Protected handling of your important Construction Machinery cargo
Turkey
Uruguay
The route from Aliaga to Montevideo offers significant advantages for transporting industrial machinery and construction equipment. The ocean passage allows for the movement of large and heavy items that are often impractical to ship overland. Additionally, this maritime route can accommodate bulk shipments, ensuring that multiple pieces of factory equipment can be transported simultaneously, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. The reliability of ocean freight further supports consistent supply chain operations for businesses in the construction sector.
At the port of Aliaga, robust facilities are equipped to handle the loading and unloading of heavy machinery, ensuring safe and efficient operations. Montevideo, as a well-established port city, provides extensive infrastructure for receiving industrial machines, including specialized docks and experienced personnel. Both locations are supported by efficient logistics networks that facilitate the onward transportation of equipment to construction sites or manufacturing plants. This infrastructure ensures that the entire supply chain remains streamlined, from origin to destination.

When shipping from Aliaga, Turkey to Montevideo, Uruguay, expect significant delays due to winter storm activity in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic (November-March). Include extra buffer days for transit and port calls, and secure flexible berthing windows to mitigate disruptions. Additionally, monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) and adjust your routing as needed. During the South America fruit export peak (January-May), prepare for tight vessel space and longer dwell times, necessitating early bookings and contingency plans.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment 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 Loading and unloading are covered, and Keep inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment 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 HVAC equipment and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is crucial to ensure proper securing and bracing of the cargo to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, equipment may require disassembly for containerization, and all machinery should be cleaned to comply with international shipping regulations to avoid contamination.
The required documentation for customs typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and specific certificates such as the Certificate of Origin and any necessary import permits for industrial machinery and construction equipment. It is also important to check for any additional regulatory requirements that may apply to the specific type of machinery being shipped.
