Our scope covered Sea Freight transportation of 6 heavy-duty trucks, shipped as Breakbulk cargo from Changshu, China to Alexandria, Egypt.

Shipping heavy equipment of this scale as Breakbulk cargo requires close coordination with the shipping line and all stakeholders to ensure smooth transit and on-time arrival.

All arrangements were confirmed in order, and the vessel successfully sailed on June 20th.

Nowlun specializes in handling Breakbulk shipments for heavy and oversized cargo, connecting clients with reliable carriers and managing the process end-to-end. This expertise allows businesses to move

Nowlun managed a break bulk shipment of 2 JCB excavators from Alexandria, Egypt to Casablanca, Morocco, handling the full operation end-to-end.

Scope of work:

• Coordinated loading and lashing of both excavators onto flat rack containers

• Managed ocean freight booking and vessel coordination for the sea leg from Alexandria to Casablanca

• Deployed Nowlun engineers on-site to supervise the operation step by step, ensuring safety and quality throughout

• Liaised directly with Alexandria Port authorities to obtain all necessary approvals and export documentation

Break bulk shipments carry higher operational risk than standard containerized freight, where incorrect lashing or missed permits can delay a shipment or damage cargo. Nowlun treats transport, lashing, ocean freight, and port coordination as one managed process with engineering oversight at every step, not separate vendor handoffs.

Nowlun is a digital freight forwarder operating in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, providing inland transportation, air and ocean freight, sea freight services including FCL, bulk, and break bulk, with real-time tracking across all shipments.
