Shipment Type

The shipment type will depend on the size and weight of the crates:

  • FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable if crates fit within a standard 20' or 40' container without exceeding weight limits.
  • OOG (Out of Gauge): Required if a single crate exceeds standard container dimensions or weight limits. Specialised handling and potentially Breakbulk shipping will be necessary.
  • Breakbulk: May be necessary if statues are too large or heavy for OOG handling, or if the shipment is too small to justify a full container. This is generally more expensive and less efficient.

Movement of Cargo

  1. Internal Transportation: Transport from origin to port using appropriate vehicles (trucks or specialised trailers for OOG cargo). Secure and protect cargo during transit.
  2. Port Handling: Cranes or forklifts will load crates onto the vessel. Specialised equipment and procedures will be used for OOG cargo.
  3. Ocean freight: Shipment overseas via container vessel (FCL or Breakbulk) or specialised vessel for OOG cargo.
  4. Destination Port Handling: Unload crates and transport to final destination using appropriate vehicles.
  5. Final Delivery: Deliver statues to consignee. customs clearance will be completed beforehand. Additional handling may be required for delicate or heavy statues.

Insurance Information

Adequate cargo insurance is crucial to protect against loss or damage during transit. Ensure you obtain coverage that reflects the full declared value of your statues. Shipping International recommends providing the declared value of your shipment.
