Break Bulk Cargo
Specialized handling of oversized, heavy-lift, and non-containerized cargo - from industrial machinery to structural steel, we move what others can't.
Overview
Moving What Containers Can't.
Break bulk cargo refers to goods that are too large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped to fit in standard shipping containers. JIT-Ex specializes in these unconventional, complex shipments, providing end-to-end management from origin port to final destination.
Our experienced break bulk team handles everything from industrial machinery, construction equipment, and steel structures to wind turbine components and petrochemical plant modules - cargo that demands precision planning, specialized vessels, and expert rigging.
With operations spanning 150 countries and relationships with major ports across the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, and beyond, JIT-Ex is your trusted partner for even the most demanding break bulk moves in Saudi Arabia, GCC, and globally.
What We Handle
Break Bulk Capabilities
Oversized & Out-of-Gauge (OOG)
Shipments that exceed standard container dimensions in length, width, or height. We arrange flat-rack, open-top, and heavy-lift vessel space with appropriate port permits and escort where required.
Heavy Lift Cargo
Industrial machinery, pressure vessels, reactors, and transformers requiring specialised cranes and rigging equipment. Our team coordinates lift studies, seafastening design, and vessel stability assessments.
Steel & Metal Products
Structural steel, pipes, coils, and plates that ship in bundles, on racks, or as loose cargo. We manage stowage plans, dunnage, and lashing to protect cargo integrity throughout the voyage.
Energy & Petrochemical Modules
Pre-assembled plant modules, heat exchangers, compressors, and power generation units for Saudi Arabia's booming energy sector. We coordinate with ARAMCO, SABIC, and project developers for seamless site delivery.
Bagged & Palletised Bulk
Agricultural products, fertilizers, chemicals, and commodities packed in bags, sacks, or on pallets. We manage stuffing, strapping, and moisture protection for long ocean voyages.
Port Agency & Documentation
Full port agency services at King Abdul Aziz Port (Dammam), King Fahad Port, and Jeddah Islamic Port - including berth coordination, customs clearance, cargo surveys, and bill of lading issuance.
