Combination passenger freighters carry significant amounts of cargo
and a few hundred passengers. These are common in the Verge where the
number of passengers is low, but is higher than the dozen or so that
can be carried on a regular freighter. These are similar to the ships
in the 20th century Pacific trade prior to the introduction of the
jumbo jet. Not enough passengers to have a large dedicated passenger
ship, to many passengers to all use tramp freighters, and not enough
cargo to have just a cargo vessel.
