When shipping from Naples, Italy to Bogota, Colombia, expect significant delays due to Mediterranean and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March); build in extra buffer days and secure flexible berthing windows. Additionally, consider potential congestion at the Suez Canal during peak periods (January-March) and adjust for the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid tight schedules. Lastly, confirm that all documentation is submitted well in advance during high-demand periods like Black Friday (mid-November to early December) to mitigate delays.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 industrial fans Should be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment 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 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 heavy equipment 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 air handling units 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 plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Additionally, a certificate of origin may be needed for customs clearance in Colombia.
