What is Bulk Container Cargo?

Bulk cargo consists of tiny particles, granules, powders, or pieces that can be loaded and unloaded in a mass. This includes things like grains, mineral fertilizers, sand, cement, chemical raw materials, granulated polymers, and more. We often use specialized containers—Bulk Containers (made for this purpose) or standard containers fitted with liner bags.

Key Features of Bulk Cargo Delivery in Russian Ports:

1. Specialized Gear: You need specific equipment for loading/unloading bulk cargo (like screw loaders, pneumatic systems, or grapples) at both the warehouse and the port.

2. Liner Bags: To protect the cargo from contamination, moisture, prevent spillage, and make unloading easier, we install special polymer liners (liner bags) inside standard containers.

3. Microclimate Control: Some bulk goods are sensitive to moisture and need us to monitor the climate inside the container.

4. Weight Limits: Strict adherence to permissible weight limits for containers, especially in multimodal transport.

5. Health & Plant Rules: Food, agricultural, and some other bulk goods require strict cleanliness for containers and the need to get phytosanitary or veterinary certificates.

6. Port Handling: Not all port terminals have the right equipment to handle bulk cargo in containers. Choosing the right port and terminal is crucial.
