Shipping Portable Renewable Charging Trailers: A Breakbulk Guide
Pre-Shipment Planning
Assess Dimensions & Weight
- Precise measurements (length, width, height) and weight are crucial for vessel selection and securing. Detailed specifications should be provided.
Port Selection
- Suitable UK ports include Felixstowe, Southampton, and Immingham. Factors to consider are heavy-lift capabilities, customs efficiency, and proximity to origin and destination.
Vessel Selection
- Multipurpose vessels are well-suited for Breakbulk and OOG cargo. Consider deck strength, draft, stability, and availability. Transit times should be confirmed.
Cargo Securing Plan
- A detailed plan complying with IMO/SOLAS regulations is required. Specify lashing materials (chains, straps, wedges). Visual aids (diagrams) are recommended.
Insurance
- Obtain comprehensive cargo insurance (e.g., All Risks, Institute Cargo Clauses). Appropriate coverage levels should be determined.
Documentation
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Bill of lading
- Certificate of origin
- Any required permits or certificates
