Pilvikonteiner, also known as dry bulk carriers, are a type of cargo ship designed to transport bulk dry cargo, such as coal, grain, and ore, in large quantities. These ships are characterized by their flat, rectangular decks that are not enclosed, allowing for the loading and unloading of cargo through the ship's side. The cargo is typically secured on the deck using lashing systems or other securing methods.

Pilvikonteiner ships come in various sizes, ranging from small coastal vessels to massive ultra-large container ships (ULCS) that can carry over 20,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units). The size and capacity of these ships are often measured in deadweight tonnage (DWT), which refers to the total weight of the ship and its cargo.

The design of pilvikonteiner ships is optimized for efficiency and stability, with features such as large holds, robust hull structures, and advanced cargo handling systems. These ships are typically propelled by diesel engines and are designed to operate in various sea conditions, making them suitable for both coastal and open-sea routes.

Pilvikonteiner ships play a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the transportation of essential commodities and raw materials. They are operated by shipping companies and are often part of larger fleets that serve specific trade routes or cargo types. The management and operation of these ships require specialized knowledge and skills, including navigation, cargo handling, and maintenance.
