The site offers open access to some of its information and articles as well as members-only content and market data analysis.

The JoC Breakbulk division is comprised of business-to-business events, a bimonthly magazine, the weekly newsletter Breakbulk Newswire, and a website devoted solely to heavy-lift, project cargo and breakbulk commodity shipping worldwide.
