🚛 Navigating Oversize Cargo and Breakbulk Shipping When it comes to logistics, not all cargo is created equal. Handling oversize or breakbulk shipments requires specialized expertise and planning to ensure safe and efficient transport. 📦 Oversize Cargo: These are the massive loads that can’t fit into standard containers—think heavy machinery, construction equipment, or large industrial components. Transporting them involves detailed route planning, permits, and specialized vehicles to ensure everything arrives on time and in one piece. ⚓ Breakbulk Shipping: This method is all about moving cargo that is too big or oddly shaped for containers. Instead of being packed in uniform units, items like steel, timber, or wind turbine parts are loaded individually onto vessels. This allows for flexibility when dealing with unconventional freight. Both methods require: 📋 Meticulous planning for routes and regulatory compliance. 🏗️ Specialized equipment like cranes, flatbeds, and custom rigs. 🤝 Collaboration across multiple teams to handle the complexities of transport. Successfully moving these large or irregularly shaped items takes more than just muscle—it’s a careful balance of coordination and expertise.

MacGregor still shares the same passion with our founders - to develop solutions that make the sea more accessible and safe for you. In our last history post, we told the story of the MacGregor brothers who became concerned about the unnecessary loss of North Sea coal ships and as a solution, brothers Robert and Joseph developed the first steel hatch covers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1929. The brothers struggled at first to persuade ship owners to change from tested and proven wooden covers but when finally succeeded in 1945, this ground-breaking innovation improved ship and cargo safety and changed the face of cargo care forever. We are proud of our heritage and still today, continue to prioritise your operations with the same innovation and safety that defined the original hatch covers in the 1920s. Our hatch covers are tailored to meet your diverse needs, offering you one of the world’s most advanced cargo systems and shaping the industry to better serve you. But who was the man behind the sudden change of sales in 1945 and another character behind what we today know as the global MacGregor company? Stay tuned for another piece of history. #maritimeindustry #cargo #hatchcovers #innovation

Breakbulk cargo, the traditional method of transporting goods without using containers, remains pivotal in the Middle East due to its flexibility and efficiency in handling oversized or heavy items. This region, a vital link between East and West, relies heavily on breakbulk shipping for the movement of critical infrastructure materials, such as steel, machinery, and project cargoes, essential for its ongoing construction boom and industrial projects. The strategic location of Middle Eastern ports, combined with their expertise in breakbulk operations, positions them as key players in global logistics. As economies in the region diversify and infrastructure demands grow, the importance of breakbulk cargo in the Middle East continues to rise, highlighting the need for specialized handling and logistical strategies to accommodate this complex mode of transport.

Whereas a tanker can only transport liquid goods, a bulk carrier can only transport dry freight. As a result of this, these two kinds of vessels can only be used on set itineraries with minimal flexibility. Ore-bulk-oil (OBO) carriers, on the other hand, are versatile, meaning that they may operate on various routes based on market supply and demand to maximize profit.   Ore-bulk-oil (OBO) carriers are costly to construct, however since they can transport both dry and wet cargo simultaneously, this characteristic makes them a more cost-effective choice by lowering the number of ballast or empty trips. #bulkcarrier #vessels #ships #tanker #tankership #orebuloilcarriers #OBO #shipping #maritimetransport #maritime #maritimefacts #liquid #bulk #ballast #sammarine #bunkersurvey #onhirebunker #offhirebunker #trustisthebeginning #maritimeindustry

𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐎 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 $𝟗𝟖𝐦 China’s COSCO Shipping Specialized Carriers has ordered four 9,000-tonne special liquid cargo ships at Mawei Shipyard, a subsidiary of Fujian Shipbuilding. These four vessels were ordered through its Hong Kong-based wholly-owned subsidiary COSCO Shipping Investment Development and will be used for asphalt transport. The total investment is around $98m while the price of a single ship is about $24.5m. The vessels will be delivered between October 2025 and August 2026. The company stated that the internal rate of return of this project is approximately 7.2% and the investment payback period is 11.8 years. According to COSCO, asphalt carriers built before 2005 have been driven out of the core market due to global green and low-carbon requirements and there are only 21 vessels in the 7,000-9,000 tonne range that are under 10 years old – or around 7%. The Chinese company added that it would also be creating a 7,500, 9,000, and 13,000-tonne capacity asphalt fleet which, it hopes, will provide future market competitiveness.
