A super shallow draft bulk carrier (SSD-BC) (10) comprises a hull (12), sponsons (16) attached to the opposite sides of the hull (12) to provide additional buoyancy and thereby reduce the dead weight tonnage draft of the SSD-BC (10). A bulk materials (5) handling system (30a) is also provided which enables transfer of commodities onto or off of the SSD-BC (10). The bulk materials handling system (30a) is arranged to transfer material discharged from a bottom of cargo holds (14). The bulk materials handling system (34) includes a conveyor disposed in one of the sponsons (16) that carries the material discharged from the cargo holds (14) up to a weather deck (31) of the SSD-BC (10).
