When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Montevideo, Uruguay, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by building in extra buffer days due to potential flooding and delays. Expect increased congestion during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible routing. Additionally, be aware of cyclone risks in the South Atlantic (November-April), as they can disrupt schedules. Lastly, anticipate extended transit times during the coastal fog period (May-September) and the Western New Year holiday (December 20-January 5) due to reduced staffing and visibility issues.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We 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 Construction machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and Keep 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and 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 Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly crated to withstand ocean conditions. Additionally, due to the size and weight of these items, specialized handling equipment may be required at both the port of Navegantes and Montevideo to facilitate loading and unloading.
Shipping industrial machinery from Navegantes to Montevideo requires compliance with both Brazilian and Uruguayan customs regulations.
