Merchant Vessel
A merchant ship, merchant vessel, trading vessel, or merchantman is a watercraft that transports cargo or carries passengers for hire. This is in contrast to pleasure craft, which are used for personal recreation, and naval ships, which are used for military purposes. They come in myriad sizes and shapes, from inflatable dive boats in Hawaii, to 5,000-passenger casino vessels on the Mississippi River, to tugboats plying New York Harbor, to oil tankers and container ships at major ports, to passenger-carrying submarines in the Caribbean. Many merchant ships operate under a " flag of convenience" from a country other than the home of the vessel's owners, such as Liberia and Panama, which have more favorable maritime laws than other countries. The Greek merchant marine is the largest in the world. Today, the Greek fleet accounts for some 16 per cent of the world's tonnage; this makes it currently the largest single international merchant fleet in the world, albeit not t ...

Traders (TV Series)
''Traders'' is a Canadian television drama series, which was broadcast on Global Television Network from 1996 to 2000 and CBC Television from 1997 to 1998. The series centred on the employees of Gardner Ross, an investment bank in the Bay Street financial district of Toronto, Ontario. Series overview Although Global had locked up most of NBC's " Must See Thursday" situation comedies for their Thursday night broadcasts, they lost the rights to broadcast the medical drama '' ER'' to rival CTV. ''Traders'' was broadcast against ''ER'' in the 10 p.m. Thursday time slot. Many critics at the time believed the show would die an early death against the time slot competition, as ''ER'' had even beaten the other American networks in the time slot in a convincing manner. However, despite the stiff competition, ''Traders'' received good ratings, in part thanks to its lead-ins. Bruce Gray and Sonja Smits starred as the firm's senior partners, Adam Cunningham and Sally Ross. The cast also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
