What type of bottom construction is used on most commercial deep-draft vessels with the exception of tankers?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bottom construction types on seagoing ships (single bottom, double bottom, double hull, triple bottom) • Typical construction of general cargo / container / bulk carrier deep‑draft vessels • How tanker construction (double hull) differs from other merchant ships

💭 Think About

• Which type of bottom construction is required by pollution‑prevention rules mainly for tankers and oil‑carrying ships? • If tankers are usually built one way, what is the common, simpler construction used on most other deep‑draft commercial vessels? • Among the choices, which construction type is most standard and widespread on non‑tanker cargo ships?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between double hull (sides + bottom) and double bottom (bottom only). • Ask: Which option is specifically associated with tankers by regulation? Eliminate that for ‘other commercial vessels’. • Consider ship types you know (container ships, bulk carriers): what bottom construction do they typically have in practice?
