Explication
A tramp ship is a type of cargo ship that operates on the tramp trade. Tramp ships do not have fixed routes or schedules like liners. Instead, they move from port to port based on market demand and available cargoes. Tramp ships are typically chartered by cargo owners or shipping agents for transporting goods on an ad-hoc basis. They provide flexible transportation options for various types of cargo and destinations.
