Shipping Oversized Energy Recovery Units (ERUs) from the UK
Assess the ERU
Precisely Determine ERU Characteristics
Accurately determine the precise dimensions, weight, centre of gravity, and any unique features of your ERU. This detailed assessment is vital for selecting the most suitable transport method and obtaining the necessary permits. Consider any potential obstacles or challenges related to the ERU's specific design or construction.
Choose Transport Method
Select Optimal Shipping Solution
Shipping International offers various transport methods, considering factors such as the ERU's size and weight. Options may include flat rack containers, heavy-lift vessels, or other specialised transport solutions. The selection process involves careful consideration of cost-effectiveness, transit times, and the overall safety and security of the shipment.
Secure Necessary Permits & Approvals
Navigate Regulatory Requirements
Obtain all required permits for road, rail, and sea transport, including those for oversized loads. This process may involve navigating various regulatory bodies and complying with specific requirements for each leg of the journey. Thorough preparation and proactive engagement with relevant authorities are crucial to avoid delays and potential complications.
Prepare Detailed Documentation
Comprehensive Documentation for Seamless Shipping
Compile comprehensive documentation, including detailed specifications, engineering drawings, weight certificates, and all necessary permits. Accurate and complete documentation streamlines the shipping process and helps prevent delays or issues at customs or other checkpoints. Maintain organised records throughout the entire shipping process.
Arrange Heavy Lift & Specialised Handling
Expert Handling for Your Oversized Cargo
Shipping International can arrange for heavy-lift equipment, such as cranes and specialised lifting gear, for both loading and unloading. The selection of equipment should be based on the ERU's weight and dimensions, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the handling process.
Secure and Lash the ERU
Robust Securing Techniques for Safe Transit
Use robust securing and lashing techniques, such as specialised straps, chains, and blocking systems, to prevent movement during transit. The securing method must be appropriate for the chosen transport method and the specific characteristics of the ERU. Ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations and best practices.
Port Operations
Seamless Port Procedures
Shipping International coordinates all port activities, including customs clearance, stevedoring, and terminal handling. Effective coordination is essential for a smooth and efficient passage through the port.
Insurance
Comprehensive Cargo Insurance Options
Obtain appropriate cargo insurance, such as all-risks coverage or Institute Cargo Clauses, to protect against potential damage or loss. The level of insurance coverage should be commensurate with the value of the ERU and the potential risks involved in its transportation.
Monitor Shipment
