BULK & BREAK BULK
BULK
The term BULK relates to trades where dry cargo such as Phosphate, Alumina, Coal, Grain, and Iron ore are carried in loose form. This means that the cargo is not packed in boxes or on pallets and is loaded directly in the hold of a ship. By providing best in class services for Bulk Shipment, ZM Shipping is recognized as a vibrant Bulk cargo Handler. The ships that carry bulk cargo such as these are known as Bulkers, Ore Carriers or Bulk Carriers and can be grouped on the basis of their Deadweight (DWT). The DWT refers to the weight that a ship can comfortably and safely carry – this includes the weight of the fuel, stores, the crew, the water, ballast and so on. If the total weight goes over the DWT certified by the ship manufacturer, then the ship is in danger of incurring damage or even sinking. Bulk carriers can have different cargo holds under the single deck. This is so that cargo may be loaded and carried as a single shipment with cargo in the all holds for one customer, or multiple shipments with different cargo in separate holds for more than one customer.
