When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Port Klang, Malaysia, anticipate significant delays due to Brazil's wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risks (November-April). Build in extra buffer days to schedules and avoid tight transshipment connections. Lock in vessel space well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to mitigate congestion. Monitor carriers for schedule updates and adjust cut-off times accordingly, especially during the Western New Year holiday (December 20-January 5) and the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September).

Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators Should be 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 Keep 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 Can sometimes 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 Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packed and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Heavy equipment should be loaded onto flat racks or in containers designed for oversized cargo. Additionally, securing the load with appropriate tie-downs and ensuring weight distribution is crucial to safely navigate the 15,912 km route.
Required documentation for shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from Brazil. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration and any necessary permits or licenses for machinery importation must be prepared for Malaysian customs.
