Transporting oversized and heavy cargo is a complex challenge that requires specialized expertise, precision planning, and innovative logistics solutions. Industries such as construction, energy, mining, and manufacturing frequently deal with cargo that cannot be containerized due to its size, weight, or shape. This is where break bulk logistics comes into play - offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for moving large equipment, heavy machinery, and infrastructure components across global trade routes.  

As one of the leading break bulk shipping companies in India, CKB Group has mastered the art of handling oversized cargo, providing seamless break bulk chartering services with advanced equipment, expert planning, and global connectivity.  

Understanding Break Bulk Logistics: Why It Matters  

Unlike standard containerized shipping, break bulk shipping services involve transporting cargo that is too large or heavy for standard containers. Instead, these shipments are loaded individually onto vessels, trucks, or barges, often requiring specialized lifting, stowage, and handling procedures.

• Wind turbines, power transformers and generators  
• Oil and gas industry equipment  
• Construction machinery and infrastructure components  
• Railcars, steel structures and pipelines 

Key Advantages of Break Bulk Logistics:

• Enables transport of oversized cargo without disassembling machinery  
• Optimizes loading and unloading with specialized lifting equipment  
• Allows flexibility in shipping routes by utilizing break bulk vessel chartering  
• Minimizes risk by ensuring safe and damage-free transportation
