Shipping a Portable Screening Silo (OOG Cargo) from the UK
Assess the Silo
Precise Specifications
Accurately determine your silo's dimensions (height, diameter, weight), material, and any unique features (fragile parts, electrical components, access points). This information will be needed by Shipping International.
Choose Your Shipping Method
Optimal Shipping Solution
For most portable screening silos, flat-rack OOG shipment is ideal. Breakbulk might be necessary for exceptionally large silos or ports with specific limitations. Shipping International will advise on the best approach.
Secure Necessary Permits and Documentation
Required Documentation
Shipping International will help obtain export licenses, customs documentation (commercial invoice, packing list), and any special permits for OOG cargo (phytosanitary certificates if needed).
Prepare the Silo for Transport
Preparation Methods
Remove loose parts, secure access points (protective covers or seals), and consider protective coatings (anti-corrosion, weatherproofing). Shipping International will offer guidance.
Loading and Securing
Secure Transport
Heavy-lift equipment will load the silo onto the flat rack or Breakbulk vessel. Secure lashing and bracing (chains, straps, wooden supports) are vital to prevent transit damage. Shipping International manages this.
Transportation
Ocean Freight and Inland Trucking
Shipping International arranges Ocean freight, inland trucking (to/from ports), and any needed handling equipment.
Insurance
Cargo Insurance Options
Comprehensive cargo insurance protects against damage or loss. Shipping International provides options like all-risks and Institute Cargo Clauses.
Customs Clearance
Import/Export Procedures

Delivery
Final Destination Delivery

Important Considerations
Port Limitations
Some ports restrict OOG cargo handling. Shipping International identifies suitable ports.
Weather Conditions
Adverse weather affects shipping schedules and safety.
Cost
OOG shipments cost more than standard containerised shipments.
Lead Times
Allow ample time for planning, documentation, and transport. Delays from port congestion or weather are possible.
