Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our break bulk and heavy lift services.
Break bulk cargo refers to goods that are loaded individually rather than in containers, often packaged in boxes, crates, barrels, or pallets. This includes items too large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped for containerization, such as steel products, bagged commodities, machinery, or vehicles. Heavy lift cargo specifically refers to extremely heavy individual pieces that require specialized lifting equipment and vessels for transport, typically weighing anywhere from several dozen to thousands of tons. Examples include transformers, generators, industrial boilers, large vessels, and entire manufacturing plant sections. While all heavy lift cargo is considered break bulk, not all break bulk shipments qualify as heavy lift due to weight considerations.
