  "term": "Breakbulk cargo",
  "field": "Logistics and supply chain",
  "definition": "Goods that are stowed and transported individually rather than being containerized or shipped in bulk. These non-unitized items, such as machinery, steel girders, or vehicles, are loaded onto a vessel one piece at a time using cranes, nets, or slings. Breakbulk shipping is distinct from both container shipping, which uses standardized intermodal containers, and bulk shipping, which handles loose commodities like grain or oil.",
