According to the first criterion, there are cargoships, which carry different goods, or cargoes;passenger vessels, which carry people; warships (fighting ships), which the navy consists of; special vessels, and auxiliary vessels. Cargo ships are also different: there are dry-cargo ships (general cargo ships, container ships, timber carriers, and bulk cargo ships, or bulkers – ore carriers, coal carriers, grain carriers etc.), refrigerators and tankers. Refrigerators, or reefers, carry frozen (refrigerated) goods like foodstuffs. Tankers usually carry liquid cargoes such as oil products, spirits, wine, fresh water and the like.Special vessels do not carry any cargo, but do another kind of service. For example, fishing vesselsnet fish; whaling ships hunt whales; research ships help scientists to explore the deep sea and the atmosphere; on board training ships cadets and students have their shipboard training.Auxiliary vessels are tugs which tow large ships, salvage vessels, icebreakers, dredgers, floating cranes, barges and lighters, fire vessels, light-ships and the like. According to the type of the expanse of water where vessels serve, we classify them as: river vessels, canal-type vessels, lake-type vessels, marine vessels, and deep-sea, or ocean-going vessels. Besides, there are river-canal vessels, inlandwaterways vessels (which serve on rivers, canals and lakes, but do not go to sea), river-marine vessels (which travel by river and by sea, not far from the shore, but cannot sail across the ocean).According to the kind of energy that moves them, and their propulsive agent, there are sailing ships (sailers, or tall ships), steamships, or steamers (paddle vessels and screw, or propeller vessels), turbine-driven ships, motor vessels (diesel vessels), electric (turbo-electric
and diesel-electric) ships and atomic vessels. In the ancient times, large oar vessels and enormous sail-and-oar ships were wide-spread; but now only small boats have oars as their propulsive agents.
