For Marine Control Systems, given their sensitive and potentially heavy nature, Full Container Load (FCL) shipment is generally recommended. This offers the best protection during transit. A 20' or 40' dry container is suitable, depending on the volume of your cargo. If your Marine Control Systems are exceptionally large or heavy, exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits, Out of Gauge (OOG) shipment may be necessary. This requires specialized handling and potentially incorporates Breakbulk transport elements. Breakbulk alone is less likely unless the systems are extremely large and require individual handling and securing on a vessel.
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) such as those in Incoterms 2020, define responsibilities for costs and risks associated with shipping goods internationally. Choosing the correct Incoterm (e.g., EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) is crucial for clarity in contracts and avoiding disputes between buyer and seller regarding who is responsible for various stages of the shipping process, including insurance and customs clearance.
Shipping International is committed to environmentally responsible practices. Shipping International encourages the use of fuel-efficient vessels and supports carbon offsetting programs to minimize the environmental impact of its shipping services. Shipping International can advise on options to reduce your carbon footprint.
Potential problems during shipping include delays due to customs, port congestion, or unforeseen circumstances. Damage can occur due to improper handling or unforeseen events. To mitigate these risks, comprehensive insurance and proactive communication are recommended. Shipping International can assist should problems arise.
