✓ It can accommodate heavy and bulky items that exceed container capacity: If goods are complicated when broken down into components, you can send the whole assembly using break bulk shipment. A general cargo ship has high-capacity deck cranes and handling equipment that can carry heavy goods.
✓ It can reduce deconsolidation and reconsolidation of shipments: If you have an oversized cargo, it doesn’t have to be deconstructed into pieces. With break bulk shipping, you can save expenses through a consolidated shipment and a faster reconsolidation process.
✓ It can be accommodated in smaller ports:Breakbulk shipping allows delivery of your shipment to smaller ports without requiring much deconsolidation or reconsolidation. Most of the ports can’t receive large shipments.
The handling equipment is already available on your ship, making unloading convenient and saving time in transportation.
✓ It can be shipped separately:You won’t have to ship your goods in separate containers when employing breakbulk. Oversized items can easily be loaded by special equipment like crates.
