The utility model relates to a novel ship for transporting asphalt, which belongs to the manufacturing technical field of the ship. A transporting ship comprises a ship body, and a cargo space is arranged below a ship body deck, and the cargo space is provided with one or more independent liquid cargo compartments, and a heating heat preservation system is arranged inside the independent liquid cargo compartment, and the independent liquid cargo compartment is arranged on a double-layer bottom inside the cargo space and is supported and fixed by the bottom end, and the outer surface of the independent liquid cargo compartment is provided with a heat insulation cladding layer, and the middle longitudinal part on the top part of the independent liquid cargo compartment is provided with a tilt preventing pile, and both sides of the independent liquid cargo compartment are provided with a float preventing pile. By adopting the independent liquid cargo compartments, the liquid cargo compartments are free from being directly contacted with the ship body structure, so that the mechanical performance of the ship body is free from reduction because of the temperature variation of the asphalt and from causing the stress variation of the ship body to lead to the deformation of the ship body; the independent liquid cargo compartments can be integrally provided with a heat preservation layer, and the support structure between the liquid cargo compartments and the ship body also adopts the heat insulation support, thereby reducing the consumption of the heat; the liquid cargo compartments with the independent structure can be independently constructed and then can be integrally loaded into the cargo space, thereby being convenient to construct, and shortening the construction period.
