bulk cargo

Bulk cargo refers to large quantities of unpackaged goods transported in bulk, typically by ships, trucks, or trains. This includes materials like coal, grain, minerals, and liquids, which are loaded and unloaded directly into the transport vessel without individual packaging. Bulk cargo is often measured by weight or volume and is key to global trade, facilitating the movement of raw materials essential for manufacturing and energy production. It differs from containerized cargo, which is transported in standardized containers for easier handling and protection.
