Why choose the best Break Bulk Vessel?

Choosing the right breakbulk vessel is one of the most important decisions when arranging transportation of steel products, machinery, industrial equipment and other non-containerized cargoes.

Kiev Shipping Ltd provides professional breakbulk cargo chartering and maritime brokerage services backed by more than 25 years of experience in international shipping.

Why is the right breakbulk vessel important?

Breakbulk cargoes can vary significantly in dimensions, weight, lifting requirements and stowage characteristics. The selected vessel must therefore match both the cargo and the operational requirements of the loading and discharge ports.

1. Vessel suitability

Multipurpose and general cargo vessels differ in cargo hold dimensions, hatch openings, deck strength, crane capacity and other characteristics. Proper vessel selection helps ensure that the cargo can be loaded, stowed and discharged efficiently.

2. Cargo dimensions and weight

Heavy or oversized units require careful evaluation before fixing a vessel. Cargo dimensions, individual weights and lifting points should be considered together with the vessel’s technical capabilities.

3. Cargo handling capabilities

For many breakbulk shipments, vessel cranes and lifting arrangements are important factors. The required lifting capacity should be assessed before the vessel is nominated.

4. Port and voyage requirements

Draft restrictions, berth limitations, loading methods, discharge arrangements and voyage conditions can all influence vessel selection.
