Bulk Shipping Services in Australia

Bulk Shipping

Most of Australia’s commodity exports are shipped as bulk cargo, which, along with breakbulk cargo, serve as two of the most commonly seen types of non-containerised cargo. It is the cornerstone of global trade, allowing the mass transportation of unpackaged raw materials and commodities. Because of the sheer volume and the unique characteristics and handling requirements of these goods, specialised methods of transportation and handling are usually required.

    TYPES OF BULK CARGO

    1.

    DRY BULK CARGO

    Dry bulk cargo refers to non-liquid, single commodity cargoes that are carried as one large parcel per ship. They are usually loaded into large holds via conveyor belt, and are discharged via suction, grabbers and bulldozers. Ships that carry such cargoes typically have large void spaces within the hull and are characterised by large flat hatches.

    Common examples of dry bulk cargo are agricultural products or mineral ores, like wheat, barley, iron ore, alumina and bauxite among others.

    Australia is a large shipper of the major dry bulk cargoes of iron ore, grain and coal, which form the vast majority of commodity exports from Australia to destinations mostly in Asia.

    2.

    WET BULK CARGO

    Wet bulk cargo refers to commodities that are liquid, are often homogeneous, and are carried in large tanks within ships. Load and discharge take place via cargo being pumped on and off ship via pipelines.

    Examples of wet bulk cargo include edible oils, liquefied petroleum gases, liquefied natural gas, refined products of oil and crude oil.

    Why Engage Bulk Shipping Services?

    Professional Expertise

    PROFESSIONAL
    EXPERTISE

    Bulk shipping requires a deep understanding of logistics, regulations, and specific cargo handling. Freight forwarders with professional expertise understand international shipping rules, tariffs, and environmental requirements, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of delays or fines. They also have extensive experience managing risks related to bulk shipping, providing peace of mind that your cargo will reach its destination safely and efficiently.

    Regulatory Compliance

    PROPER
    DOCUMENTATION

    International shipping involves intricate documentation, and bulk cargo is no exception. Freight forwarders assist in preparing the necessary paperwork, including declarations and labels, to avoid delays and penalties. This also extends to the acquisition of cargo insurance to secure appropriate coverage for potential damage or loss during transit.

    Global Coverage

    GLOBAL
    NETWORK

    A robust global network is key to bulk shipping, especially when dealing with international markets. Freight forwarders leverage their established relationships with shipping lines, ports and terminals, as well as local agents to facilitate the logistics process. This wide-reaching network reduces transit time, minimizes disruptions, and ensures reliable movement of goods on a global scale.

    Flexibility

    CUSTOMISED
    SOLUTIONS

    Every bulk shipment is unique, and one-size-fits-all solutions often don’t meet specific needs. Freight forwarders offer tailored  solutions to fit specific needs, including packaging, transport modes, and routing.
