What kind of passenger ships are there?

There are many kinds of passenger ships, called ocean-going passenger ships. This kind of ship is generally more than 10,000 tons, which can stand the test of wind and waves in bad weather at sea. For example, domestic "Hua Yao" and "Guanghua" had a peak passenger flow on the North Atlantic route between Europe and America. On this route, the displacement of ocean-going passenger ships is as high as 30,000 tons to 80,000 tons, and the speed is above 3 knots. The world-famous luxury passenger ship Normandy is one of them. This kind of liner, which mainly carries passengers, carries a small amount of valuable goods and mail that needs to be delivered within a certain period of time, and sails regularly on a fixed route, is called "mail ship".

Those passenger ships sailing between coastal ports are called coastal passenger ships or medium-range passenger ships. For example, passenger and cargo ships on Shanghai-Dalian, Dalian-Qingdao and Guangzhou-Shantou routes have a displacement of about 7,500 tons and a speed of 18 knots. Each flight can carry 900 passengers and 2000 tons of cargo. Because they not only carry passengers, but also carry a certain amount of goods, we call them passenger and cargo ships.

Passenger ships sailing between ports on the river are small because of the limitation of water depth and other conditions. The displacement is 3,700 tons, the speed is about 15 knots, and it can carry 200 passengers and 450 tons of cargo. This kind of ship is called a river passenger ship.

Passenger ships with shorter voyages include all kinds of short-distance passenger ships and passenger ferries. For example, ferries on both sides of the Yangtze River and Taiwan Province Strait. Some ferries can also ferry the right amount of vehicles.
