What is breakbulk?
Specialised services for oversized and non-containerized cargo
DSV’s breakbulk services include reliable and cost-effective solutions that meet the highest standards of safety, service and quality.
With breakbulk, your cargo is transported loose instead by using standard containers. This cargo is therefore non-containerized and contains items that are to large or to heavy, such as: construction and mining machinery, equipment for the oil and gas industry, pipes, boats, turbine blades, ship propellers, generators, large engines and steel parts.
How does breakbulk work?
Breakbulk cargo is usually transported in big bags, crates or barrels. Or as lose cargo secured on pallets or skids. Specialized breakbulk vessels are equipped with cranes that can handle heavy cargo safer and faster than normal harbor cranes, making the loading or unloading of breakbulk faster and more efficient.
