  • Any long, heavy, or bulky cargo

 

Disassembled or bulk cargoes were considered the most common form of shipped goods throughout history, but since the late 1960s of the last century, dependence on the Breakbulk cargo has decreased significantly due to the growth of the containerized cargo system, and the reason is due to the fact that container transport in and out of the ship is more Efficiency and less cost than the transportation of Breakbulk and disassembled individual goods, this feature allowed to reduce the time ships spend in the ports as well as gave them better smoothness and more time in navigating at sea. Damage, theft, or being lost is one of the disadvantages of the disassembled loose or bulk cargo.
