Accurately measure your container's length, width, height, and weight. Determine if it's out of gauge (OOG) or suitable for standard containerisation. OOG shipments, exceeding standard dimensions (e.g., over 12 meters long or 2.9 meters wide), require specialized handling and may incur higher costs.
The optimal container type depends on your prefabricated freezer's dimensions and specific needs. Options include:
Shipping International has experience in handling OOG and refrigerated cargo.
Utilize specialized transport, such as a lowboy trailer, for secure port transit.
Your freight forwarder will arrange crane loading, using appropriate lifting gear.
The most suitable vessel and route will be selected, balancing transit time and cost. Shipping International will advise on options.
Shipping International manages customs clearance, ensuring regulatory compliance.
Arrange specialized transport from the destination port to the final delivery point.
Secure comprehensive cargo insurance to protect against damage. Discuss coverage with Shipping International.
Shipping costs vary significantly based on several factors:
Obtain detailed quotes from Shipping International for an accurate cost estimate. Expect a wide range depending on the factors above.
Ensure full compliance with refrigerant regulations. Incorrect handling leads to delays and penalties.
Arrange a suitable power supply during transit if needed to maintain freezer integrity.
Incorporate temperature monitoring devices for consistent internal temperature.
Use appropriate lashing and bracing techniques to prevent shifting and damage.
Maintain readily available 24/7 contact information for both the shipper and the freight forwarder. This is crucial for addressing unforeseen issues or emergencies during transit.
Proactive planning, route optimization, and strong relationships with port authorities and carriers mitigate delays (e.g., port congestion, adverse weather). Shipping International plays a key role.
