Introduction
Not all cargo fits neatly into containers. Oversized or heavy goods—like construction machinery, steel structures, or industrial equipment—require a different approach: break-bulk shipping. At Victory Freight, we specialize in handling complex shipments across Australia and internationally, ensuring each piece reaches safely and efficiently.
What Is Break-Bulk Shipping?
Break-bulk shipping refers to the transport of cargo that must be loaded individually, rather than in standardized containers. Goods are often packaged in crates, barrels, or bundles, making it ideal for out-of-gauge or project cargo.
How Break-Bulk Shipping Works
1.Cargo assessment – Weight, dimensions, and handling requirements are analyzed.
2.Custom packaging – Items are wrapped or crated for protection.
3.Manual or crane loading – Using specialized port and transport equipment.
4.Transport and delivery – Coordinated logistics from port to final destination.
