4. Specific Aspects of the Design of Some Types of Merchant Ships
Characterization of the fleets, specific systems and equipment of some of the more common types of merchant ships. Tankers: inert gas systems; COW systems; cargo systems; fire fighting systems. Bulk Carriers: load/unload systems; types of hatch covers. Container Carriers / Multi-Purpose ships: types and dimensions of the containers, equipment for the handling, stowage and fixing of containers. RO/RO Ships: equipment for handling ro/ro cargo; fire fighting systems.
