ocean-going
Built for seas
Ocean-going describes vessels designed for open-sea voyages rather than coastal or inland waters: an ocean-going freighter, ocean-going yachts.
Such ships are built to withstand rougher conditions and longer journeys than riverboats or harbor craft.
The term occasionally applies figuratively to anything robust enough for major undertakings.
