1. What is break bulk shipping?

Bulk shipping is one of the oldest methods of transporting goods. The term bulk cargo refers to the process of breaking bulk cargo into smaller parts. Bulk shipping is used when the shipment is too large to fit in a standard shipping container. Common examples of general cargo include wood, reels and reels, steel beams and structural steel, construction and manufacturing equipment, railroad cars and rails, aircraft and wings, boats and other vehicles, consignment cargo, large engines and generators, any other heavy duty or oversized cargo, etc.

These cargoes are too large or heavy to store in bulk. Therefore, they are shipped individually or in small quantities. In this type of transportation, the cargo is usually transported in crates, boxes, barrels, barrels, or other handling equipment, or simply rolled, lifted or pushed onto the ship. Break bulk shipping can be done using air freight forwarding services or through the ocean freight forwarding process. However, most project freight forwarders in India and overseas prefer bulk ocean freight to successfully transport cargo or cargo that cannot fit into standard size containers.

2. The benefits of break bulk shipping

Easier: The main benefit of using break bulk shipping is that shippers can more easily ship oversized, overweight items that would otherwise not fit into a container or box.

Streamlined: break bulk shipping is an economical method of shipping large shipments because there is no need to dismantle items in transit. For example, if a company has to ship a huge construction machine to a specific destination, the entire piece of equipment will be shipped in one piece, all together. The process is smoother and more streamlined. It loads, unloads and delivers. If you want to do break bulk shipping, JCtrans would be a great choice.
 

Access to most ports in the world: Bulk continues to hold its advantage in regions where port development has not kept pace with shipping technology. According to research, many ports are not modern enough to handle containers. In this case, bulk shipping seems to be the better option. It also helps underdeveloped countries obtain the goods and supplies they need to survive.

Save on processing time: Containers carry multiple cargoes, therefore, multiple bills of lading are required for each cargo. In breakbulk, however, paperwork is easier because there is only one bill of lading for the entire shipment. This saves time in shipping the product.
