Challenges
Ro/Ro and BreakBulk shipping present unique logistical hurdles that set them apart from standard ocean freight. For Ro/Ro, which handles wheeled cargo like trucks or tanks, the challenge lies in securing space on specialized vessels equipped with ramps for easy loading and unloading.
BreakBulk, used for oversized or heavy items like industrial equipment, requires careful planning to ensure the cargo is properly stowed and protected during the voyage. Both methods demand precise coordination with ports, as not all facilities have the cranes or infrastructure needed for heavy lifts or large-scale offloading.
Regulatory compliance is another layer of complexity, especially for military cargo. Shipments must adhere to strict international standards, such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) for U.S. defense exports, which require meticulous documentation and security protocols. Additionally, protecting oversized cargo from the elements—saltwater, wind, and rough seas—over long voyages is critical to prevent damage. At LOGIN FMS Logistics LLC, we transform these challenges into opportunities to demonstrate our expertise and commitment to excellence.
