META024 | Ship Type (IHS) V4.0

Ship Attribute

DefinitionOcean-going ships are classified by the type of cargo they carry and their size expressed as dwt or deadweight tonnage. In some cases, a ship is classified by its length and width. Since each classification society has slightly different standards, the size range for each ship type may vary. 

For the sake of grouping and filtering during benchmarking a suitable list of ship types was defined.
