Break bulk cargo includes those items that are not suitable for shipping in standard containers shipping because of either a size or weight consideration or special handling instruction. Unlike containerised cargo, breakbulk cargo is loaded as individual pieces onto vessels, each requiring equipment and expertise to ensure safe transportation of goods to their destination.
With our end-to-end breakbulk service, we can assist you with all cargo type including, construction equipment, industrial machinery, steel structures, wind turbine components, oil and gas equipment, and project cargo handling.

OOG cargo (Out of Gauge cargo) is considered one of the hardest shipments in logistics. OOG cargo is cargo that is larger than the standard size or exceeds the weight restrictions of conventional shipping containers. Because of our strong background in OOG cargo handling, we can ship complicated industrial installations, oversized machines, and project cargo handling that you could never try to ship through conventional means.
OOG cargo must be shipped on specialized vessels that have heavy-lift cranes, on flat-rack containers or open-top containers. Our team provides a complete pre-shipping analysis that holds the full OOG logistics of each shipment, and determines the most paradigm fit handling and routing options for transporting your OOG cargo in a safe and affordable manner.
The out of gauge (OOG) declaration process is an important and necessary process in transportation to ensure the safe transport of cargo exceeding normal dimensions. Here is why the OOG declaration process is important:
The most significant reason is to avoid an accident. If the cargo exceeds the normal gauge limit, it potentially can collide with Railway in-fa and infrastructure, such as bridges, tunnels, platforms, signals, and tracks in adjacent areas.
Railways are large capital investments requiring significant amounts of infrastructure investment including tracks, bridges, tunnels, and stations. The declaration process allows the railways to actively protect infrastructure from an oversized load strike. A minor strike can cause property damage that may a require costly repairs and potentially an interruption of service.
The process enables the establishment and proper coordination with various railway departments and stakeholders. Traffic controllers, maintenance teams, signal operators, and station staff all require advance notice when planning movements to ensure it can be delivered safely.
Most railways work under regulatory frameworks with both domestic and international standards of OOG declarations and the compliance is legally mandated. Compliance is vital to meet the safety framework, it the railways were not to properly declare OOG cargo they would be risking legal liabilities and regulatory fines in addition to the infrastructure part outlined above.
The declaration triggers detailed route analysis to identify the safest and most appropriate path for oversized cargo. This includes clearance calculations, identification of potential obstacles, and determination of any required infrastructure modifications or temporary measures.
By requiring formal documentation and approval processes, the OOG declaration system creates multiple points of assessment for risks. This systematic approach helps to identify potential problems before they develop into problems. So, it reduces possibilities for incidents to occur, and reduces the costs associated with incidents.
The out of gauge declaration process ultimately serves as a comprehensive risk management tool that balances the operational need to transport oversized cargo with the fundamental requirement to maintain safe railway operations.
