What Are The Differences Between Dry Cargo Ships And Chemical Carriers?

There are clear differences in design and use between dry cargo ships and Chemical Carriers.

Dry cargo ships are ships designed to transport various dry goods, such as wood, ore, grain, etc. The hold of a dry cargo ship is usually closed to keep the cargo dry and clean. Because dry cargo ships need to carry a large amount of cargo, their cargo holds are usually large and designed to be strong and stable enough to withstand the weight and pressure of the cargo. In addition, dry cargo ships usually have a higher stowage capacity in order to carry more cargo.
Chemical tanker is a ship specially designed for the transport of various chemicals. Because chemicals are often flammable, explosive, toxic or corrosive, Chemical Carriers need to be designed and built with special consideration for safety and environmental protection. The cargo holds of Chemical Carriers are usually made of special materials and designs to prevent chemical leaks and corrosion of the hull. In addition, Chemical Carriers need to be equipped with professional fire and emergency equipment to deal with possible hazardous situations.

In general, dry cargo ships and Chemical Carriers are very different in design and use. Dry cargo ships are mainly concerned with the loading and transportation capacity of the cargo, while Chemical Carriers require special attention to safety and environmental protection.
