buque fletado Explanation: By contrast, the trampship is the taxi of the world's sealanes, with the shipper renting or chartering the whole vessel to take a cargo on a single voyage between two ports, or perhaps a series of voyages. Cargo liners these days tend to carry containers, and a liner operator might own many thousands of these , fleets of trucks and even trains, taking responsibility not just for the sea voyage, but for the whole journey. Trampships tend to carry bulk, liquid in the case of tankers, grain, ore, coal, timber or other industrial cargoes, in dry cargo ships. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-07-01 15:17:15 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://amchouston.home.att.net/Shipping.htm |

buque mercante (independiente) Explanation: A trampship is an idependent shipper usually sailing under a flag of convenience. However it is a cargo ship and sometimes accepts paying passengers usually for one way trips. Don't try to translate the term "tramp". |
