  -> ja, alles andere wäre nicht so gut

agree  Ruth Wöhlk: Massenverschiffung geht auch
32 mins
  -> danke Rutita!

agree  Schtroumpf: Hoffe dennoch, dass kein Übersetzer bei shipping gleich an ein Schiff denkt...?! Massengut scheint mir angebrachter als Schüttgut, solange die Konsistenz nicht feststeht... // Das bezog sich nicht auf deine Antwort, sondern auf die Vorkommentare!

  -> in meiner Antwort steht nix von Schiff, außer in dem Wörterbuchzitat.
