commercial vessels
Freight-hauling watercraft
Commercial vessels are ships or boats used for business purposes rather than recreation or military operations.
The category includes cargo ships, tankers, container ships, fishing boats, ferries, and cruise ships—any watercraft engaged in trade, transport, or commercial fishing.
The port handles hundreds of commercial vessels annually.
Maritime law distinguishes commercial vessels from private pleasure craft.
