Breakbulk Shipping is a common method used to successfully transport cargo or goods that do not fit in standard container containers or cargo bins. Instead, the cargo is carried in bags, boxes, crates, drums, barrels, and other handling equipment, or simply rolled up, lifted, or dumped on a ship or boat.
Construction equipment, manufacturing materials, oversized vehicles, boats, cranes, turbine blades, ship propellers, generators, large engines, Reels and rolls, steel girders, structural steel, heavy or magnified materials, production equipment are examples of common breakbulk goods. Although the containerization method is one of the most popular shipping methods, Breakbulk notices the arrival of interested exporters with oversized goods.
Here are the top four benefits of Breakbulk Shipping:
– Ability to move large and heavy items that do not fit in a container or cargo.
– Reduce the time spent on reconstruction and reconstruction so that the goods are ready to be shipped.
– Goods can usually enter small ports that cannot accommodate large container vessels or tankers.
– Items do not have to be packaged in a container; Therefore, items can be shipped separately.
Enlarged, heavy lift and out-of-gauge cargo
Equipment or items that are hard to break or enlarge may benefit from breakbulk shipping. Instead of breaking the product to fit in a container or tank, the exporter may ship the entire item.
Typically, a Breakbulk ship is equipped with high-tech deck cranes and the equipment needed to load and unload these enlarged or heavier loads. In addition, high-tier barges are sometimes used to facilitate the loading and unloading of these cargoes.
Affordable
Cargo is transported by land to ports, which is usually an efficient option for shipping exporters who require domestic services. Otherwise, breaking products into containers is more expensive than completely containerized products.
Reduced degradation and restoration
There is no need to disassemble or disassemble cargo on a Breakpool ship such as a barge or ship. Therefore, it can be a very cheap option for those who ship large quantities of goods. Ultimately, this leads to a faster delivery time.
Small ports
Breakbulk can be delivered to most ports worldwide and requires no breakdown or restoration. When loading and unloading goods in a port, the ship already has equipment, which saves time in transporting the goods.
Separated containers
There is no need to separate the containers to carry the goods to the breakbulk. Instead, heavy or large items are loaded with special equipment such as cranes for loading on the ship. This makes it easier to carry bulky items.
