Dry bulk shipping refers to the movement of significant commodities carried in bulk: – the so-called major bulks (such as iron ore, coal, grain), together with ships carrying steel products (coils, plates, and rods), lumber or log, and other commodities classified as the minor bulks. Other cargo ships include OBO’s (ore/bulk/ ore carriers or Combination Carriers), which are vessels able to trade alternatively dry and wet cargoes.
