Bulk dry cargo is considered to be one of the most time-consuming and complex type of cargos. This type of cargo includes a vast diversity of bulk dry goods shipped without cargo containers, directly in the car body, railcar, containers and etc. 

Most typically these are raw materials of mineral and plant origin, as well as associated processed products: 

    • Corn and other cereal crops

    • Salt

    • Construction materials: cement, sand, rubble stone, clinker, crushed stone and other

    • Fertilizers: superphosphate, saltpetre, nitrogen, potassium etc

    • Natural resources (e.g., apatite, phosphate, coal)

    • Enriched ore

The transportation of such cargos may be carried out by means of various transport types:

    • By sea in dry cargo vessels,

    • By railway,

    • By load carrier vehicles,

    • By plane (very rarely).

There are many terms and regulations that should be followed for organization of transportation process. For instance, bulk dry cargo transportation by road should be implemented in accordance with preassigned speed limit.  Some types of cargo require protection from soaking, others may shrink, some get warm and have danger of spontaneous combustion. 

The freight forwarding company must have an experience and knowledge of all specifics of each type of transportation. You can rely on CHEMTRAILS TECH DMCC for this type of transportation, which is one of our main areas of expertise. We guarantee not only the advantageous tariffs, but also a full safety of your cargo.

Most bulk dry cargos have low value, hence logistics cost minimization is critical. Services on the transportation of bulk dry cargo by sea can be organized by CHEMTRAILS TECH DMCC in three ways:

    • In bulk aboard a ship.

    • In bulk in marine container. 

    • In big-bags. 

The last option is only suitable for small number of items with relatively high value (e.g., pellet), since loading/offloading activities are carried out with the use of manual labor and are very slow. This option is not efficient for large shipments. 

Large size shipments are transported by rail in bulk in hopper wagons or containers or by sea in specially designed ships.
