This paper presents a morphology classification catalog of spiral and ringfeatures of 59,854 magnitude-limited galaxies ($r<17.8$ mag, and additional628,005 subsamples down to $r=20$ mag) at $z=0.01-0.3$ based on the ThirdPublic Data Release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. Weemploy two deep learning classifiers to determine the spiral and ringstructures separately based on GALAXY CRUISE Data Release 1, which is dedicatedto Hyper Suprime-Cam data. The number of spiral and ring galaxies contain31,864 and 8,808 sources, respectively, which constitute 53\% and 15\% of thesample. A notable result of this study is the construction of a large sample ofring galaxies utilizing high-quality imaging data delivered by the Subaru HyperSuprime-Cam. However, the accurate identification of ring galaxies remainsdifficult at a limited seeing resolution. Additionally, we confirm that mostspiral galaxies are located on the star-forming main sequence, whereas ringgalaxies preferentially reside in the green valley at stellar mass of$10^{10.5}-10^{11}$ solar mass. Furthermore, decreasing fractions of spiral andring galaxies are observed toward the centers of the galaxy clusters. Theobtained morphology catalog is publicly available on the GALAXY CRUISE website.
