They are all called cargo ships.

If they carry a special kind of cargo, then they are sub-categorized into

Oil:

VLCC = Very Large Crude Carrier

ULCC = Ultra Large Crude Carrier

Transporters/Ferries:

RO-RO = Roll On, Roll Off

Other categories:

Bulk Carriers

Container ships

Oil Tankers

Gas Tankers
