Shipping Prefabricated Meat Cooling Units from the UK

Assessing Your Cargo

Dimensions, Weight, and Centre of Gravity

Accurately determine the dimensions, weight, and centre of gravity of each unit. Gather comprehensive specifications and drawings. This detailed information is crucial for planning efficient and safe transportation.

Containerisation or Breakbulk Shipping

Full Container Load (FCL) or Breakbulk?

Based on the dimensions and weight, determine whether a Full Container Load (FCL) in a specialised Oversized/Out-of-Gauge (OOG) container or Breakbulk shipping is more suitable. Shipping International's expertise can assist in this determination.

Necessary Permits and Documentation

Export Licenses, Customs Documentation, and Special Permits

Obtain all required export licenses, customs documentation (such as commercial invoices and packing lists), and any special permits needed for oversized/heavy cargo transport within the UK and at your destination. Regulations vary significantly between countries; ensure complete compliance with all relevant rules and regulations.

Packaging and Crating for Safe Transit

Protecting Your Valuable Investment

For FCL shipments, ensure proper bracing and securing within the container. For Breakbulk shipments, robust and protective crating is essential. Consider incorporating climate control measures to maintain product integrity.

Transportation to the Port

Specialised Transport for OOG Cargo

Arrange specialised transport for oversized cargo from the Manufacturing site to the port, adhering to UK road regulations. This may necessitate obtaining permits and employing escorts.

Port Handling and Loading Procedures

Efficient and Safe Loading onto the Vessel

Coordinate with port authorities and stevedores to ensure efficient and safe loading. This will likely involve specialised equipment, such as heavy-duty cranes.

Vessel Selection for OOG Cargo

Choosing the Right Vessel for Your Needs

Select a vessel equipped to handle OOG cargo and possessing appropriate securing arrangements. Consider vessel schedules and transit times. Shipping International can advise on suitable vessels.

Comprehensive Cargo Insurance

Protecting Your Investment Against Loss or Damage

Obtain comprehensive cargo insurance to cover potential damage or loss during transit.

Destination Handling and Transportation

Specialised Unloading and Transport at the Destination

Arrange for specialised unloading and transport at the destination port, coordinating with local authorities and transport providers. Shipping International can assist with these arrangements.

Customs Clearance Procedures

Streamlining Customs Procedures for Swift Clearance

Manage customs clearance procedures at both the origin and destination ports. Prepare all necessary documentation in advance.

Cost Considerations for OOG Shipments

  • Container type and size
  • Specialised transport costs
  • Insurance premiums
  • Port handling fees
  • Customs duties and taxes

Understanding Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo

OOG cargo surpasses standard container dimensions or weight limits, necessitating specialised handling and transport. This often entails obtaining specific permits and incurring increased costs.
