D162 Vessel vs Propulsion Types Compared

What is the difference between d162 vessel type and propulsion type?

Understanding Vessel Type and Propulsion Type

When dealing with maritime vessels, it is important to understand the difference between vessel type and propulsion type.

Vessel Type

The vessel type refers to the classification of the vessel. This can include categories such as refrigerated vessels, tankers, cargo ships, passenger ships, etc. Knowing the vessel type helps in understanding the purpose and function of the ship.

Propulsion Type

On the other hand, propulsion type refers to how the vessel is powered. Common propulsion types include diesel engines, electric motors, steam turbines, etc. Understanding the propulsion type gives insight into how a vessel operates and its efficiency.
