April 20-22, 2026 New Orleans, LA
JOC Breakbulk Conference & Exhibition
Breakbulk and project demand is returning to the sector after geopolitically-induced slowdown. Specialized carriers are optimistic about 2026, while shipper expectations vary within industry sectors. Oil and gas, power, mining and metals are trending positively, while chemicals and renewables are quieter.
Project and breakbulk cargo shippers tell the Journal of Commerce that while uncertainty and chaos will continue into the first half of 2026, US tariffs and fees will not be the only destabilizing forces. Unpredictability and the inability to plan have been added to the melee. The ability to recalibrate and to find new sourcing, new industry partners and new approaches to counter the risks of unpredictability have never been more important.
After a stagnant 2025, when many shippers were either scrambling to adapt sourcing or waiting out rapid-fire announcements and tariff changes, projects are reaching final decisions once again. Cargo demand for 2026 is particularly strong for oil and gas, power and energy storage solutions.
April’s Journal of Commerce Breakbulk and Project Cargo Conference is still months away and we lack a crystal ball for predicting the future, but we do know we will bring together breakbulk and project cargo shippers, ocean and land-based specialized carriers, project forwarders, ports and terminals, and other breakbulk supply chain service providers in New Orleans. From April 20-22, we will pick our way through this complex industry and the logistics opportunities and challenges that face the breakbulk and project cargo logistics supply chain.
Conference sessions will include discussions with subject matter experts on geopolitics, energy and the MPV fleet, in-depth panel sessions, focus sessions and our popular interactive project cargo case study. Stellar high-level networking, as always, will be the lifeblood of the event. And, after a year of analysis and calibration, we are excited to announce that we will be officially launching the Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Index,
We invite everyone to join us in New Orleans, where, together, we will tackle the issues head on at the world’s most impactful breakbulk and project cargo industry event.
