Breakbulk Cargo
When it comes to shipping oversized and heavy cargo, one size does not fit all. Some cargo is simply too large, too heavy, or too uniquely shaped for standard shipping methods. That’s where breakbulk cargo comes in—a tried-and-true solution for transporting oversized and non-containerized freight across the globe.
What Is Breakbulk Cargo?
Breakbulk cargo refers to goods that are loaded, transported, and unloaded as individual pieces rather than in standardized containers. These could be heavy machinery, steel beams, construction materials, wind turbines, or even massive industrial equipment. Instead of being packed into containers, breakbulk shipments are secured directly onto a vessel, truck, or aircraft for transport.
Why Choose Breakbulk Shipping?
Breakbulk shipping remains a critical part of global trade, especially for industries like construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and energy. But why do businesses opt for this method?
- Moving Oversized Cargo: Not everything fits into a container! Large equipment, vehicles, and building materials need custom handling, making breakbulk shipping the best option.
- Access to Ports Without Large Cranes: Many ports around the world lack the infrastructure for handling large shipping containers. Breakbulk cargo allows direct loading and unloading, making it a more flexible option.
- Faster Unloading & Distribution: Unlike containerized shipments, which require extensive unloading processes, breakbulk cargo can be offloaded directly to trucks or warehouses speeding up delivery times.
With growing demand for renewable energy projects, large-scale construction, and infrastructure development, breakbulk logistics is more important than ever. Innovations in cargo handling, tracking, and port facilities continue to make breakbulk shipping more efficient and cost-effective.
