Vessel with greenish fluid in hand on top of palm (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passenger ship

'vessel' is the definition.
(I know that passenger ship is a type of vessel)

'greenish fluid in hand on top of palm' is the wordplay.
'fluid' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hand' becomes 'pass' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'top of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'palm' is 'p'.
'greenish' anagrammed gives 'engershi'.
'pass'+'p'='passp'
'engershi' inserted within 'passp' is 'PASSENGER SHIP'.

'with' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
