Dry Bulk Shipping
Focus on Professional and Efficient International Shipping Services
DRY BULK CARGOES
Dry bulk cargo encompasses a wide variety of materials that are typically transported in large, loose quantities. These cargoes are usually loaded onto the the vessel using mechanisms such as grabs and include items such as grains, minerals, steel, and pellets. After each shipment, the cargo hold undergoes a thorough and rigorous cleaning process to remove any residue and ensure that they are completely sanitized and free of any contaminants, making them fully prepared for accommodating the next type of cargo.
KGE offers specialised knowledge and assistance in relation to the safe handling of commodities carried. Below you can see a list of our typical dry bulk cargoes:
