Breakbulk shipping refers to the transportation of oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be containerized. This includes machinery, industrial equipment, and specialized vehicles that are too large or heavy for standard shipping containers or even flat-racks.
Unlike traditional shipments, break bulk cargo is transported as individual pieces, typically loaded directly onto a vessel using cranes or placed on flatbed trailers. This mode of transport requires meticulous planning, route optimization, and specialized handling procedures to ensure safety and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
Because of the complexity involved, breakbulk is not offered by all logistics providers. It demands extensive coordination, expert handling, and robust risk management systems.
LAC specializes in breakbulk shipping solutions that minimize extra costs—such as storage fees, port delays, or unexpected duties—while ensuring your cargo arrives securely and on time.
Out-of-Gauge (OOG) cargo refers to any shipment that exceeds the standard dimensions of a shipping container in length, width, or height. These oversized items often fall within the realm of break bulk cargo, as they require individualized handling and cannot be containerized in the conventional way. Such commodities demand tailored transportation solutions and expert cargo management to ensure safe and efficient delivery.
Whether you’re moving large industrial components or uniquely shaped equipment, our team is equipped to manage even the most complex logistics challenges—often characteristic of breakbulk and project cargo operations.

While container shipping is ideal for standardized, palletized, or boxed goods that fit within 20- or 40-foot containers, breakbulk shipping is the go-to option when your cargo simply doesn’t fit. If your shipment exceeds container dimensions, or is too heavy for flat-racks and platforms, breakbulk becomes the most viable and often only option.
Here are some key differences:
For companies shipping large equipment or project cargo, breakbulk remains a reliable, flexible, and cost-effective solution—especially when containerization simply isn’t feasible.
Breakbulk cargo shipping is the ideal solution when your freight exceeds the limits of a standard container in terms of dimensions and weight, or when items are too irregular in shape to be containerized. It is commonly used in project logistics for industries such as construction, oil and gas, energy, marine, and mining—sectors that often deal with oversized or heavy equipment and materials.
If your cargo requires custom planning, specialized loading procedures, or falls outside conventional freight parameters, breakbulk is likely your best-fit solution.
