When shipping from Jeddah to Buenos Aires, prepare for potential delays due to the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) and add buffer days for weather-related disruptions. During Ramadan and Eid holidays (late March–late April and March-June), consider reduced operational hours at ports, necessitating additional time for customs and clearance. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons (January-May and September-December) to avoid congestion and ensure timely deliveries. Lastly, monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) to adjust schedules as needed.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 drying agents 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 control permits 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 rigging 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 air handling units 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.
Proper handling of industrial machinery and construction equipment requires securing the cargo to prevent movement during transit. It is essential to use appropriate crating and dunnage, considering the weight and dimensions of the machinery. Additionally, ensure that equipment is cleaned and free of soil to comply with international shipping regulations.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Saudi Arabia.
