What are bulk carrier (bulk) shipments?

Bulk carrier (or “bulk”) shipments refer to sea freight by specialized bulk‑carrier vessels designed to transport bulk and loose cargo—from sand and coal to grains and ore. Their special construction, with multiple isolated holds and systems for mechanical loading and unloading, allows different types of cargo to be carried simultaneously while strictly maintaining moisture and temperature conditions.

In the context of the port of Novorossiysk, these operations are especially efficient thanks to advanced terminal infrastructure that supports rapid handling of large‑volume cargoes.

Sea transport of bulk, loose and roll‑on cargo by bulk carriers from Novorossiysk includes grains (wheat, maize, barley) with accurate climate control in the holds.

Frequent cargo categories are construction materials such as sand, gravel, and cement, as well as energy commodities like coal and coke for industry.

“BSF” arranges sea bulk carrier shipments of chemicals, agro‑fertilizers, biofuels and similar cargoes, eliminating cross‑contamination through strict segregation. We specialize in the delivery of timber, metal ingots, industrial equipment, carbon black and many other bulk and project cargoes.
