Breakbulk·NOVALOG UKRAINE

Breakbulk shipping to and from Ukraine

Non-containerized general cargo to Ukraine from the USA, Europe and Asia — loaded piece-by-piece, lashed and cleared by one accountable team.

Breakbulk cargo being handled at a Black Sea port terminal for shipping to Ukraine

NOVALOG is a licensed, bonded freight forwarder handling breakbulk shipping to Ukraine and breakbulk cargo from Ukraine through the Greater Odesa ports. We charter and consolidate non-containerized general cargo, route through the Black Sea maritime corridor, arrange war-risk cover and clear customs — one team accountable from booking to delivery.

Breakbulk shipping to Ukraine, handled end to end

For over 15 years NOVALOG UKRAINE has moved breakbulk shipping to Ukraine and breakbulk cargo from Ukraine for manufacturers, traders and project shippers across the USA, Europe and Asia. We are a fully licensed and bonded freight forwarder with our own terminal in Odesa, which means the vessel charter, the port-crane lifts, the Black Sea routing, the customs clearance and the terminal handling all sit with one accountable team — not a chain of brokers passing your cargo between them.

Breakbulk is non-containerized general cargo loaded piece-by-piece: it is neither stuffed into containers nor poured as bulk. Steel coils and plates, rollers, structures, vehicles, machinery and bagged or crated goods all travel this way when they are too large, too heavy or too awkward for a standard box. That makes breakbulk the part of the supply chain that rewards experience most — each piece needs the right lift, careful stowage and proper lashing to arrive intact.

Breakbulk cargo from the USA, Europe and Asia

We book and route breakbulk cargo to Ukraine on the lanes our customers use most: from the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Savannah), from Europe (Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Genoa) and from Asia (Shanghai and Ningbo). We charter dedicated vessel space for project lots and consolidate smaller breakbulk shipments where it lowers your cost. Cargo routes through Ukraine's Black Sea maritime corridor — the coastal lane linking the Greater Odesa ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi with Romania's Constanța and the Bosphorus.

Because we run our own 3,799 m² terminal in Odesa with two 50-tonne gantry cranes, 380 V reefer power and secure storage, your cargo arrives into a facility we control — not a third-party yard where visibility ends at the gate. Those cranes are also what let us handle the awkward loads that standard ocean networks decline: out-of-gauge (OOG) pieces, over-weight lifts and oversized structures that no flat-rack or box can take.

One team for booking, clearance and delivery

Every breakbulk booking with NOVALOG includes the parts that usually go wrong when they are split between vendors. Our nationally licensed, in-house customs broker clears import and export cargo. We arrange war-risk marine insurance on every voyage. And we plan multimodal backups — rail, road and the Danube river ports of Reni and Izmail — so a single disrupted sea call does not strand your shipment. From the first quote to final delivery, you deal with people who know your cargo and how it has to be lifted and lashed.

Tell us your cargo dimensions, the lift points, your Incoterms (FOB, CFR, DAP or DDP) and the lane you need, and we will come back with all-in pricing, a realistic transit window and clear terms within one business day.

FAQ

Questions shippers ask about breakbulk cargo to Ukraine

What counts as breakbulk cargo?

Non-containerized general cargo loaded piece-by-piece — steel coils and plates, rollers, structures, vehicles, machinery and bagged or crated goods. It is neither stuffed into containers nor poured as bulk, so it needs port cranes, careful stowage and lashing.

Can you still ship breakbulk to Ukraine during the war?

Yes. Ukraine's Black Sea maritime corridor and the Greater Odesa ports — Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi — remain open. We plan for disruption, keep multimodal backups and insure every leg.

How do you handle out-of-gauge and heavy pieces?

Our own Odesa terminal runs two 50-tonne gantry cranes for over-weight and out-of-gauge lifts. We plan stowage and lashing for each piece and consolidate or charter vessel space as the cargo requires.

Can you arrange customs clearance and insurance too?

Yes — our in-house customs broker clears import and export cargo, and we arrange war-risk marine insurance so the whole move sits with one team.
