n the supply chain, "breakbulk (BB)" refers to the process of handling and transporting goods that are not containerized or bulk-loaded. Breakbulk shipments consist of individual pieces, packages, or units that are loaded, unloaded, and stowed separately. This method is used for cargo that is too large, heavy, or irregularly shaped to be transported in standard containers. Breakbulk shipments require specialized equipment, such as cranes and forklifts, for loading and unloading, and they often involve extra handling and documentation compared to containerized or bulk cargo.
