In this case, you may need to move your cargo using break bulk shipping. Break bulk transportation involves moving large cargo in smaller units, such as pallets, barrels, drums, boxes, or bags. It was the most common method of ocean freight transportation before the rise of large container ships. While typically more labor intensive than Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipping, it is often still the best shipping choice when products are too large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped to fit in a standard container, or if the products need to be transported to a minimally-developed port that can’t accommodate container ships. What is breakbulk shipping? Breakbulk ocean shipping is a common method used to successfully transport cargo or goods that cannot fit in standard-size shipping containers or cargo bins. Instead, cargo is transported in bags, boxes, crates, drums, barrels, other handling equipment, or is simply rolled, lifted, or pushed onto a ship or barge. Examples of common breakbulk goods include reels and rolls, steel girders, structural steel, heavy or oversized goods, manufacturing equipment, construction equipment and vehicles. Though the containerization method is one of the more popular shipping methods, breakbulk is noticing an influx of interested shippers with oversized items. According to Global Security, breakbulk and bulk is projected to make up half of all cargo (by volume) entering or leaving the U.S. and will make a large portion of the shipping market in 2020. Major changes aren’t expected to come to breakbulk, therefore, the demands on port infrastructure, vessel safety, and law enforcement will remain stable.
