dry bulk shipping

Dry bulk shipping involves transporting large quantities of unpackaged bulk commodities, such as coal, iron ore, grains, or cement, using specialized ships called bulk carriers. These ships are designed with spacious cargo holds to efficiently load, transport, and unload raw materials without packaging. This mode of shipping is crucial for global trade, enabling the movement of essential raw materials between countries and industries. Dry bulk shipping operates on competitive markets, with freight rates influenced by factors like demand, supply, and global economic conditions. It plays a vital role in supporting manufacturing, energy production, and food supply chains worldwide.
