Break bulk transport is a method for hauling goods, commodities, or cargo that cannot be shipped in cargo bins or standard containers. The load is usually bundled in pieces separately and transported in barrels, drums, boxes, bags, crates, or bales. It is then pushed, lifted, or rolled into a ship individually. The most common types in this category are machinery, structural steel, cars, and other manufactured goods. Wide Load Shipping is a professional break bulk shipping and transport services provider.

Generally, break bulk cargo requires reasonable space on container vessels and reliable partners or agents dedicated to intact delivery of your shipment. Still, a common challenge in this shipping system is the extra coordination and resources needed. These cargo vessels are typically fitted with high-capacity deck cranes with additional devices to load and unload the oversized freight. In the US, break bulk transport is projected to make up to half of all the cargo leaving and entering the country, indicating the high demand for these shipping services.
