In logistics, break-bulk shipping refers to an ocean freight shipment of unitized bulk products or commodities.

- Other forms of unitized cargo
Break bulk ocean freight is a dynamic industry with a strong demand for cost-effective, safe, and secure logistics solutions.
Break-Bulk Cargo Vessels
Break-bulk ocean freight requires a multi-purpose or general cargo ship. This type of vessel is ideal for break bulk shipments because of its ability to accommodate the unusual size of certain cargo shipments. With break bulk shipping, shipments from different suppliers are stored together.
These vessels often come equipped with cargo handling equipment, allowing them to berth at almost any port. Gearless breakbulk ships, meaning those without equipment, can only berth at a terminal with suitable equipment.
