A quick definition of general ship:
A ship is a type of vessel used for navigation. A general ship is a ship that is available for a particular voyage to carry the goods of anyone who wants to ship goods on it for that voyage. A chartered ship is a ship that is specially hired to transport the goods of only one person or company, or a ship on which a shipper has chartered space for a cargo. To ship means to send goods, documents, or other items from one place to another, usually by giving them to a carrier for transportation.
A more thorough explanation:
A general ship is a type of vessel that is used for navigation. It is available for anyone to use to transport their goods for a particular voyage.
- Chartered Ship: A ship that is hired by only one person or company to transport their goods.
- General Ship: A ship that is available for anyone to use to transport their goods for a particular voyage.
For example, if a company wants to transport their goods from one place to another, they can hire a chartered ship to do so. However, if they only have a small amount of goods to transport, they can use a general ship and share the space with other people who also want to transport their goods.
Another example is if a farmer wants to transport their crops to a different city, they can use a general ship to do so. They don't need to hire a whole ship just for their crops, they can share the space with other farmers who also want to transport their crops.
