| Shipping containers have transformed global trade, but what happens when cargo is too large, too heavy or too awkwardly shaped to fit inside one? That’s where breakbulk and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo come in. Think of massive industrial machinery, transformers, steel structures or components for power plants. These items may need to be transported individually, loaded directly onto a vessel or handled using specialized equipment rather than a standard container. But moving unusual cargo is about more than finding enough space. Every shipment requires careful planning to determine how it will be lifted, secured, loaded and transported safely from origin to destination. The cargo itself can influence the choice of vessel, loading method and equipment needed at every stage. Because in project cargo, when the standard solution doesn’t fit, the logistics have to adapt. |
