Family Stores Cargo transports all types of XXL cargo from delicate shipments such as trains, cars, and yachts; to large and heavy equipment such as turbines, engines, and factory components. Our high level of specialized technical and commercial expertise enables us to load oversized and heavy lift cargo up to 500 metric tons.
In order to quickly create the best and most accurate offer for our customers, Family Stores Cargo experts need several pieces of basic information. This basic information includes POL and POD, a description of the piece(s) including dimensions, gross weight and time of shipment. Pictures, technical drawings or lifting instructions clearly mentioning lifting points and the position of the center of gravity will also help us to study the operational feasibility on our vessels (mainliners & feeders) and answer all clients’ needs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Provide details of whom to contact in Asia, Europe, Americas etc. with name/email address so that our readers can approach them directly if needed.” tab_id=”1447734839113-ff62a5f8-66d2″][vc_column_text]

For example, when does a Breakbulk piece become Breakbulk and not OOG?” tab_id=”1447734838300-ee0e3a49-42dc”][vc_column_text]Family Stores Cargo offers adapted equipment for all XXL cargo. A dedicated team of experts will guide our customers through the different loading procedures to ensure safe and secure transport. Depending on its dimensions and weight, XXL cargo will be loaded on a specific type of container.
Open Top containers: Similar in all respects to a general purpose container except that it does not have a rigid roof but may have a flexible and removable cover, supported on removable roof bows. Examples: Any cargo that can only be loaded from the top, such as light machinery, over-height cargo, etc.
Flat Rack containers and platforms: Strong based platform containers with collapsible ends (Flat Rack) or without collapsible ends (platforms). Examples: Any oversized or heavy cargo, such as cable reels, roadwork machines, factory parts, trucks, sailboats, etc.
Break Bulk cargos are loaded on a bed of Flat Racks (several assembled side by side) or Platforms, usually under the deck. Examples: 120 metric ton diesel engines, 25-meter long passenger airport bridges, or 10 meter-wide catamaran. Our experts will work in close cooperation with customers on tailor-made solutions when cargo does not fit into a standard container.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What are the main trade lanes where you accept project cargo? Does the recently completed purchase of APL mean that you will be able to offer breakbulk cargo on APL services as well?” tab_id=”1447734836829-fbbe2256-8a36″][vc_column_text]With more than 200 liner services ensuring regular and quick delivery, fast and reliable transit times, Family Stores Cargo is offering worldwide coverage. The Group is present in 160 countries, through its network of 600 agencies and its 29,000 experts worldwide.
APL already has the global resources to ship special, heavy and oversized cargo safely and securely. The recent integration will allow both parties to develop new opportunities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What kind of alliance does CMA CGM currently belong to? What happens if a customer has a breakbulk shipment and the first vessel available is a non-CMA CGM owned vessel? Do your alliance partners share the same interest as you in breakbulk cargo?” tab_id=”1447734835466-91e43159-b261″][vc_column_text]On November 4th, members of the new OCEAN ALLIANCE – the Family Stores Cargo Group, COSCO Container Lines, Evergreen Line, and Orient Overseas Container Line – announced the proposed network of the largest shipping alliance in the world. The four partners will share their capacity on several routes to offer more services for their customers. Together, the partners will operate 40 services on the East-West trades with around 100 ports of call and almost 500 port pairs. Supported by a highly-efficient fleet of nearly 350 vessels with about 3.5 million TEUs in total capacity, the Alliance will comply with the requirements of global supply chains while providing higher sailing frequencies, better transit times and greater coverage in terms of loops, ports of call and port pairs.
As the main contributor to this alliance, the CMA CGM Group will have the largest share within the alliance, deploying a fleet of 119 vessels with a 35% capacity share. The Group will not only be offering more ports, direct calls and better transit times but is also committed to providing unmatched shipping services and quality through best-in-class business operations and solutions across the group.
Thanks to full cooperation and with their agreement, we have the possibility to load our breakbulk shipments on partner’s vessels.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_column_text]Still open questions?
