Definition<\/a>: “In modern parlance a ship<\/b> has been any large buoyant<\/a> watercraft<\/a>. Ships are generally distinguished from boats<\/a> based on size, shape and cargo<\/a> or passenger capacity. Ships are used on lakes<\/a>, seas<\/a>, and rivers<\/a> for a variety of activities, such as the transport of people<\/a> or goods<\/a>, fishing<\/a>, entertainment<\/a>, public safety<\/a>, and warfare<\/a>. Historically, a “ship” was a sailing vessel<\/a> with at least three square-rigged<\/a> masts and a full bowsprit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ships and boats have developed alongside humanity. In armed conflict and in daily life they have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for combat and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4\u00a0billion tons of cargo in 2007.[1]<\/a><\/sup> As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO<\/a> numbers in the world.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Ships were always a key in history’s great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He<\/a> spread such inventions as the compass<\/a> and gunpowder<\/a>. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization<\/a> and the slave trade<\/a>, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. After the 16th century, new crops<\/a> that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to the world’s population growth.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Maritime transport has shaped the world’s economy into today’s energy-intensive pattern.” (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n Tall ship<\/p>\n airship<\/p>\n The Student Health Insurance Plan<\/em> is a comprehensive major medical insurance plan, providing medical, counseling, prescription, vision and dental services.
