What Are The Advantages Of Container Ships And Bulk Carriers?

Advantages of container ships:
1. The pace is fast, running fast at 18~19 knots, with frequent port calls, and it is normal to call at ports in three to five days.
2. The development trend, the loading and unloading operation is fast, and the port takes about 10 hours, which is normal. It has good economic benefits, meets the requirements of modern express delivery, and has relatively many ships.
3. All items that can be packed in containers can be transported in containers. Containers come in a variety of sizes and can be stacked in deep holds or onboard throughout a cargo ship. The container shipping is sealed in advance, and all the goods are inside it, providing a safe way of overseas transportation. Goods vary from produce to furniture. Place temperature-sensitive goods in refrigerated containers. Some containers can be easily loaded on truck cars or rail cars to avoid wasted unloading time.
4. Large container ships, big brand ship owners, basically operate the current mainstream routes, rely on large wharfs and new wharfs, but are far away from the city, berthing with four or five cranes for loading and unloading at the same time, and berthing for more than ten hours.
5. Small containers, small and medium-sized shipowners, big mainline wharves can’t compete with big-name shipowners’ big ships, so they basically run on feeder lines, berthing mostly at old wharves and small wharves, close to urban areas, and short-to-medium term.
Advantages of bulk carriers:
1. The great advantage of bulk carriers is that the port time is extremely long, ranging from 4 to 5 days to half a month, the loading and unloading operations are slow, and the waiting time for cargo is long.
2. There are many types of goods that are not suitable for container transportation, such as bulk liquids, oils and liquefied gases, grains and desiccated coconuts, and more and more cars, bulk goods, timber, grains, cement, fertilizers, powders, ores, coal Wait.
3. The pace is fast, the speed is slow, there are few port calls, and the continuous sailing time is long, and the longest time is one month without docking.
