Wondering if I can use the Picture sketch of a break bulk cargo ship in the book? Hi Jarle, that is no problem, pls do add a link back to my blog.. Thanks and good luck with your book.. Thank you so much and glad this article explained very well about breakbulk and bulk cargo. I have an inquiry about transporting of sand. And this is called bulk cargo. I know that handymaxes were out of favour for a long time due to the bigger is better for fuel efficiency theory howevr they do seem to be making a comeback.
Hi Christopher, there is always scope for the different size vsls at different ports.. In my opinion, Handys will never go out of favour as there are still a lot of small ports around the world where these vsls are needed and also many short sea trades.. Anybody help,please. What can I do so that I can be able to read the info in this article. It is just blurred. I need this data badly.
Hi Nghede, sorry about that, not sure what happened or why it is blurred.. I have rectified the issue, please check.. It looks like just the info I need for my assignment. Excellent Graphics and explanations…. Very nice summary to give a basic idea to some of my staff to understand the difference. Good job! It is for basics, thus understandably there is a lot of ifs and buts, but it is certainly an excellent starting point to get the basics right. Platform or Collapsible Flat Rack is one such type..
That cargo is then identified as an Out of Gauge cargo or Over Dimensional Cargo depending on which side of the Equator you come from.. But it will still be classified as a container shipment.. However, there are cases where break bulk cargo maybe loaded on a container vsl but on top of several flat rack containers and then lashed on board..
Such cargo may be charged as lumpsum instead of per container.. Hai I am a Master mariner and a teacher by passion. When I spill a hand full of jewels from this treasure I feel more realistic and authentic. Your efforts are commendable. The objective of the article was to explain the differences between bulk and break bulk.. As you rightly mentioned, Break Bulk is written as breakbulk, break bulk, and break-bulk across the internet and in text books, but it all means the same and that meaning is what is explained in the infographic..
As explained in the article, Break bulk ships are also called Multi Purpose or General Cargo ships and in some cases people also refer to Break Bulk cargo as General Cargo because there are too many types of cargoes to list..
After so many years working in the shipping and logistics business, for the first time I got a full picture about this…. Thank you Miguel, that is one of the objectives of this blog to refresh and enhance the memory or knowledge of those already in the industry for several years, but may not be dealing with certain segments all the time..
Ship Types based on DWT appeared to be confusing. This can be explained clearly with a two dimensional graph instead presenting in a pie chart. Otherwise your explanation on break bulk and bulk is informative…. Hello Emil, a pie chart represents data visually as a fractional part of a whole and readers can see the data comparison at a glance.. That was the objective..
Hi, Hariesh, Class article. Very informative. There are many terms when a break bulk or bulk cargoes are shipped. We would appreciate some blog on these subjects like hook to hook etc. Keep up the good work…all the best. Thank you for your encouragement Suresh.. More information on the terms used in Break Bulk and Bulk will follow in due course.. Great explanation, thanks. Will this term help? Hello Saeed, yes true bulk is also another term that is used, but still not very popular commercially..
Hi Hariesh, what a great post, thanks for your work. Have you done some similar infographic or post to define each one of the Bulkers and where their names come from? Hello Alberto, thank you for your encouragement.. And thanks for the idea of the infographic to describe the bulkers, will look into it..
Just for general interest only. According to Global Security, breakbulk and bulk is projected to make up half of all cargo by volume entering or leaving the U. Equipment or goods that are tedious to break down or oversized can benefit from breakbulk shipping. Instead of breaking down the product to fit into a container or bin, the shipper can send the item in its entirety.
Typically, a breakbulk ship is equipped with high capacity deck cranes and additional equipment necessary to load and unload these oversized or heavy goods. Additionally, high deck strength barges are sometimes used to facilitate loading this cargo by rolling it on and off the vessel. Cargo is transported to and from ports by land, which is usually an efficient option for shippers needing inland services.
Otherwise, breaking products up into containers tends to be more expensive than wholly containerized goods. Therefore, it may be a more affordable option for shippers with oversized cargo.
