Common Sense And Classification Of Bulk Carrier Transportation

Bulk cargo ships should be prepared to receive bulk cargo transportation in advance. First, ensure that the transportation ship meets the transportation regulations of the characteristics of bulk cargo transportation, and at the same time have corresponding certificates, such as: solid bulk container qualification certificate, domestic shipping solid bulk container Standards, cargo handling in compliance with validated bulk grain, finished grain transport guidelines, typical working conditions.
Secondly, understand the corresponding routes, wharf ports, cargo types, familiar waters, ports, rivers, tides, floods, ocean proportions, etc. Before the domestic trade of bulk carriers, the shipowner should check, confirm and sign with the port loading and unloading party according to the cargo inspection report. Shanghai Communications Shipping, the carrier of the bulk carrier, provides the corresponding ship information to the port of transport before the ship arrives at the port, so that the port terminal can report the use of the port, and requires the port of transport to provide accurate information.
Determine the corresponding cargo handling and transportation requirements at the port of loading and unloading in advance. Know the sea conditions and weather information of the sailing and mooring sea areas in advance. Especially during periods of high typhoon incidence. Accurately grasp the type, total amount, characteristics of the transported goods and whether there are other special requirements.
Preparations before bulk carrier transportation, loading and unloading, and handling: Before bulk carrier transportation, main propulsion equipment and auxiliary equipment, main deck mechanical equipment, including mooring mechanical equipment, cables, cable winches, windlasses, and power switch cabins shall be guaranteed Mechanical equipment, working pressure drainage system, etc. are working normally.
Before the ship enters the port, the carpenter should discharge the waste water in the standard deep sea area, so that the cargo hold is in a moderate condition. The drains should be drained one by one as quickly as possible without impairing the actual operation of the ship and the work of the port. The third-tube engineer should accurately measure the inventory of fresh water tanks, bilge tanks, sewage ditches and fuel tanks, and make records. According to different transportation purposes, bulk carriers can be divided into different types, mainly as follows.
Ordinary bulk carrier
Ordinary bulk carriers are generally single-deck, stern-shaped, and the cross-section of the cargo hold is octagonal. Due to the single type of cargo to be transported, the requirements for the separation of the cabins are not high, and the proportions of various bulk cargoes vary greatly. If it is necessary to load heavy cargo, it should be loaded in separate compartments or arranged alternately between large and small compartments.
Dedicated bulk carrier
Special bulk carrier is a bulk carrier designed and built according to the special requirements of large-volume bulk cargo for marine transportation technology, mainly including coal carriers, bulk grain carriers, ore carriers and bulk cement carriers.
Combination bulk carrier
A dual-purpose bulk carrier is a ship with multiple shipping functions designed and built according to the special requirements of specific bulk or bulk cargo for marine transportation technology. Large hatch bulk carrier: the width of the cargo hatch of this type of ship reaches more than 70% of the ship's width, and is equipped with cargo lifting equipment, which can not only load bulk cargo, but also load wood, steel, rubber, mechanical equipment, newsprint, containers, etc.
