How to choose the best breakbulk vessel for a shipment

The most suitable vessel depends on cargo dimensions, individual weights, lifting requirements, loading and discharge ports, laycan and the technical characteristics of the available tonnage.

1. Check cargo dimensions and unit weights

Oversized or heavy units may require specific hold dimensions, hatch openings, deck strength and lifting capacity.

2. Evaluate vessel cranes and lifting capabilities

For many breakbulk shipments, vessel crane capacity and lifting arrangements are critical factors. These requirements should be evaluated before fixing the vessel.

3. Review hold and deck configuration

Multipurpose and general cargo vessels differ in hold dimensions, hatch access, deck space and stowage possibilities. The vessel should match the cargo configuration and handling plan.

4. Consider port restrictions

Draft limitations, berth restrictions, shore crane availability and local cargo handling conditions can influence vessel suitability.

5. Compare freight and charter terms

Vessel availability, trading area, laycan and cargo characteristics affect freight levels. Freight, loading and discharge terms and other charter party conditions should be clearly agreed before the fixture.
