When shipping from Jebel Ali to Savannah, anticipate the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), allowing for contingency routings to accommodate potential delays. During Ramadan and Eid al Fitr (late March–late April and March-June), plan for reduced port operations and coordinate critical sailings well in advance. Additionally, expect congestion during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) and North America winter storms (December-March), ensuring buffer days are in place to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, 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 backup 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 a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be 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.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the equipment is securely packed and adequately braced to prevent movement during transit. Heavy machinery may require special lifting equipment for loading and unloading due to its weight and size. Additionally, consider any specific shipping regulations for oversized or hazardous materials that may apply.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from the UAE. Importers in the United States must also prepare a customs declaration and may need to provide additional documentation depending on the type of machinery being shipped, including compliance with U.S. regulations and safety standards.
