Dry-bulk container :

What does this term stand for?

A dry-bulk container is a specialized intermodal shipping container designed for the transportation of loose, unpackaged dry goods in bulk quantities. Unlike standard shipping containers that carry palletized or packaged cargo, dry-bulk containers feature purpose-built loading and discharge mechanisms optimized for handling free-flowing materials such as grains, powders, granules, and other non-liquid bulk commodities. These containers are engineered with reinforced construction and incorporate sealing systems to protect cargo from contamination, moisture, and spillage during multimodal transport.
