What is break bulk shipping?

Break bulk is the transport of individual pieces of cargo (steel coils, structures, plant modules, equipment) that cannot fit in a standard container. Cargo is loaded directly into the vessel hold or on deck using cranes, with engineered lashing and sea-fastening drawings.

How much cargo can a break bulk voyage carry?

It depends on the vessel. Handysize bulkers carry 10,000-40,000 DWT and Supramax 50,000-65,000 DWT, so a single voyage can easily lift 10,000+ tons of break bulk. The parcel size is set by vessel class, berth draft and port gear — tell us your volume and we match the ship.

What is the maximum single-piece weight you can handle?

Set by crane capacity, not by any container limit. Standard geared bulkers have cranes of 30-60 tons per lift; heavy-lift (MPV) vessels offer 100-300 tons single lift and can tandem-lift heavier pieces. China ports commonly used: Shanghai (Luojing) 200T+, Tianjin Lingang 150-200T, Guangzhou Nansha 100-150T — while African discharge ports must be pre-verified case by case.

How long does break bulk take from China to Africa?

25-45 days depending on destination: West Africa 25-35 days, East Africa 30-40 days, Southern Africa 35-45 days. Direct call or transshipment options available; schedules follow tramp/MPV sailings rather than fixed weekly slots.

What is the cost of break bulk shipping to Africa?

Rates depend on cargo type, weight and destination. Indicative 2026: US$55-85 per freight ton (W/M) for steel, US$75-120 for project equipment, with heavy-lift surcharges for pieces above crane limits. Contact us for a tailored quotation.

Do you handle heavy lift and oversized cargo?

Yes. Real cases include two 128-ton power transformers shipped to Africa and a 280-ton gas turbine moved with a heavy-lift MPV (2×150T cranes). Heavy-lift vessels and specialized rigging cover pieces from 100 up to 300+ tons.
