In the dynamic world of international shipping, Break Bulk Cargo-Steel Materials transportation stands as a critical pillar supporting industrial development, infrastructure projects, and manufacturing worldwide. As part of GUANGZHOU SPEED INT'L FREIGHT FORWARDING CO., LTD., I have personally witnessed how this logistics solution optimizes efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures safe delivery of large, heavy, and irregularly shaped steel materials that cannot fit into standard containers.
Our company specializes in professional break bulk shipping services that cater to industries such as construction, shipbuilding, energy, and machinery manufacturing. Unlike containerized freight, break bulk allows us to handle cargo pieces of various dimensions—whether it's steel coils, plates, pipes, or heavy equipment—providing greater flexibility and precision.
Break Bulk Cargo-Steel Materials refers to the shipment of steel-related goods that are loaded, transported, and unloaded individually rather than inside standardized containers. This method is widely used for over-dimensional or overweight steel cargo that requires special handling or stowage.
Below is a quick overview of the steel cargo types we frequently transport:
| Type of Steel Material | Description | Typical Weight/Size |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Coils | Rolled flat steel sheets used in manufacturing | 15–30 tons per unit |
| Steel Plates | Heavy-duty flat sheets for construction | 2–15 tons per plate |
| Steel Pipes & Tubes | Hollow cylinders for oil, gas, and water transport | Up to 18 meters long |
| Structural Beams & Angles | Used for bridges, buildings, and towers | Customized lengths and weights |
Our Break Bulk Cargo-Steel Materials logistics process involves specialized planning and coordination at every stage:
Cargo Survey & Packaging: We evaluate the steel's dimensions, weight, and handling needs.
Custom Crating & Lashing: Ensuring safe securing on the vessel deck or hold.
Route Optimization: Selecting ports that support heavy-lift and oversize cargo operations.
Loading & Unloading: Conducted using cranes, forklifts, and custom lifting frames.
Final Delivery: Coordinated inland transportation to reach factories, construction sites, or end users.
Through these steps, GUANGZHOU SPEED INT'L FREIGHT FORWARDING CO., LTD. ensures minimal damage, timely delivery, and transparent communication throughout the shipment cycle.
We understand that every steel shipment is unique. Our long-term experience in handling Break Bulk Cargo-Steel Materials gives us the technical knowledge and logistical foresight to anticipate and solve potential challenges. Here's why clients prefer working with us:
