APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 55

Which of the following ships are specifically designed to carry ISO shipping containers?

Answer options

• A. Break-bulk freighter
• B. Roll-om/roll-off (RORO) vessel
• C. Dry-bulk freighter
• D. Cellular vessel

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is D, as cellular vessels are specifically constructed to accommodate ISO shipping containers with designated cells for optimal stacking and stability. In contrast, break-bulk freighters, roll-on/roll-off vessels, and dry-bulk freighters are designed for different types of cargo and do not specialize in containerization.
