terminals, equipment, infrastructure………………………………….. I have designed below infographic to visually demonstrate the differences between the definition of Bulk and Break Bulk, differences in their operations, how the handling differs in both and differences in ships for both of these two

Hi Hariesh – concerning the bulker sizes, I’ve always considered Handies to be up to 35,000 dwt with handymaxes up to abt 50,000 dwt and supramaxes above that. I know that handymaxes were out of favour for a long time due to the bigger is better for fuel efficiency theory howevr they do seem to be making a comeback

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 10 May, 2017 Hi Christopher, there is always scope for the different size vsls at different ports.. In my opinion, Handys will never go out of favour as there are still a lot of small ports around the world where these vsls are needed and also many short sea trades..

Very nice summary to give a basic idea to some of my staff to understand the difference. Good job! It is for basics, thus understandably there is a lot of ifs and buts, but it is certainly an excellent starting point to get the basics right.

good day everyone, could you please tell me in which right bulk section my following example could be : a vehicle or any item carried on a bedflat ?(yacht shipped on 6x40flat for example). is it unitized cargo or neo bulk cargo. i think in my company i work, the term is not appropriate (we call it breakbulk cargo) and for information, can we call a Flat equipment, a Container. if we look a cargo on a flat, it does not really contain the cargo, since this cargo dimension may be outside the equipment thank you

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 17 February, 2016 Hello David, a container comes in many size/types.. Platform or Collapsible Flat Rack is one such type.. Cargoes that don’t fit in a standard container maybe loaded on a Flat Rack.. That cargo is then identified as an Out of Gauge cargo or Over Dimensional Cargo depending on which side of the Equator you come from.. But it will still be classified as a container shipment.. The freight for such cargoes maybe charged per container + the additional Out of Gauge charges for lost slots.. However, there are cases where break bulk cargo maybe loaded on a container vsl but on top of several flat rack containers and then lashed on board.. Such cargo may be charged as lumpsum instead of per container.. Trust this clarifies..

Great visuals but the article doesn’t cover the topic fully. There doesn’t appear to be any “universal” agreement re: definitions of the terms — check out the various dictionaries. There’s breakbulk, break bulk, and break-bulk as well as bulk cargo, et ali. Their definitions are similar among the various glossaries/dictionaries but nevertheless contain slight differences. Hinkleman’s global terms dictionary appears to be quite detailed but the only one I could find on the internet was 10 years old.

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 13 August, 2015 Hello Bud, can you pls clarify what is not covered in the article.. The objective of the article was to explain the differences between bulk and break bulk.. As you rightly mentioned, Break Bulk is written as breakbulk, break bulk, and breakbulk across the internet and in text books, but it all means the same and that meaning is what is explained in the infographic.. As explained in the article, Break bulk ships are also called Multi Purpose or General Cargo ships and in some cases people also refer to Break Bulk cargo as General Cargo because there are too many types of cargoes to list.. There are no universal agreements on how Break Bulk/Multi Purpose/General Cargo ships are referred to.. IMO doesn’t make any reference to the term Break Bulk itself but refers to General Cargo ships..

Ship Types based on DWT appeared to be confusing. This can be explained clearly with a two dimensional graph instead presenting in a pie chart. Otherwise your explanation on break bulk and bulk is informative…

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 13 August, 2015 Hello Emil, a pie chart represents data visually as a fractional part of a whole and readers can see the data comparison at a glance.. As you can see in the pie chart, the Bulker category dominates the world’s ship types @ 43%.. That was the objective..

Hi, Hariesh, Class article. Very informative. for all those especially who are more into containerized shipping.. There are many terms when a break bulk or bulk cargoes are shipped. We would appreciate some blog on these subjects like hook to hook etc. Keep up the good work…all the best.

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 13 August, 2015 Thank you for your encouragement Suresh.. More information on the terms used in Break Bulk and Bulk will follow in due course..

By Saeed Mirza - 13 August, 2015

Great explanation, thanks. Any cargo such as coal, grain, phosphate or as you mentioned “cargo not packed” we used to call “in true bulk” to differentiate from the bulk cargo. Will this term help?

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 13 August, 2015 Hello Saeed, yes true bulk is also another term that is used, but still not very popular commercially..

Just for general interest only . Presentation was of a friendly introductory nature . Please also refer to IMO´s definition of a ” bulk carrier” . The so called ” Geared Dry Bulker” can at times carry a full and complete ” homogeneous ” cargo under deck & on deck such as sawn timber or strapped/bundled logs (paper pulp trade) and must observe all the prevailing rules of the trade and good seamanship concerning lashing/securing /stability . Although the practice was never fostered and has disappeared – since say the “70 ties ” – grain ( bagged & bulk” parcels ) and coal in bulk have been carried on weather deck of a ship !.

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 13 August, 2015 Hello LR, thanks for the information..

The breakbulk cargo is the one which includes several types of cargo altogether. Breakbulk cargo is is found in many areas of Africa and Asia. The cargo which is made up of only one type packed uniformely is named neo-bulk cargo. You described neo-bulk cargo as being breakbulk cargo. Actually, breakbulk cargo tends to lose importance in modern shipping.

Hello Alex, thanks for bringing it up.. I have edited the infographic to include non unitised general cargo under Break Bulk.. Break bulk cargo is still very much relevant in today’s shipping world and such cargoes will always be shipped..

By Alex - 15 August, 2015 You missesd the central point. Container cargo is a category of general cargo. The cargo classification is as follows: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/sealiftships.jpg

By Hariesh Manaadiar - 16 August, 2015 Hello Alex, while cargo inside a container maybe described as General Cargo and General Cargo ships can also load containers, I do not agree with the classification as shown in this image that containerized cargo, ships or trade can be classified under general cargo.. And as you can see, this image also incorrectly classifies RO-RO under containerized cargo..

By Alex - 31 August, 2015 I agree with you as for Ro-ro cargo, but please take a look on the following figure: http://www.shippipedia.com/wpcontent/uploads/2010/09/Cargo1.png
