Break Bulk Cargo

What is Break Bulk Cargo?

Break bulk cargo refers to goods that are transported individually rather than in containers, pallets, or bulk liquid carriers. Break bulk cargo meaning in shipping involves handling items like bottled water, soft drinks, beer kegs, or juice cartons, which are loaded and unloaded piece by piece. Break bulk cargo shipping requires specialized handling and storage to prevent damage and maintain quality. Break bulk cargo examples in this sector include cases of bottled beverages, casks, and crates of assorted drinks. Transport options include box trucks, cold chain, and pallet parka. Proper management ensures efficient transport and reduces spoilage during transit.
