Break Bulk Shipping for Generators & Power Equipment

Moving Generators by Break Bulk

Power generation equipment - diesel generators, gas turbines, transformers, and skid-mounted power plants - is among the most common break bulk cargo from China to Africa, driven by grid expansion and industrial backup power demand.

Why Generators Go Break Bulk
  • Weight and size: A 1 MW containerized genset can weigh 20-30 tons; larger units and transformers exceed container limits.
  • Vibration protection: Break bulk allows custom lashing, shock-absorption and protection from container stacking pressure.
  • Project alignment: Power projects ship multiple items together - transformers, switchgear, cables - best coordinated as one break bulk lot.

SPEED INT'L shipped a 128-ton power transformer to West Africa - mafi roll trailer at origin, heavy-lift vessel stowage, and discharge with mobile cranes at destination. Full lashing plan and cargo survey delivered to the client before loading.

Generator Shipping FAQ

Q: What details do you need for a generator quote?

A: Unit dimensions, weight, number of units, cargo photos and destination port - these determine vessel selection and lashing design.

Q: Can generators be shipped in containers instead?

A: Smaller units (under 20 tons) can ship in 40HQ or flat racks; larger transformers and turbines need break bulk or heavy-lift vessels.
