cargo ship
Oceanic freight vessel
A cargo ship is a vessel designed to transport goods rather than passengers.
Most international trade moves by cargo ship—container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and freighters cross oceans carrying everything from oil to electronics to grain.
The cargo ship was delayed at port for inspection.
