What Is Break Bulk Cargo?
Break bulk cargo typically refers to goods that can't be transported inside standard freight shipping container due to their size, shape, or weight. These consignments that include oversized, irregularly shaped, or extremely heavy and hazardous goods thus need special handling during transport. The term ‘break bulk’ originates from the historical practice of breaking down large consignments into smaller parts for easier loading onto ships.
Today, the term can apply to any cargo that doesn’t fit into standard shipping containers. Unlike containerized goods, break bulk cargo is transported in the vessel hold or on deck without unitization.
What Cargo Can You Ship as Break Bulk?
Break bulk cargo is associated with large industrial projects, making it a key component of project logistics. Examples of break bulk items include machines like excavators, cranes, turbines, bulldozers or vehicles like trains, boats, and aircraft parts. Infrastructure materials like steel beams, windmill blades, and bridge components, along with odd-shaped items such as silos, tanks, and pipes, are also typically shipped as break bulk cargo.
In short, break-bulk shipping is the go-to solution for transporting project cargo, oil rig components, construction materials, or any other goods that won’t fit into standard intermodal containers.
Understanding the Difference between Bulk and Break Bulk Cargo
While break bulk cargo could sound similar to bulk cargo, the two are quite different. Bulk cargo refers to large quantities of uniform, unpacked dry materials like grain, coal, ore, and sugar, which are transported in ship storage containers.
Break bulk cargo, by contrast, consists of heterogeneous, irregularly shaped goods that are individually packed into a vessel’s hold. While bulk cargo can be loaded or unloaded using pumps or conveyors, break bulk requires individual lift-on/lift-off handling.
