Breakbulk ocean shipping is a common method used to transport out of gauge cargo or goods that do not fit in standard-size shipping containers or cargo bins. Alternatively, cargo is transported in bags, boxes, crates, drums, barrels, or is simply rolled, lifted, or pushed onto a ship or barge.
Roro or Roll-on, Roll-off shipping allows you to roll your products on and off the vessel, as opposed to being lifted onboard using cranes and forklifts. Self-propelled units such as cars, trucks and construction machinery are driven onto the vessel and secured to the deck of the ship to ensure safe transport. Wheeled units like trailers that cannot move under their own power can also be shipped using the roro mode, they are towed onboard the vessel and secured accordingly.
FCL or Full Container Load is the ocean transportation of a shipment using an entire shipping container. The freight being imported or exported has exclusive use of the container space.
