Bulk Shipment Service

Bulk shipment means the form of organization engaged in the shipment of bulk by sea. The focus of the definition differs from that of irregular ship transportations (or chartered ship transportations). The former is based on the form and quantity of the transported goods, the latter is based on the different forms of organization of ship transportation time and space. Both also have similarities, bulk shipment are usually organized in the form of transportation by irregular vessels.

Bulk Shipment Definition

Bulk shipments refers to the transportation of products in large quantities, usually without packaging, but directly on board the ship. Therefore, these goods are transported without any protective packaging, and the cargo hold of the ship that carries these goods usually acts as a container. So bulk cargoes are divided into two categories, one for break bulk cargoes and the other for containerized bulk cargoes.

Bulk Shipment Strategy

The strategy of bulk shipment is almost the same for imported or exported bulk cargoes. Usually, the main bulk shipment procedures are: unloading, storage and loading. When the imported bulk cargo arrives at the designated port, it is unloaded and transported to the bulk cargo warehouse at the port for subsequent arrangement of packing and inland transportation.
