Challenges
Transporting breakbulk cargo poses many challenges, such as the risk for:
- Damage
- Delay penalties
- Missed connections
This is why you have to place your faith in our highly-trained logistics team as we work closely with you every step of the way to accommodate your unique needs and special requirements.
What Do the Two Terms Mean?
Oversized shipping: Any large piece of equipment, machinery, vehicle or vessel that needs to be shipped overseas.
Break bulk: The method of transporting cargo as separate pieces rather than in containers.
Industries
Ship Overseas works with clients in many industries, from construction and mining to oil and gas. Some materials require special handling. Take steel, for instance. This material is handled based on its type and individual characteristics such as shape, weight, sensitivity and texture. Rubber is another example, whereby we can accommodate both natural and synthetic rubber products, on pallets or in metal crates.
