Bulk cargo & ship chartering
Transportation of bulk, break-bulk, project and heavy cargo, military equipment and other non-standard cargoes that are too big or too heavy for a container (NCL – Non Container Load). Vessel chartering and forwarding ship cargo lots.
General cargo includes break bulk, which refers to goods transported in drums, bags, pallets, and boxes; neon bulk, which includes lumber and paper; and containerized cargo, which refers to any type of cargo that may be transported in a container unit. For general bulk transportation, geared, RoRo, or standard vessels are typically used. Bulk cargo is further divided into liquid bulk – which includes vegetal oil, chemicals, and LNG (liquified natural gas) – and dry bulk, which includes coal, iron, grain, and sand. Liquid bulk vessels are classified as tanks and are equipped with pumps and pipelines for the purpose of transporting the cargo. Dry bulk vessels are typically equipped with grab and suction conveyors. If you’d like to learn more about vessel types, click the button below.

In some regions of short-sea navigation, general cargo transportation by vessels has lost its relevance due to its laboriousness, and container transportation has come to replace it, which in this case often turns out to be even cheaper than ship lots.
Nevertheless, when the volume of the cargo exceeds 2,000 tons, the carriage in bulk again acquires its relevance, but for its implementation it is necessary to have a special qualification. Not to mention lots of over 50,000 tons (Supramax vessels type), 70,000 tons (Panamax type) and 100,000 tons (Capesize type).
Bulk and Break Bulk are two terms that are being used incorrectly and interchangeably in the course of day to day business..
These terms cannot be used interchangeably because there are distinctive differences between Bulk and Break Bulk in terms of cargo, nature, size, capacity, handling, trade, customers, ports, terminals, equipment, infrastructure
In the below article, I have explained the differences between Bulk and Break Bulk, differences in their operations, how the handling differs in both and differences in ships for both of these two cargo types
