    There are also the livestock carriers, though rarely met nowadays... Of course apart form cargo shipping there are passenger and cruise vessels.

    I have heard some unfortunate stories in the past, about livestock carriers having to throw their 'cargo' overboard in distress.

    Have these vessels been replaced by another type now? Since you mentioned that they are met rarely nowadays.

    I tried to find a representative picture of one of these ships but with no luck.

    I suppose that the firstone who actually did it was Columbus during the return voyage from america due to the wellknown problem he faced concerning the winds... Although sometimew somebody could face the dillema wether to throw off the cargo or just eat it!

    Well, I am not aware of the subject. I believe that special containers could substitute those vesels at a certain degree, but nothing I could say for sure...

    http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/stories/s1118129.htm
    And there is also another forum with a special thread on that kind of carriers (but don't abandon our forum...! ):
    http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11285

    There are about 50 to 60 (!) livestock carriers worldwide. First flags are Philipines and Lebanon with 10 and 8 vessels respectively.

    It's funny (but also logical), how the capacity of these vessels is measured in 'heads'. I had never heard of that before.

    See how my omission in 'vessels by type' brought us to something new (at least to me). I should omit things more often

    It is also interesting that only 10 vessels constitute the biggest registry.

    Thanks Michael.

    Προεπιλογή Wozmax

    NYK has emerged as the owner behind orders for two 250,000-dwt Wozmax
    ore carriers at compatriot yard Namura Shipbuilding.The new design marks an increase in the available load draft of ships
    used to transport ore from Western Australia from the previous limit
    of 230,000-dwt.
    The name Wozmax comes from the combination of 'W' for Western
    Australia, 'Oz' - the common slang for Australia and 'MAX' for the
    maximum size vessel for ore transport from Western Australia.
