Breakbulk Shipper Group
Separate from the Breakbulk Shipping Intelligence subscription is an exciting and groundbreaking new initiative designed to place a shipper moving breakbulk cargo and/or project cargo at the nexus of developing breakbulk news and logistics industry conferences. At the center of the Breakbulk Shipper Group is participation in the Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Shipper Index survey. All data is provided anonymously, and no rates or prices are discussed. The data from this survey is used to produce the Index that we will launch in New Orleans in April. In return for participating in this survey, on a no-fee basis we would send you our Breakbulk Quarterly Intelligence Report, plus a monthly report on the Index findings and invite you into our Teams-based shipper community.
