Before Breaking Bulk (BBB)

What is Before Breaking Bulk?

Before Breaking Bulk means making freight payment before a shipment is discharged. In a normal circumstance, freight is paid after the delivery of goods. In the case of BBB, however, freight must be paid before the vessel is allowed to leave the port.

BBB is a prudent way of ensuring that shipowners get paid for the shipments they are transporting.
