Shipping Modular Fish Freezing Units

Detailed Cargo Specifications

Meticulously document your cargo: precise dimensions (length, width, height), total weight, and a comprehensive structural assessment detailing materials, strength, and load-bearing capacity. Include high-resolution photos from multiple angles.

Selecting the Optimal Shipping Method

Full Container Load (FCL)

Cost-effective if units fit within standard 20ft or 40ft container dimensions and weight limits.
Out of Gauge (OOG)

Specialised flat racks or open-top containers are necessary for units exceeding standard container dimensions.
Breakbulk Shipping

Consider for exceptionally large or heavy units unsuitable for containerisation. Involves individual unit handling.
Refrigerated Containers (Reefers)

Maintain optimal transit conditions for temperature-sensitive goods. Specify your required temperature range.

Essential Permits and Documentation

The necessary documentation typically includes export licenses, a commercial invoice, a packing list, a bill of lading, a certificate of origin, and OOG/Breakbulk permits (if applicable).

Secure Packaging and Securement

Proper packaging and securement prevent damage. For FCL, use appropriate dunnage and lashing techniques. OOG and Breakbulk shipments require specialised securement methods.

Potential Hazards and Mitigation

Seaworthiness Concerns

Ensure units are designed and packaged to withstand sea transit, including the potential for rough seas and extreme weather. Reinforce vulnerable areas and use appropriate waterproofing.
Sensitive Components

Identify and protect delicate components with specialised padding and bracing. Consider climate-controlled transport for sensitive electronics.
Corrosion

Use corrosion-resistant materials and protective coatings where appropriate.
Damage during Handling

Use robust packaging and mark fragile areas. Specify careful handling instructions on the packaging.
