Breakbulk shipping

What does Breakbulk Shipping really entail? The term ‘break-bulk’ refers to bulk goods stowed on board ship in individually counted units.

These individually counted bulk units cannot be stowed in containers because they exceed the dimensions or permitted weight of the container. Good examples of such bulk goods are big bags or pallets with cargo, and individual tree trunks.
