Bulk cargo is used for a term used for items that are loose and unpackaged. Bulk cargo transportation is usually more cost-effective compared to transporting packaged goods because it avoids the need for individual packaging and handling.
Grain, a fundamental agricultural bulk commodity, finds its efficient route to market through barge shipping, a mode of transportation that caters to its unique characteristics. Barge shipping offers a smart solution for bulk transport, allowing substantial quantities of grain to move in a single haul.
Oil and gas, as vital energy resources, are major bulk commodities frequently transported via barge shipping, ensuring efficient supply to global markets. Barge shipping proves advantageous due to its capacity to handle large volumes of liquid cargo in a single journey, contributing to economies of scale and cost-effectiveness.
