A carefully coordinated process designed for safe handling and transport of non-containerized cargo

Breakbulk and unitised shipping is best suited for cargo that is oversized, heavy, or irregular in shape and cannot fit into standard containers.

Each shipment is handled individually or carefully unitised, allowing tailored lifting, securing, and transport methods based on cargo requirements.

These services are widely used for industrial, infrastructure, and project cargo, enabling smooth transportation of machinery, structures, and equipment.

With specialized handling and close operational supervision, breakbulk and unitised cargo ensures higher safety and reduced risk during loading, transit, and discharge.
Clear answers to common questions about our logistics services and processes.
Breakbulk freight refers to cargo too large or heavy to fit into standard shipping containers, such as oversized machinery, construction materials, or industrial equipment, which must be loaded individually onto vessels. Unitised freight involves grouping smaller items into single units (like pallets or crates) to simplify handling and transportation. Both service types help manage specialised shipments efficiently.
CFFWORLD manages specialised freight by planning and coordinating every step of the logistics process — including the use of cranes or other heavy handling equipment, secure lashing and bracing techniques, expert packing, and careful movement of each piece of cargo. Their team ensures that oversized or irregular shipments are safely transported and delivered to destination.
Safety is prioritised through rigorous security practices like proper packing, lashing, bracing, blocking of cargo, and clear labelling. CFFWORLD also continuously monitors shipments and provides regular updates, using advanced handling methods and materials to minimise risks of damage or loss during transit.
CFFWORLD's licensed customs brokers handle all clearance requirements, including complex documentation, permits for oversized cargo, and coordination with Australian Border Force. They ensure compliance with regulations so that specialised freight clears customs smoothly and without unnecessary delays.
