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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coordinate with port authorities and stevedores to ensure efficient and safe loading. This will likely involve specialised equipment, such as heavy-duty cranes.
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.
Obtain comprehensive cargo insurance to cover potential damage or loss during transit.
Arrange for specialised unloading and transport at the destination port, coordinating with local authorities and transport providers. Shipping International can assist with these arrangements.
Manage customs clearance procedures at both the origin and destination ports. Prepare all necessary documentation in advance.
OOG cargo surpasses standard container dimensions or weight limits, necessitating specialised handling and transport. This often entails obtaining specific permits and incurring increased costs.
