Breakbulk items refer to cargo that is too large or heavy to be transported in standard shipping containers. These items are typically loaded individually onto ships, trucks, or trains, making them distinct from containerized cargo. Examples of breakbulk items include machinery, construction materials, and large equipment. Transporting breakbulk items requires specialized handling and logistics. Due to their size and weight, these items often need cranes or other heavy equipment for loading and unloading. Proper planning is essential to ensure safe and efficient transportation, especially in ports and terminals where shipping operations take place.
