Shipping Military-Grade Modular Shelters from the UK
Assessment & Planning
Before shipping, Shipping International requires shelter dimensions (blueprints essential), certified weight, destination port, inland delivery address & accessibility, and budget. Any unique handling requirements should also be noted.
Choosing the Right Shipping Method
Shipping options include OOG flat rack (cost-effective, secure, needs specialized handling), OOG open-top (simpler loading/unloading, less weather protection), and Breakbulk (expensive, complex, for exceptionally large/unusual shelters). The choice depends on size, weight, and characteristics. Shipping International will advise on the most suitable method.
Securing & Packaging
Shipping International recommends using heavy-duty tie-downs, blocking & bracing (ISO 6683 compliance), weatherproof materials, and clear marking (weight, dimensions, handling instructions, hazardous material declarations – IMDG Code compliance).
Port Handling & Heavy Lift
Coordination with port authorities and stevedores ensures sufficient heavy-lift cranes, forklifts, and specialized equipment. Advance notification is crucial for Shipping International's planning.
Documentation & Permits
Shipping International handles the necessary documentation, including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificates of origin (if needed), export control documentation, and export/import permits for military-grade equipment. Customs regulations are followed.
Insurance
Comprehensive cargo insurance is available to cover loss, damage, and theft. Shipping International can provide information on insurance options.
Tracking & Monitoring
Real-time tracking via online portal provides updates on location and status. Shipping International provides access to this tracking information.
Delivery & Unloading
Inland transport (road, rail, specialized heavy-lift) is chosen based on cost, time, and accessibility. Heavy-lift equipment is arranged for safe unloading at destination by Shipping International.
