Reportedly, Coca-Cola Company (KO) is switching its cargoes to vessels that are normally only used by industrial commodity traders. The company usually transports materials around the world in the same 20-foot steel boxes that haul everything from toys to bicycles, but due to constrained capacity, the company has instead chosen to use three so-called bulk carriers, normally used by commodity traders to haul products like coal and iron ore and to transport 60,000 tons of cargo.
A major advantage of using containers is that they are part of a well-established logistics chain, equipped to get goods efficiently from where they are made to where they are used. Bulkers are cheaper, but less convenient because the cargoes have to get moved to and from ports.
Dow 30 Component, The Coca-Cola Company (KO), is the largest total beverage company in the world.
