As taken from one of three definitions from appendix one of MSC/75/2, related to a Japanese study on bulkcarrier safety. This definition is much broader than the SOLAS one from 1999, which also talks about side and top tanks.
“Bulk Carrier means a ship which is constructed generally with single deck, topside tanks and hopper side tanks in cargo spaces, and it intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk, and includes such types as ore carriers and combination carriers"
The study concludes that the first definition is the easiest one to work with, and I fully agree.

BTW: this vessel was originally built as a tanker and was rebuilt with a new forepart and cargo section in 2008.
