commercial vessel
Ship for trade
A commercial vessel is a ship or boat used for business purposes rather than recreation or military operations.
The term covers cargo ships, tankers, passenger ferries, fishing boats, and tugboats—any watercraft engaged in trade, transport, or services for profit.
The port handles over two hundred commercial vessels per month.
Maritime law distinguishes commercial vessels from private yachts and naval ships.
