Shipping Large-Scale Solar Desalination Units (OOG Cargo): A UK-Focused Guide

Detailed Assessment: Engaging a Specialist Freight Forwarder

Shipping International works with experienced freight forwarders specializing in OOG/heavy lift project cargo. Precise dimensions, weight, center of gravity, detailed drawings, origin/destination ports, and infrastructure limitations are required.

Port Survey: Feasibility Assessment

A port survey assesses crane capacity, quayside limitations, and access routes to determine feasibility and identify challenges. Shipping International can assist in this process.

Transportation Planning: Selecting the Optimal Transport Method

The optimal transport method (heavy-lift vessel, specialized vessel, Breakbulk) is selected, and permits and approvals are arranged by Shipping International.

Packaging & Securing: Protecting Your Investment

Robust, custom-designed cradles, frames, or securing systems are crucial for protection against weather and damage. Shipping International can advise on appropriate packaging solutions.

Heavy-Lift Operations: Expert Handling

Heavy-lift equipment, riggers, and stevedores are arranged for safe loading and unloading by Shipping International.

Customs & Documentation: Compliance and Efficiency

Customs documentation, including permits for oversized/overweight cargo, is managed to ensure compliance. Shipping International handles all necessary documentation.

Insurance: Comprehensive Coverage

  • Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC): ICC A (all risks), ICC B (named perils), ICC C (limited coverage). ICC A is recommended for high-value, complex equipment like desalination units.
  • Other options: Additional coverage for specific risks (e.g., delay, war, strikes) should be considered. Shipping International can provide guidance on insurance options.

Monitoring & Tracking: Real-Time Visibility

Real-time tracking and updates provide complete visibility and control. Shipping International provides regular updates throughout the shipping process.

Delivery & Unloading: Safe and Secure Arrival

Safe unloading and placement at the destination are overseen by Shipping International.

Post-Shipment: Ongoing Support

Post-shipment services, such as on-site installation supervision, are available through Shipping International.

Key Considerations: Timing, Cost, and Risk Management

Allow ample lead time. OOG shipments are expensive; accurate budgeting is essential. Thorough planning and experienced partners mitigate risk. Shipping International can assist with all aspects of planning and risk management.
