Yrkesfartyg

Yrkesfartyg is a Swedish term that translates to "merchant ship" or "work vessel." It encompasses a broad category of watercraft designed and operated for commercial purposes. This includes a wide array of vessels used in maritime transport, fishing, construction, and other industries.

The primary function of a yrkesfartyg is to generate income through the transportation of goods, passengers, or by performing specific services at sea. Vessels within this category are built to stringent safety and operational standards, reflecting their critical role in global trade and various maritime industries.

Examples of yrkesfartyg include cargo ships of all sizes, from small coastal freighters to large container vessels and tankers. Fishing vessels, such as trawlers and seiners, are also considered yrkesfartyg, as are ferries, tugboats, offshore supply vessels, and specialized craft used for activities like dredging or underwater construction. The design and equipment of each yrkesfartyg are tailored to its specific operational requirements, ensuring efficiency and safety in its intended role.
