Abstract
Bulk carriers are single decker vessels having normally an odd number of holds to carry cargo in bulk, such as grain. Cargo loading could be transported either in all the holds or in alternative holds, depending on the cargo type and density. The side structure could be designed and constructed either with single or double skin. For high density cargo, the double bottom is designed to have heavy structure to sustain the heavy cargo load.
