Precisely measure each container's length, width, height, and weight. Inaccurate measurements cause delays, extra charges, and damage. Use calibrated equipment and record measurements carefully. The weight includes the container, packaging, and contents.
Share dimensions, weight, origin, and destination with a freight forwarder specialising in aerospace cargo and OOG shipments. Shipping International can determine the best shipping method, arrange permits and documentation (customs clearance, airworthiness certificates), and handle all logistics. Choose a forwarder experienced in handling sensitive aerospace equipment.
Work with the freight forwarder to ensure proper packaging and securing to prevent transit damage. Packaging must protect against shock, vibration, and moisture. Securing methods prevent shifting or movement within the container. Specialised crates, cushioning materials, and tie-down systems might be required.
Choose appropriate origin and destination ports, considering handling capabilities for the shipment type, transit times, costs, and customs procedures. Consider port congestion and infrastructure.
Get adequate cargo insurance to cover potential losses or damage during transit. The policy should reflect the aerospace containers' and their contents' value.
Use the freight forwarder's tracking systems to monitor the shipment's progress. This allows for proactive issue resolution and ensures timely delivery.
