Question 410 Deck General

The correct answer is B) homogeneous cargo not enclosed in a container. Bulk cargo refers to cargo that is loaded and transported in large quantities without being packaged, containerized, or broken down into smaller shipments. It is typically a homogeneous commodity, such as grain, coal, or oil, that is loaded directly into the hold of a ship or barge. This type of cargo is not enclosed in any individual containers or packages. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the definition of bulk cargo. Cargo requiring refrigeration (A), very dense cargo (C), or cargo occupying a large volume (D) may be transported in bulk, but these characteristics do not define what bulk cargo is.
