These ships come in various types, such as semi - submersible transport ships, project cargo ships, open - deck cargo ships, and multi - purpose terminal ships. Semi - submersible transport ships can submerge their decks to load large floating objects like oil platforms. Project cargo ships are equipped with cranes for heavy - duty lifting. Open - deck cargo ships have large, unobstructed decks and ramps for easy loading and unloading of bulky items. Multi - purpose terminal ships offer flexible cargo - handling capabilities. Heavy - lift ships play a crucial role in global trade and infrastructure development, facilitating the transportation of components for large - scale industrial projects, oil and gas installations, and other essential heavy - duty cargoes across the oceans.
