of container ships in the port is greatly shortened, which speeds up the turnover of ships and improves the utilization rate of ships, vehicles and other means of transportation.
Small loss of goods: The containers are made of metal and sealed, and the goods inside will not be eroded by rain or sea water, reducing the loss and loss of goods in transit.
Flexible routes: container ship routes can be divided into trunk lines and branch lines. Trunk lines refer to the routes on which large container ships sail, while branch lines refer to the routes on which small container ships provide cargo for large container ships.
