Crossword Genius

Ship's container (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vessel

I believe this is a double definition.

'ship's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'container' is the second definition.
(vessel is a kind of container)

(Other definitions for vessel that I've seen before include "Large boat; container" , "Ship, or artery" , "bowl?" , "Watercraft or water container" , "one swimming in blood?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
