An apparatus for transportation of bulk cargo adapted to be received by an intermodal container is provided. The apparatus for transportation of bulk cargo comprises a bucket 102 adapted to be in a first or second configuration. The first configuration is suitable for the bucket to contain bulk cargo and the second configuration is suitable to allow bulk cargo in the bucket to fall under gravity out of the bucket. The apparatus for transportation of bulk cargo further comprises a mechanism for converting the bucket between the first and second configurations and a support frame for supporting the bucket and the mechanism. The bucket may be a two-part bucket, the parts being pivotally connected so that rotation of each of the two parts converts the bucket between the first and second configurations. Said bucket may be an open-topped hemi-cylindrical shell. Rows of spring-loaded rollers 122 may be arranged on the external surface of the bucket. The apparatus may comprise a scraper 126 arranged to engage the internal surface of the bucket during conversion between the first and second configuration. The mechanism may comprise a two-pronged arm 110 pivotally connected to the bucket axis.
