Description

General cargo ships

In the field of maritime transport, general goods are goods that must be stowed individually. They appear on several bills of lading, each covering a different commodity. Unlike goods stowed in intermodal or bulk containers, such as oil or grain, these goods are stowed individually. General cargo vessels are often referred to as general cargo vessels. The term breakbulk derives from the expression breaking bulk – removing part of a ship’s cargo or starting the process of unloading the ship’s holds. These bulk goods are transported in bags, boxes, crates, drums or barrels. The breakbulk has been the most common form of freight for most of the history of shipping. Since the late 1960s, the volume of general cargo has declined globally due to the rise in containerisation.

Our readymade models are built by specialist artisan partners using a combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern manufacturing methods, including CNC machining, laser cutting, and 3D printing. This blend of craftsmanship and technology allows for high levels of detail and consistency across our range. Every piece is inspected for quality before dispatch.

Our readymade models are constructed from a combination of materials depending on the model and manufacturer. The hull and main structural components are typically built from wood – commonly lime, walnut, or mahogany – while masts, spars, and finer structural elements use a mix of wood and metal. Rigging is made from thread or cord, and smaller fittings such as cannons, anchors, and deck hardware are usually cast in metal or formed from resin. Some components may also incorporate laser-cut or 3D-printed parts where precision detailing is required. Display bases and name plaques are generally finished in wood with brass or metal hardware.
