Bulk cargo refers to independent goods that cannot fit into standard containers and require various transportation methods, often involving longer handling times. Unlike regular bulk, these goods need to be loaded and unloaded separately using specialized equipment. They are crucial in the construction and manufacturing industries, but their transportation is complex and can lead to increased costs.
Since 2016, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) has introduced the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) regulations, requiring shippers to provide VGM information before loading containers. This ensures the safety and compliance of container transportation. Neglecting this requirement may result in containers being unable to be loaded onto ships, impacting the transport of goods.
