When shipping from New Orleans to Montreal via ocean, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm periods (August-October). Additionally, anticipate extended transit times due to North America Winter Storms (December-March) and extend delivery commitments accordingly. During the North American Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September), secure bookings early to avoid capacity issues. Finally, consider potential delays during the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) by prioritizing earlier sailings and flexible routing options.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
