ship sizes (?)
The query is from a PowerPoint presentation (as usual without more context for clarification):
Slide header: Transportation Footprint 2008
Bullet points on slide:
Physical Volume - x million tons /year
Active in both dry and liquid segments
All sizes from Cape, Coasters to individual Parcels
What are parcels? I would assume this is defining the size of a certain ship. My researched came up with "Cape" = "Kapgröße", "coaster" = Kümo/Küsten(motor)schiff... but I haven't managed to identify the "parcel" bit.
With thanks.

Comment: "Thanks, Ingeborg (and all other contributors). In the absence of further context, I go with this suggestion. Having checked with my client a couple of days after posting my original query, the response was: "parcel" - it means the customer can buy space on a ship for just a small portion of the whole shipment - eg 5000mt in a 75000 mt ship. (Which is in line with David Moore's comment.)"
