How it's used
Focuses on the technical or formal act of moving goods or people via a vehicle or vessel. It sounds significantly more professional and objective than the everyday verb 載, which is usually reserved for giving someone a ride or carrying something small.
Examples
What kind of passengers has this ship carried?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe giving a friend a ride in a car, as it implies a commercial or industrial scale of transport rather than a personal favor.
