Lesson 2

Question 1

have a set ofcharacteristicslinked withcore(terminal operations) andancillaryactivities (added value such as distribution). The result is that terminals aredifferentiated functionallyboth by the mode involved and the commodities transferred. A basic distinction is that between bulk, general cargo, and containers:

Answer 1

Freight terminals

Question 2

refers to goods that are handled in large quantities that are unpackaged and are available in uniform dimensions.

Answer 2

Bulk

Question 3

include crude oil and refined products that can be handled using pumps to move the product along with hoses and pipes. Relatively limited handling equipment is needed, but significant storage facilities may be required.

Answer 3

Liquid Bulk Goods

Question 4

includes a wide range of products, such as ores, coal, and cereals. More equipment for dry bulk handling is needed, because the material may have to utilize specialized grabs and cranes and conveyor-belt systems. For specific bulk cargoes, some changes in their characteristics may be required to ensure the continuity of the transportation process, such as its load unit or its physical state (from solid to liquid or gas, or any combination).

Answer 4

Dry bulk goods

Question 5

refers to goods that are of many shapes, dimensions, and weights, such as machinery,processed materials, and parts.

Answer 5

general cargo

Question 6

Because the goods are so uneven and irregular, handling is difficult to mechanize. _____ handling usually requires labor.
