bulk carrier

US/bʌlk ˈker.i.ɚ/
nounC1Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

A bulk carrier is a ship that carries loose cargo such as grain or ore. Load the bulk carrier.

It has no containers and no packaging, only enormous holds filled by conveyor. A bulk carrier can be dangerous to load, since an uneven fill puts the whole hull under strain.
