About Dry Bulk Shipping
International shipping plays a vital role in global trade given that 2/3 of
the world's goods are transported by sea. The shipping industry provides a
cost effective and practical means of transportation internationally of
large volumes of cargoes.
The dry bulk carrier market refers to the transportation of homogeneous
commodities in bulk. Dry bulk commodities are divided into two distinct
categories, major bulks and minor bulks. Major bulks include iron ore, coal
and grain, which are usually shipped on the larger size Capesize, Kamsarmax
and Panamax vessels and comprise about 67% of dry bulk trade.
