An Actuaria is a small merchant vessel, larger than a standard Ferry, used for mainly inter-kingdom trade.

Actuaria in the real-world were many-oared vessels, often powered by 30 or more rowers, with a sail as an ancillary mode of locomotion. The Merebian version is a smaller vessel that has a combination of oars and sails, using the latter in preference. It more closely resembles a Portuguese caravel in appearance. An actuaria has a tonnage of about 100 tons.
