Breakbulk and project cargo
Some cargo does not fit the standard system. When a piece is too tall, too wide or too heavy for a container, it moves as breakbulk: lifted aboard, stowed and secured as its own unit. This is planning work as much as freight work, and it starts with the dimensions and the lifting points rather than with a price list.
- Route and lift planning before anything is booked
- Flat rack and open top options where they fit
- Breakbulk stowage for pieces that need it
- Lifting, securing and surveying arrangements
- Documentation for oversized movements
- Inland haulage at both ends, including permits where required
- 01Exact dimensions and weight of each piece
- 02Photographs if you have them
