Precise measurements (length, width, height, weight) and centre of gravity calculations are essential. Detailed drawings are required.
Specify the precise port of loading and discharge, ensuring accessibility for heavy-lift equipment is considered.
A pre-shipment survey by a qualified surveyor is necessary to verify dimensions and assess the incinerator's condition.
The optimal shipping method (FCL, OOG, Breakbulk) depends on size and weight. Most incinerators will require OOG or Breakbulk shipping.
Efficient route planning is crucial, considering transit times and potential restrictions such as canal size and bridge clearances.
Shipping incinerators requires adherence to stringent environmental regulations. Permits may be needed for the transport of hazardous materials, waste disposal, and to mitigate potential air and sea pollution. Compliance with MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) and other relevant international and national regulations is mandatory. Specific requirements vary by country and the type of incinerator.
Robust protection against transit damage is vital. This may involve custom-built crates, specialised padding, and weatherproofing.
Clearly marked designated lifting points ensure safe handling by heavy-lift equipment.
Secure the incinerator firmly to a flat rack or Breakbulk platform using appropriate lashing materials and techniques. Additional bracing may be necessary for enhanced stability.
Comprehensive documentation is required, including dimensions, weight, centre of gravity, material composition, and details of any hazardous materials.
A detailed packing list specifying the contents of each crate or package is essential.
The bill of lading is the primary shipping document outlining the terms of carriage.
Adequate cargo insurance is necessary to cover potential damage or loss during transit.
Obtain all necessary export/import permits and licenses, including any hazardous materials permits and environmental permits.
Notify all relevant parties (shipping line, port authorities, etc.) well in advance regarding the OOG cargo shipment.
A detailed emergency response plan must be in place to address potential accidents or incidents during transport. This should include procedures for dealing with spills of hazardous materials, fire, and other emergencies. Contact information for emergency services in all relevant locations should be readily available.
Arrange for heavy-lift equipment at both loading and discharge ports.
Specialised transport vehicles may be required for inland movement.
Coordinate with port authorities to ensure smooth handling and prevent delays.
Ensure all necessary customs documentation is prepared and submitted in advance.
Compliance with all relevant customs regulations in both exporting and importing countries is mandatory.
The cost of shipping an industrial incinerator varies significantly based on size, weight, distance, shipping method, and specific regulatory requirements. A general breakdown includes:
Shipping International can provide a cost estimate.
Arrange for suitable equipment and personnel for on-site handling and installation at the final destination.
