Bulk Containers

BULK containers are standardized marine special containers designed for storage and multimodal transportation of bulk and dry loose cargo without additional packaging.

BULK containers are most commonly used as grain containers. In addition, they can be used to transport and store other bulk cargoes, including sugar, compound feed, soil, fertilizers, peat, sand, crushed stone, gravel, polymer granules, and spices.

BULK container: design features

The BULK container for bulk cargo is made of high-strength steel and complies with international ISO standards. The reinforced frame is designed for significant loads that occur during the transportation of bulk materials. The design of BULK containers includes special upper loading hatches and lower unloading sections.

Special BULK containers: advantages

BULK containers are widely used in the agricultural, chemical, construction, and food industries due to:

• fast and convenient loading/unloading of products in bulk;
• standard fittings and dimensions of the container block;
• high tightness and protection of cargo from moisture and contamination;
• the ability to transport by different modes of transport without reloading the contents;
• long service life with timely maintenance.

A BULK container can be used as universal packaging, that is, like a regular dry cargo marine container. After decommissioning, the container can be converted into a warehouse or technical room.
