In dry cargo ships the cargo space is divided into holds, in liquid cargo ships it is divided2into tanks. At the fore end of the hull are the fore peak

46、tanks and the after end are the after peak tanks. They are used for fresh water and water ballast. The space between the holds and the bottom of the hull contains double bottom tanks.
