Reinventing Breakbulk Transport with Container-Ship Efficiency
In today’s global logistics landscape, oversized and project cargo owners are constantly looking for safer, faster, and more cost-effective transportation solutions. Traditional break bulk vessels remain an important option, but their limited frequency, fluctuating schedules, and increasingly volatile chartering market often create uncertainties that affect project deadlines. Recognizing this challenge, OOGPLUS has positioned itself as a dedicated expert in BBK mode (Break Bulk on Container Vessel) — a specialized solution that combines the advantages of break bulk handling with the stability and frequency of container ship operations.
At OOGPLUS, we believe that oversized and non-containerized cargo deserve smarter solutions. That is why we focus exclusively on helping clients move large, heavy, or out-of-gauge pieces directly on container vessels, without the need for containers. By leveraging global container lines, high sailing frequency, and reliable port rotations, OOGPLUS enables project owners to achieve greater schedule certainty and operational control.
What Is BBK Mode — and Why It Matters
BBK mode refers to the practice of transporting break bulk cargo on container ships, either secured on the hatch cover, deck, or in special positions within the vessel. Unlike conventional container transport, BBK cargo is:
Not loaded into a container
Lifted and stowed as individual units
Secured with customized lashing and engineering plans
Handled with heavy-lift or multi-lift arrangements
Accepted only after strict technical evaluation by the carrier
This mode is ideal for:
Long-length pieces
Over-height or over-width machinery
Steel structures and modules
Marine equipment
Construction and energy components
Any oversized piece that cannot fit into FR or OT containers
As major global carriers like MSK, CMA CGM, COSCO, and Hapag-Lloyd open more BBK positions on key trade lanes, BBK has rapidly become the preferred alternative to traditional break bulk vessels — especially for medium-size project cargo.
