Bulk cargo refers to large quantities of goods that are transported without packaging. This type of cargo is typically loaded directly into the hold of a ship, truck, or train. Common examples include grains, coal, and iron ore. Bulk cargo can be divided into two main categories: dry bulk, which includes items like sand and fertilizers, and liquid bulk, which encompasses liquids such as oil and chemicals. Transporting bulk cargo is efficient and cost-effective, as it maximizes space and minimizes handling. Specialized vessels, known as bulk carriers, are designed to carry these goods safely. Proper management and logistics are essential to ensure that bulk cargo is loaded, transported, and unloaded efficiently.
