Shipping Portable Wind Farm Inspection Drones

Cargo Description

Several portable wind farm inspection drones, including drones, charging stations, spare batteries, and associated control and maintenance equipment. Packaging: Robust, custom-fit flight cases for shock and vibration protection.

Detailed Packaging Instructions

Drones: Each drone should be individually wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap, then placed in a padded compartment within the flight case. Secure with foam inserts to prevent movement. Consider using silica gel packets to absorb moisture.

Charging Stations: Wrap in anti-static bubble wrap and place in a separate, padded compartment within the flight case. Secure with foam inserts.

Batteries: Each battery should be individually wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap and placed in a dedicated, UN-approved battery packaging within the flight case. Clearly label each package with battery type and quantity. Ensure compliance with IATA Special Provision A67 and any relevant national regulations.

Control & Maintenance Equipment: Wrap all smaller items individually in anti-static bubble wrap and place them in a designated compartment within the flight case. Use foam inserts to prevent shifting during transit.

Flight Case: Ensure the flight case is properly sealed and latched. Clearly label the case with "FRAGILE," "HANDLE WITH CARE," and "ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT."

Shipment Type

Dependent on total volume and weight:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Most cost-effective if sufficient volume/weight for a 20' or 40' container. Cargo palletised and braced.
• OOG (Out of Gauge): If any item exceeds standard container dimensions. Requires specialized handling and potentially Breakbulk shipping.
• Breakbulk: For a small number of very large/heavy items. Loaded directly onto the vessel; least cost-effective.

Optimal shipment type is determined after assessing dimensions and weight. Shipping International will consult on this.

Incoterms Explanation

The Incoterms used will be determined based on the specific agreement between the buyer and seller. Common options include:

• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): The seller is responsible for all costs and risks associated with delivering the goods to the named place of destination. The buyer only pays the price agreed upon in the contract.
• CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): The seller is responsible for the cost of the goods, insurance, and freight to the named port of destination. Risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board the vessel.

Other Incoterms may be applicable depending on the specific needs of the transaction. Clarification is required to determine the appropriate Incoterms for this shipment.
