What is the difference between bulk carriers and general cargo ships in ocean transportation?

The main differences between bulk carriers and general cargo ships are:

One, bulk carriers are generally much larger than general cargo ships, because of the cost of the general bulk carriers are relatively large, small tens of thousands of tons, large hundreds of thousands of tons.

Two, bulk carriers generally do not have their own loading and unloading equipment, while general cargo ships generally have self-loading and unloading equipment such as cranes, cranes and so on.

Third, the structure of the general cargo ship is much more complex than the bulk carrier, more equipment in the cabin.

The future of the general cargo ship is likely to be eliminated from the field of shipping, container ships are becoming more and more powerful, the outlook for general cargo ship may be very pessimistic, in addition to some of the special equipment is basically very few grocery ships to transport.
