An acronym for Break-Bulk Cargo, a method of shipping goods that must be loaded individually rather than in intermodal containers or in bulk. Items are handled as separate pieces, such as machinery, crated goods, bagged cargo, or vehicles. This type of cargo is loaded onto a vessel with cranes or a ship's own gear and does not fit the standardized dimensions of containers.
