Ocean Liner
Cargo Liners, Ocean Liners
Ocean liners are ships designed to transport people from one seaport to another. They follow a regular long distance maritime route and a fixed schedule. Liners are sometimes used for other purposes and also to carry cargo or mail. Even those cargo vessels running to a schedule are referred to as liners. Voyage dedicated cruise ships where transportation is not the primary purpose, or ferries and other vessels that indulge in short sea trading do not fit the category. Tramp streamers with equipment for a limited number of passengers are not considered as ocean liners. Container ships that often operate over set routes according to schedules are also referred to as liners and the shipping companies that own these vessels are known as lines.
Ocean liners are usually built strongly with a high freeboard to withstand rough rear and adverse conditions encountered in the open ocean. There liners have large capacities for fuel, victuals and other stores for consumption on long voyages.For over a century Ocean liners were used as the major mode of intercontinental travel untill they began to be supplanted by airliners. Liners were the most preferred way to note gold and other high value cargoes.
With ships travelling between Europe and North America, the busiest route for liners was on the North Atlantic. The largest and most advanced liners travelled on these routes. Other common terms used interchangeably with ocean liners are passenger liner, cargo liner or cargo passenger liners. Modern day usage of the term is to refer to a ship that is constructed to a higher standard than a normal cruise ship, that may not be able to embark in inclement conditions to cross oceans such as the Atlantic and Pacific.
True ocean liner characteristics include heavier plating, robust scantlings, powerful engines and high freeboard making them for seaworthy than vessels designed for short real routes or cruises in protected waters. Initial inefficiency and disadvantages overt sailing ships was the appearence of steam engines in ships. Unlike the clippers, streamers offered consistent speed and the ability to keep to a schedule. Early ocean liners had sails as well as the engines to supplement the inefficient consumption of fuel.
The golden age of ocean liners was considered as the period post the end of World War II, driven by the strong demand created by international competition between passenger lines.

what are the inside dimension of a shipping container like you see on an ocean liner?
I want to send two loader/backhoes overseas and need to know the inside dimensions of a container
There are three "typical" container sizes.
A 1 TEU (twenty-foot Equivalent unit) is 20' long x 8' wide x 8' 6" high. The internal dimensions are approximately 19' 4" x 7' 8" x 7' 10"
There are also 40' units - 40' x 8' x 8' 6" - internally 39' 5" x 7' 8" x 7' 10"
And there are 40' hi-cube containers 40' x 8' x 9' 6" - internally 39' 5" x 7' 8" x 8' 10"
The internal dimensions are approximate. (give or take an inch or so, and may vary slightly depending on the container.)
You may be weight limited (as opposed to volume limited.)
In exporting, it is common to encounter a payload of 17,500 kgs. or less in the 20' container, and 24,000 kgs. or less in the 40' container.
The website linked below has some good (basic) info.
For specific data you'll probably want to contact the company you'll be using to ship your equipment. They will likely want to "suggest" what type of shipping arrangement you should use. They should also be familiar with the customs forms you'll need to deal with to export your heavy machinery.
