Cargo Description:

Prefabricated Cold Food Transport Units

Dimensions: Length: 10ft, Width: 8ft, Height: 6ft

Weight: 5000kg

Shipment Type:

The most suitable shipment type depends on the dimensions and weight of your prefabricated cold food transport units. Shipping International will assess this.

FCL (Full Container Load):

If your units fit within standard shipping containers (e.g., 20ft or 40ft), FCL is the most cost-effective option. Shipping International will assess the feasibility of FCL based on your provided dimensions and weight.

OOG (Out of Gauge):

If your units exceed standard container dimensions, OOG shipment will be necessary. This requires specialized handling and transportation, potentially involving Breakbulk or flat rack containers. Shipping International will advise on the most appropriate OOG solution.

Breakbulk:

Breakbulk shipment is generally less cost-effective and only considered if the units are exceptionally large or require specialized handling not accommodated by containers or OOG methods. Shipping International will discuss this if other options are unsuitable.

  1. Provide the exact dimensions and weight of your units, along with your desired shipping dates and destination.
  2. Shipping International will assess the most suitable shipment type and provide a detailed quotation, including all costs and timelines.
  3. Shipping International will handle all necessary bookings and documentation, including customs clearance.
