Bulk cargo or Drybulk
Bulk cargo是指大宗散货，或者叫干散货物，是指所运输的货物没有包装直接装在船上的。比如粮食、矿石矿砂，河沙，糖类，煤炭等，一般都是初级产品和原材料。
英文释义：Commodity freight or bulk cargo refers to goods in large quantities which are not pre-packaged during shipment such as grain, oil, and other goods transported in loose mass.
Break-bulk cargo
Break bulk cargo 涵盖的比较广泛，在集装箱出现之前，货物都是以break bulk cargo（散货）方式运输，货物有包装，比如说以箱子、桶和托盘等方式包装运输。
简单来说，即不是bulk货物，也不是装在集装箱内，那么就是break bulk cargo了，但是目前主要指的是件杂货，比如钢材类，设备类，工程车辆，吨袋货物等等
英文释义：The second most popular type of cargo transportation method is break-bulk which originates from the word breaking bulk and it refers to goods that must be loaded individually. Normally these products cannot be in an intermodal shipping container and have to be transported in boxes, crates, barrels, or pallets instead.
Break-bulk cargo or general cargo is typically transported in ships called general cargo ships and it was the most common mode of transportation for the majority of shipping history until the introduction of containerization. Volume of break-bulk cargo has declined dramatically due to theft and damage during shipping; however, it is still employed to ship oversized freight which does not fit on a 40ft intermodal container.
Liquid cargo or Liquid bulk
另外，还有一类Liquid cargo 也是属于大宗散货里的一类货物，具体指原油，成品油，天然气等等。
通常运输这一类LIQUID CARGO的船称为液货船，是指专门运载液态货物的船舶，是载运散装液态货物的运输船舶。最先出现的液货船是油船，用来运输原油。现在，液货船种类越来越多。按照运载货物的不同，液货船分为三类：油船、液化气船、液体化学气船。油船，是载运散装原油和成品油的专用船；油船可以分为原油船和成品油船，一般吨位都比较大。它又根据载重吨不同，分为通用型液货船，1万载重吨以下；灵便型液货船，1万—5万载重吨；巴拿马型液货船，6万—8万载重吨；阿芙拉型液货船，8万—12万载重吨；苏伊士型液货船，12万—20万载重吨；超级油轮（VLCC）：20万——30万载重吨。液化气船是载运液化天然气和液化石油气的专用船。液体化学品船则是运输各种液体化学品如醚、苯、醇、酸等的专用船。
英文释义：Liquid bulk cargo is carried unpackaged in any quantity and usually transported by ships that are commonly referred to as tankers which are built specially to make the loading and unloading process become easy.
Liquid bulk cargo is generally classified into edible, non-edible, hazardous and non-hazardous liquids，Liquid bulk cargo can be transported by air, land, or maritime. In most shipment, the maritime route is used. The main reason is the large capacity of tankers. It is possible to carry up to 2 million barrels of oil by using supertankers. Compared to another route, maritime shipping has lower freight costs and delivery times.
以上是通常说的散货船运输的几种形式和具体区别，通过下图可以更加形象直接的了解，针对不同的大宗货物的运输船选择，操作的时间以及每一种运输所占的比重等。
