When shipping from Mundra, India to Guayaquil, Ecuador, anticipate significant delays during the southwest monsoon (June-September) due to port congestion and weather-related slow steaming; build in extra buffer days to your transit times. Additionally, arrange vessel space well in advance during the Diwali export peak (late September–mid November) to avoid tight bookings. During the year-end inventory build peak (September-December), plan for increased congestion and adjust cut-off times accordingly. Finally, track weather conditions closely during the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) to mitigate risks of delays.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands 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 air handling units must 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 heavy equipment typically calls for 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 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 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 industrial machinery are occasionally 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.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or health certifications specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. Additionally, it is important to comply with Ecuadorian customs regulations, which may require specific permits for heavy machinery.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as the rainy season in Ecuador from December to May, can impact port operations and shipping schedules. It is advisable to monitor weather conditions and potential delays that may arise due to rough seas or port congestion during this period.
