When shipping from Busan, South Korea to Port Said, Egypt, anticipate significant disruptions during the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and North Pacific Winter Storms (November-March). Add extra buffer days for potential delays due to typhoons and winter storms, and book vessel space well in advance, particularly during peak periods like Chuseok (late September-early October) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February). Monitor local agents to confirm operational hours during holidays, and plan for alternative routing options to mitigate congestion risks at the Suez Canal (November-February).

Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that water damage are covered, and retain inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment requires specialized handling due to its size and weight. Proper crating and securing methods must be employed to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, compliance with international shipping regulations for heavy machinery is essential, including ensuring that all equipment is properly labeled and documented for customs clearance.
Required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from South Korea. Import documentation for Egypt may include a Certificate of Origin, import licenses, and compliance certificates for machinery and equipment, which must be prepared to facilitate smooth customs clearance at both ports.
