Specialized Cargo, Handled Right, Every Time.
Break bulk chartering, heavy-lift and dry bulk cargo — for shipments too large, too heavy or too irregular for a standard container.
Why Apextar
Built for Non-Standard Cargo
Break Bulk Chartering
Vessel and space chartering for cargo shipped loose or in units rather than containerised — machinery, structural steel, vehicles.
Heavy-Lift & Oversized Handling
Engineering assessment, lashing and securing plans for cargo beyond standard container weight or dimension limits.
Comprehensive Customs Handling
Project-import and specialised cargo clearance managed in-house, including any additional permits the cargo category needs.
End-to-End Visibility
Milestone tracking through loading, transit and discharge for cargo that can't be tracked like a standard box.
Risk Management
Marine insurance and engineering sign-off reduce the higher handling risk that comes with non-standard cargo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as break bulk cargo?
Cargo shipped loose or in individual units rather than inside a container — structural steel, industrial machinery, vehicles, large equipment — typically loaded and secured directly in a vessel's hold.
How is heavy-lift cargo different from standard freight?
It exceeds standard container weight or dimension limits and needs engineering assessment, specialised lifting equipment and a lashing/securing plan before it can be booked.
Do you handle dry bulk commodities?
Yes — bulk cargo like minerals, grains or industrial raw materials shipped loose in a vessel's hold rather than bagged or containerised.
Do specialized cargo shipments need extra permits?
Often, yes — project import licences, out-of-gauge permits or specific handling approvals depending on the cargo. We identify what's needed during the planning stage, before booking.
How far in advance should I plan a break bulk shipment?
Considerably earlier than standard container freight — vessel chartering, engineering sign-off and permits all take lead time, so we recommend planning at least four to six weeks ahead.
How do I get a quote for specialized cargo?
