114. Core Advantages of Heavy-Lift / Break-Bulk Shipping for High-Value Precision Equipment

Compared with containers and ordinary freight, dedicated break-bulk and heavy-lift vessels suit the characteristics of generator sets. First, an open deck with high load capacity allows heavy equipment to be carried and secured without packing, with no size or weight limits. Second, securing and protection can be tailored to the unit's centre of gravity and structure, protecting precision equipment to the greatest extent. Third, heavy-lift ships carry their own cranes, which ideally meet handling needs at poorly equipped ports in Africa and the Middle East, free of local port equipment constraints and with greatly reduced operational risk.
