The bridge
aka pilot house, wheel house is where the ship is driven or piloted from. There you will usually find the ship's wheel and the other controls needed to navigate the ship.
There are several control rooms on a cargo ship. The bridge is in control of safely navigating the vessel. There will be an engine control room, called an ECR, EOS, or any of a number of abbreviation, and if the vessel is carrying liquid cargo, such as a oil tanker, there will also be a Cargo Control Room.

Cargo worthiness refers to a vessel’s suitability to safely carry specific types of cargo without risk of damage or deterioration during transit. It includes the condition of the ship’s structure, cargo holds, ventilation, cleanliness, and necessary equipment. A cargo-worthy vessel ensures cargo is protected against seawater, weather, contamination, or improper stowage. Verifying cargo worthiness is essential for legal compliance, insurance, and smooth cargo operations. For reliable cargo inspection and marine services, trust ProGlobal Marine. Their expert team ensures your vessel meets all cargo-worthiness standards with precision and professionalism, reducing risks and maximizing shipping efficiency.

The number of stops a cargo ship will make depends on how much cargo the ship has and how many places it has to deliver cargo.
Navy ships and Cruse ships have the bridge at the front as they have a large superstructure. Cargo vessels don't have a large superstructure, so the bridge is at the back also providing constant observation of the cargo. Ferries with short crossings some times have the bridge in the middle of the ship so they don't have to keep turning around wasting time and fuel. Hope this helps.

The Cargo must weigh less than the ship, and although heavy, ships are less dense than water.
