A "large vessel" typically refers to a significant watercraft designed for transporting goods or passengers across oceans and seas. These vessels can include cargo ships, tankers, and cruise ships, which are built to withstand harsh marine conditions and carry substantial loads. In maritime terminology, large vessels are often classified based on their size, purpose, and design. For example, cargo ships are specifically designed to carry bulk goods, while cruise ships focus on providing leisure experiences for travelers. The construction and operation of these vessels are governed by international regulations to ensure safety and environmental protection.
