ABSTRACT

Intercargo believes that a new approach is needed to maintain a safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and profitable dry cargo shipping industry.

Dry bulk trades comprise iron ore, coal, grain, timber, steel and other similar cargoes which are shipped in bulk as opposed to carried in containers or other unit loads. Delivering approximately 5 million tons of these commodities every day requires an efficient dry cargo shipping industry-without which, world trade as we know it would cease.
