When shipping from Aliaga, Turkey to Altamira, Mexico, anticipate significant delays due to winter weather disruptions (November-March). Build in extra time for port calls and arrange flexible berthing windows. During the holiday season (December 20-January 5), prepare for reduced staffing and potential congestion, adjusting cut-off times accordingly. Additionally, monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) and consider alternative routes to mitigate delays.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and bracing of the cargo to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, oversized or heavy equipment may require specialized containers or flat racks, and it is important to consider weight distribution and loading equipment at the port of Aliaga.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export licenses. Additionally, specific import permits may be needed for Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, and compliance with both Turkish and Mexican regulatory requirements is necessary to facilitate customs clearance.
