Ore-bulk-oil carrier
As their name suggests, ore-bulk-oil carriers, also known as combination carriers, are designed to be capable of carrying wet or dry cargoes. The idea is to reduce the number of empty ("ballast") voyages, in which large ships only carry a cargo one way and return empty for another.
