Break bulk cargo ships

Break bulk delivery is the most efficient solution for transporting oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped break bulk cargo that cannot be containerized. Using specialized break bulk vessels, this method provides flexibility and access to global terminals. Here are the  types of vessels typically used for this task:

1. Multi-Purpose Vessels (MPVs) – Designed to handle a variety of cargo types, MPVs are widely used in break bulk freight, offering adaptability for different break bulk shipments.
2. Heavy Lift Ships – Equipped with onboard cranes, these vessels specialize in transporting extremely heavy and large break bulk cargoes, such as industrial machinery or infrastructure components.
3. Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) Vessels – Ideal for wheeled cargo, Ro-Ro ships simplify break bulk cargo handling operations by allowing vehicles and equipment to be driven directly onto the ship.
4. General Cargo Ships – Traditional break bulk carriers that transport a wide range of goods, often used for smaller break bulk shipments that require flexibility.
5. Semi-Submersible Vessels – Used for transporting the heaviest and most complex cargo, such as oil rigs or large industrial structures.

These are just some of the break bulk vessels utilized in global logistics. At SYNEX Logistics, we ensure that every delivery is matched with the right break bulk carrier, optimizing efficiency, cost, and safety.
