Bulk Transportation problem(BTP) is a special type of transportation problem having wide industrial applications.In a BTP the requirement of each destination has to be met from only one source; however, subject to the availability of a commodity, a source can supply to any number of destinations. The paper presents an outline survey of the methods used in solving a BTP. The paper is motivated by the importance of BTP and the need for researchers to be acquainted with all existing methods in order to solve such problems or develop new improved heuristic methods.
