Bulk carrier ships are widely used to transport goods which are in bulk quantities. The cargo in such ships is loose without any specific packaging. Thus, it commonly transports goods like, ores, coal, grains, cement, to name a few. In addition to dry cargo, bulk carrier ships are also used carry liquefied cargoes, such as petrol, oil, or some liquid chemical substances.

Carrier ships are the integral link between the production and its consumption all across the globe. It thus plays very crucial part in connecting global economy. It has been estimated that almost 80% of global goods gets transported across oceans via ships. Though air freight is less time consuming, but the cost associated with it is too high in comparison to carrier ships. Further, carrier shipping allows heavy loads, as well as hazardous materials which brings flexibility in transportation driving the market for cargo ships.
