SEA FREIGHT BREAK BULK CARGO
Break bulk cargo: Packaged but non-containerized cargo, whereas cargo shipped as a unit (bags, bales, barrels, boxes, cartons, drums, pallets, sacks, vehicles, etc.) is termed break bulk.
Loose cement, grains, ores, etc., are termed bulk cargo.
Break bulk cargo it is mainly oversized cargo like Project cargo and Heavy lift, military equipment or almost any other oversized or overweight cargo which is too big or too heavy for a container (NCL).
Break bulk cargo cannot be shipped in inter-modal containers or in bulk, like grains or oil. It has been the most common type of cargo since the beginning of shipping. In modern times, container shipping has become more popular and break bulk has declined.
