Break Bulk

Break Bulk significantly exceeds the size and/or weight of a standard container and is therefore handled as non-unitized cargo and normally placed on a bed of flat racks with many lashing points. Break Bulk cargo includes things like yachts, masts, industrial machines or train carriages. We offer a tailored solution for your Break Bulk requirements.
