Shipping Multi-Layer Plastic Recycling Equipment

Shipping from & to the UK

This guide outlines the process of shipping multi-layer plastic recycling equipment, likely involving large and heavy machinery components. Shipping International typically handles such shipments using Full Container Load (FCL), Out of Gauge (OOG), or Breakbulk methods, depending on the equipment's dimensions and weight.

1. Assessing Your Equipment

• Dimensions and Weight of each component: Precise measurements are crucial for determining the appropriate shipping method.
• Disassembly Possibilities: Can the equipment be safely disassembled for easier packaging and transport? This can significantly impact cost and feasibility.
• Packaging Requirements: Determine the type of packaging needed to protect the equipment during transit (crates, pallets, etc.).

2. Choosing a Shipping Method

• FCL (Full Container Load): The most cost-effective option if the equipment fits within standard container dimensions after packaging and disassembly (if applicable).
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Necessary if the equipment exceeds standard container dimensions or weight. This requires specialized containers or heavy-lift vessels.
• Breakbulk: A last resort for exceptionally large or unwieldy equipment that cannot be handled by FCL or OOG methods. This is generally more expensive and complex.

3. Documentation and Permits

Ensure you have all necessary documentation, including:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading
• Any required export/import permits or licenses

4. Insurance

Protect your investment with adequate cargo insurance to cover potential damage or loss during transit. Shipping International can advise on appropriate insurance options.

5. Tracking and Delivery

Shipping International provides tracking information and manages the delivery process to your destination.
