Investopedia explains 'Dry Bulk Commodity'

The transport of dry bulk commodities is highly regulated, due to the effects that an in-transport accident can have on the environment. Since these commodities are unpackaged, a spill puts them right into the environment and renders them extremely difficult to clean up leading to destruction of the environment and possible endangerment of people and wildlife.
