Break bulk cargo is defined as general cargo or goods that do not fit in or utilize standard shipping containers or cargo bins. Break bulk cargo (or ‘project cargo’) is freight which is too large to be transported on a single flat rack or platform. Typically, break bulk cargo is loaded across multiple flat racks on the deck of a vessel and then secured for shipment. Sometimes on a skid or pallet or in a crate. Examples of break bulk cargo include construction equipment, manufacturing materials, over sized vehicles, boats, cranes, turbine blades, ship propellers, generators, large engines and more. In the early days of shipping, ocean-going cargo was most commonly break bulk. But, with the increased use of more efficient and secure shipping containers in the late 1960s, it is now generally reserved for cargo that is too heavy or large to fit in a container. Though an effective method of shipping over sized cargo, break bulk shipping is more time-intensive than container shipping because each piece must be loaded and unloaded individually, oftentimes with special equipment.
Break Bulk Cargo was the most common method of ocean freight transportation before the rise of large container ships. It is also more labor intensive than full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) shipping, it is often the best shipping choice when products are too large, heavy, or irregularly 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.
