In the old Vessels API, it was only possible to filter only on the general AIS ship_type values Tanker or Cargo.  Maritime 2.0 graphQL allows filtering on specific commercial ship types instead. 

If you want to receive the equivalent filter results as were provided in Vessels API then 

the equivalent filters in Maritime 2.0 for Cargo and Tanker are shown below 

Filter for Cargo Vessels

use this filter in Maritime 2.0

shipType:[CAR_CARRIER,COMBINATION_CARRIER,CONTAINER,DRY_BULK,GENERAL_CARGO,LIVESTOCK,REEFER,ROLL_ON_ROLL_OFF] 

Filter for tanker vessels

use this filter in Maritime 2.0

shipType:[GAS_CARRIER,GENERAL_TANKER,LNG_CARRIER,TANKER_CHEMICALS,TANKER_CRUDE,TANKER_PRODUCT]

Filter for the Merchant Fleet

use this filter in Maritime 2.0

shipType:[CAR_CARRIER,COMBINATION_CARRIER,CONTAINER,DRY_BULK,GENERAL_CARGO,LIVESTOCK,REEFER,ROLL_ON_ROLL_OFF,VEHICLE_PASSENGER,GAS_CARRIER,GENERAL_TANKER,LNG_CARRIER,TANKER_CHEMICALS,TANKER_CRUDE,TANKER_PRODUCT]
