Break Bulk Cargo Shipping
You might be wondering what break bulk cargo
means. Well In shipping industry, break
bulk cargo or general cargo is a term that
covers great varieties of goods that must be
loaded individually, and not in intermodal
containers nor in bulk as with oil or grain.
Cargo ships have been used for hundreds of years
for the transportation of break bulk goods such
as cocoa beans, coffee, sugar and rice. Loading
and discharging by break bulk method is labor
intensive. The cargo is brought to the quay next
to the ship and then each individual item is
lifted on board separately.
Many ocean carriers are now shipping cargoes in
containers rather than break bulk. Break-bulk
marine shipping dominates in certain trade lanes
but is slowly losing ground to containerized
shipping. In general, reefer ships are more
efficient for trade lanes dominated by
refrigerated products. Container ships
predominate in trade lanes with a large share of
dry freight.
