Bulk cargo (Type of Cargo)

Bulk cargo

Bulk cargo is cargo that is unpacked (un-bundled or un-bound) and is of the same or a similar kind or nature (homogeneous). These cargos are usually dropped or poured, with a spout or shovel bucket, as a liquid or solid, into a bulk carrier's hold, railroad car, or truck/trailer/semi-trailer body. Bulk cargos are classified as liquid or dry. Virtually all liquids transported by sea - such as crude oil and finished petroleum products - are carried in bulk, and tankers now form by far the greatest percentage of the world fleet of merchant ships. The second biggest group consists of solid bulk cargo carriers. The goods carried in this way include coal, grains, ores, concentrates, fertilizers and animal feeds. From the shippers' point of view bulk carriage has numerous advantages. A bulk cargo can be loaded and unloaded far more quickly than one that is unitized, thereby leading to great savings in time and money
