What is Bulk Cargo Services?
Bulk cargo refers to large volumes of goods transported in loose, unpackaged form — typically poured or scooped directly into the cargo space of a ship or a specialized container. Unlike containerized freight, bulk cargo is not boxed, palletized, or crated. Instead, it is handled in bulk, either dry or liquid, and shipped using specific vessels, such as bulk carriers, tankers, or breakbulk ships depending on the nature of the material.
Common examples of bulk cargo include:
-
Dry Bulk: grains, sugar, coal, cement, ores, fertilizers, and metals
-
Liquid Bulk: crude oil, chemicals, molasses, and industrial liquids
-
Breakbulk: heavy machinery, steel beams, timber, and other oversized loads
Because bulk cargo services is often heavy, irregular, or perishable, it requires advanced logistics planning, specialized port handling equipment, and precise documentation. This is where ISS Relocations stands out — with deep experience, trained personnel, and partnerships at key UAE ports like Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, we ensure safe, compliant, and efficient shipping for all types of bulk commodities.

Bulk Cargo Services from Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Beyond
Bulk cargo services refer to the specialized transportation of large volumes of unpackaged goods — typically shipped in bulk carriers, containers, or tanks. These goods are not individually boxed or palletized; instead, they are transported in large quantities, often loaded directly into a ship’s hold or a designated bulk container.
Understand the regulations and restrictions
To avoid any legal complications, it is necessary to research and comprehend the rules and regulations related to international Bulk Cargo Shipping before selecting bulk cargo or projects. Every country has distinct policies and regulations regarding the transportation of goods, so it is critical to adhere to them. It is also important to be aware of any restrictions on specific types of goods or materials that may be prohibited or require special permits.
Choose the right shipping method
Selecting the appropriate shipping method is essential for bulk cargo or a project’s international transportation. The available options for transportation are sea freight, air freight, and road freight, each with its pros and cons. It is crucial to assess the specific requirements to decide on the best-suited option. For instance, when it comes to sea freight, with the help of breaking bulk containers, it’s possible to efficiently transport large quantities of goods across long distances.
Ensure proper packaging:
Proper packaging plays a crucial role in the safe transportation of bulk cargo or projects internationally. The packaging must be durable enough to endure the challenges of transportation and shield the goods from harm. Special packaging materials such as bubble wrap or foam may be necessary for fragile items to avoid damage during shipping. Furthermore, it’s essential to label the packaging accurately with the shipment’s contents, a destination address, and other relevant details.
Choose a reliablefreight forwarder:
Selecting a dependable freight forwarder is crucial for a trouble-free and efficient international shipping experience. An experienced and trustworthy freight forwarder will manage the entire shipment process, including packaging, labeling, customs clearance, and delivery. Moreover, they can offer guidance on the most effective shipping methods and assist you in navigating any regulatory requirements or limitations. Conduct thorough research and pick a reputable company with a history of successful international shipments before choosing a freight forwarder.
Purchase insurance
When transporting goods internationally, despite utilizing the most reliable packaging and shipping techniques, there is always a likelihood of loss or damage. Therefore, it is essential to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for your shipment to secure your investment. It is crucial to go through the insurance policy’s terms and conditions cautiously to comprehend what is included and excluded. If any doubts arise, it is advisable to contact the freight forwarder or insurance provider for clarification.
