Bulk, Tanker and Container Shipping Modes

Containerization, also referred as container stuffing or container loading, is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers.

A bulk carrier or bulker is a merchant ship specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo, typically grain, coal, ore, forest products, steel coils, or cement, in its cargo holds.

An oil tanker, also known as a petroleum tanker, is a ship designed for the bulk transport of oil or its products.

Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are cargo ships designed specifically to transport wheeled cargo, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, buses, trailers and railroad cars, which are moved directly onto and off the ship by their own wheels or on a platform vehicle such as a self-propelled modular transporter.
