Breakbulk Shipment

BREAKBULK SHIPMENT

Breakbulk shipment, also known as break bulk or general cargo, refers to the transportation of goods which are too large or too heavy to be containerized. The main reason to load in Breakbulk is if the cargo requires a specific assistance to be loaded (cranes, good lift, pipes…). Among Breakbulk ships, we have : Multi-Purpose Vessels (MPP), Handy-Size vessel and Bulkers.

From small and heavy to long and light, breakbulk shipments can be easily stowed, stacked and moved on breakbulk ships, which are designed to accommodate a wide range of cargo sizes and shapes, and may have features such as adjustable decks, ramps, or cranes to facilitate loading and unloading.
