Origin of the name Bulk Carrier

NEWS


Because of the dry bulk carriers of a single type of cargo, do not need to be packaged into bundles, packages, boxes of loading and transportation, not afraid of extrusion, easy to loading and unloading, so are single-deck ship. Total deadweight of more than 50,000 tons, generally not loaded with cargo equipment. As grains, coal and mineral ores, etc., the cumulative load factor (per ton of goods accounted for by the volume) varies greatly, the size of the required cargo hold volume, the structure of the hull, the layout and equipment and many other aspects are different. Therefore, it is generally customary to load only grain, coal and other goods with similar accumulation factor of the ship, known as bulk carrier, and loaded with smaller accumulation factor of ore and other goods of the ship, known as ore ship.

Bulk transportation of coal, mineral ore, salt, grain, cement and other bulk dry bulk cargo ships can be called dry bulk carriers, or simply bulk carriers. Because of the dry bulk carriers of a single type of cargo, do not need to be packaged into bundles, packages, boxes to load and transport, not afraid of extrusion, easy to load and unload, so are single-deck ship. Total deadweight of more than 50,000 tons, generally not loaded with cargo equipment. Due to grain, coal and ore, etc., the cumulative factor (per ton of goods accounted for by the volume) is very different, the size of the required hold volume, the structure of the hull, the arrangement and equipment, and many other aspects are different, so it is generally customary to load grain, coal and other goods cumulative factor of the ship, known as the bulk carrier, and loaded with cumulative factor of a smaller ore and other goods, known as the ship of the mineral sands.
