Introduction
Out-of-Gauge (OOG) & Break-Bulk Handling courses teach professionals to manage oversized/heavy cargo, covering specialized lifting, lashing, securing, land/sea transport, risk assessment (damage/weather), regulations, and documentation for non-containerized freight (pallets, barrels, large machinery). Providers like Breakbulk Events, EcoMan, and regional institutes offer workshops, often focusing on project cargo logistics and regulatory compliance for safe, efficient handling.
Objectives
- Definitions: Distinguishing Breakbulk (direct vessel loading, not containerized) from OOG (exceeds standard container dimensions).
- Handling Techniques: Specialized equipment (flat racks, open tops, cranes), lashing, securing, and loading/unloading procedures for irregular shapes.
- Transport Modes: Sea, road, rail, and air transport specifics for heavy lift.
- Risk Management: Identifying risks (damage, equipment failure, human error), pre-shipment surveys, and cargo damage investigation.
- Documentation & Insurance: Bills of Lading, cargo insurance (P&I, H&M), and customs clearance.
- Regulations: Compliance with local and international rules (e.g., NHVR in Australia)
