What is Break Bulk and Oversized Shipping?

Ship Overseas is happy to say we have more than 36 years of expertise in transporting and shipping high, heavy and super loads, offering you the safest, fastest, and most efficient way to transport breakbulk cargo around the world. We offer oversize shipping internationally to all seven continents. Plus, we transport oversize loads in all 50 states in the U.S.

Transporting breakbulk cargo brings many challenges, such as the risk for damage, delay penalties and missed connections. That’s why you can rely on our highly trained logistics team. We work closely with you every step of the way to ensure we understand your needs and special requirements.

Oversized shipping involves any large piece of equipment, machinery, vehicle or vessel that needs to be shipped overseas. Break bulk refers to the method of transporting cargo as separate pieces rather than in containers.

We serve a variety of industries, from construction and mining to oil and gas. Some materials require special handling. Steel, for instance, is handled based on its type and individual characteristics such as shape, weight, sensitivity and texture. As another example, when it comes to rubber, we can accommodate both natural and synthetic rubber products, on pallets or in metal crates.
