Ship-Around splits public product discovery into two main page types:
  1. Leaf category pages (product archives)—a filtered grid of every listing attached to the deepest category in the shop tree.
  2. Single product pages—the full detail page for one parent product (simple or variable), including variations, documents, and vendor actions.
Both sit alongside the main Shop entry. Mega-menu links jump straight to /categories/... leaves; the last child of each branch is the URL that actually lists products in a grid.

How the catalogue is organized

The shop structure follows the maritime procurement breakdown used to set up the platform. Everything is grouped in layers so buyers can move from broad areas down to the exact kind of product they need:
  • Ten major areas span ship supply and outfitting: deck, mooring and fenders; cargo handling; machinery and fluid systems; electrical and automation; safety and life-saving; security; heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and thermal; accommodation; chemicals and consumables; and tools and workshop. Each area is a chapter of the catalogue, not a product listing by itself.
  • Within each area you find product families—groupings like fenders, anchors, pumps, or life rafts—that gather related equipment or supplies together.
  • Within each family you find more specific types (variations of the family), such as pneumatic fenders under fenders or ball valves under valves. This is the level where the product grid lives: listings are attached to these most specific categories, and filters apply there.
Some families also include a misc bucket alongside the named types, so items that belong to the family but do not match a named subtype can still be listed.
