What is the difference between ship and vessel?

Answer 1

A boat has only one deck or "level". A yacht has 2 decks and a ship has 4 or more.

AnswerThere is no difference between a ship and a boat, except for semantics. That is, what we call a ship and what we call a boat are completely culturally-based, and have no real objective criteria. In general, boats are smaller than ships, but, even there, there are exceptions (e.g. 10,000 ton submarines are referred to as "boats" in most English-speaking navies). Ships almost always have a minimum of one enclosed desk, but there are many boats which have one or more enclosed desks, too. It's a matter of tradition as to what watercraft is labeled which, and it makes no sense to try to figure it out.

Answer 2

First is the spelling :)

next is that a ship can be a vessel but

a vessel cannot always be a ship.

a vessel is the one that carry something or someone. for example a bottle can be a vessel that carry water, juice, or oil. A good example of vessel is "barge". Vessel can be a ship in the situation that it complies with certain regulations the administration and the port state control provided that categorize it as a "ship".

A ship on the other hand complies with this rules and regulation as designed by the naval architect and it is also a vessel because it have the ability to carry like our example the "bottle".
