Assessment & Planning

  • Dimensions & Weight: Obtain precise measurements (length, width, height) and weight of the annealing oven, including the centre of gravity.
  • Destination Port & infrastructure: Identify the receiving port's capabilities for handling oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. Confirm crane capacity and available space.
  • Shipment Type: Determine the most suitable shipment method (FCL, OOG, Breakbulk).
  • Route Survey (if necessary): For exceptionally large or heavy ovens, a route survey might be required.

Documentation

  • Detailed Specifications: Prepare comprehensive documentation, including dimensions, weight, the centre of gravity, material composition, and handling requirements.
  • Lifting Plan: Provide a lifting plan detailing safe lifting points and procedures.
  • Seaworthiness Certificate (if required): For Breakbulk shipments.
  • Export/Import Licenses: Secure any necessary licenses.
  • Insurance: Obtain adequate cargo insurance.

Packaging & Securing
