Some bulk carrier stay at port for as long as a month. You can buy a local sim card and enjoy talking to your loved ones more often. Many sailing on tankers go back to dry vessels to get promotion and then later on come back to tankers. A top level officer on tanker ship roughly earns more than 1.
As amount of work is more at ports, many seafarers prefer long sailing voyage with less number of ports. When you compare the seafarer contract of a tanker ship to a container ship, the crew working on a container ship will have more access to ports and hence there would be more spending of money.

I was seriously injured in an accident and it left me a lengthy scar on my arm which may be around 5cm wide and 12 cms long. Will this diqualify me in medical test? Author must give a thought to revise it with completeness. As per my opinion,the best option is container ship with long voyage,no frequent ports so that port work becomes less.. The most prominent options for powering a ship without fossil fuels include hydrogen, batteries, sustainably produced biofuels, and wind-assisted technologies that can reduce fuel use.
All of these are being used or tested in small-scale vessels—primarily passenger ferries or supply boats that keep close to shore. The IMO would likely oversee such a program, and it plans to adopt an interim strategy for reducing greenhouse gases caused by shipping in April The IMO is made up of member countries. Take as proof the latest round of IMO talks in October, which included discussion of slashing carbon emissions by A group of Pacific island and European nations pushed for drastic cuts by mid-century, while Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil, and the International Chamber of Shipping proposed a far less aggressive approach.
But one shipping executive—Andrew Craig-Bennett, who works for the UK subsidiary of Chinese shipping giant Cosco—stirred the pot even further in a widely shared opinion piece.

Slow steaming knots; Running ship engines below capacity to save fuel consumption but at the expense of an additional travel time, particularly over long distances compounding effect.
Extra slow steaming knots; Also known as super slow steaming or economical speed. A substantial decline in speed to achieve a minimal fuel consumption level while still maintaining a commercial service. It can be applied to specific short-distance routes.
Minimal cost knots; Slow steaming decreases the amount of fuel consumption on each voyage. But the trade-off is that carriers need to increase the number or size of ships on a particular route to maintain schedules.
