Breakbulk refers to cargo that is loaded as individual pieces rather than in containers, typically due to size, weight or shape. Project cargo usually describes complex, high-value or multi-piece shipments linked to a specific project – for example a factory move, construction site or energy installation – and often combines breakbulk, heavy lift and specialist inland transport under one managed plan.

Breakbulk and project cargo services are ideal for mobile homes, heavy and oversized goods, agricultural machinery, manufacturing and construction equipment, industrial plant, vehicles, and other long-length or out-of-gauge items that won’t fit safely into standard containers.

Breakbulk is not always cheaper than container shipping, but it can be more cost-effective and practical for very large, heavy or long cargo that would be difficult or expensive to move in containers. We’ll compare breakbulk, OOG container options and any alternative methods to recommend the most suitable and economical solution for your shipment.

To provide a tailored quote, we typically need cargo dimensions and weight, number of pieces, collection and delivery locations, preferred ports (if any), required timing and any special handling requirements such as lifting gear, securing or weather protection. The more accurate the information, the more precise we can be on routing, pricing and transit times.
