Talk:Cargo ship

message: There is a redirect from M/V to this article, which I followed from New Carissa to see what it meant.  This article doesn't obviously mention M/V, and the ship prefix article is a bit murky.  Does M/V mean motor vessel, marine vessel, or merchant vessel?  —EncMstr 18:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey! I came here to ask the same thing! If M/V redirects here, the article needs to explain it. What does M/V stand for? Kingturtle (talk) 01:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  M/V or MV stands for motor vessel. Just as SS stands for steam ship. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 16:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I can't find references, but I know that ships switch between different types of fuel depending on laws and distance from the coast, precisely to limit environmental impact. This information should be added to the Pollution section, or to the Fuel oil article (in section 6 Environmental issues, there is indeed a reference to territorial waters). MARPOL makes reference to this changeover procedure.

I've added the relevant related articles

message: The section on ship prefixes seems irrelevant. If no one objects I'll remove it in ~7 days. I also added a link to the main article in there today. When I delete said section I'll add said article to the "See Also" section. Best regards, --5cardz (talk) 14:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
