The ocean route from Newark to Altamira offers significant advantages for transporting industrial machinery and construction equipment. This maritime pathway allows for the movement of large, heavy machinery that may not be feasible via other transport methods. Additionally, shipping by ocean provides cost efficiencies, making it an ideal choice for companies looking to optimize their supply chain for factory equipment. The expansive cargo capacity of ocean vessels ensures that multiple units can be shipped at once, reducing the frequency of shipments.
Newark boasts a robust port infrastructure equipped to handle oversized cargo, making it a strategic departure point for industrial machines. The facilities include advanced loading and unloading technologies that streamline the handling of heavy equipment. Similarly, Altamira is well-prepared to receive such shipments, featuring deep-water access and specialized terminals designed for construction machinery. This infrastructure supports efficient logistics operations, ensuring that both origin and destination can accommodate the demands of heavy cargo transport.

When shipping from Newark, United States to Altamira, Mexico, prepare for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm months (August-October). Additionally, prepare for increased congestion during the North America Winter Storms (December-March) and the Back to School demand peak (late July-September). Confirm vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to avoid delays. Monitor potential weather disruptions and ensure flexible routing options throughout the year.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, work with 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 must be protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any regulatory approvals 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 industrial machines.
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 Full value, confirm that water damage 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans 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 limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, specialized handling equipment such as cranes or forklifts may be required during loading and unloading. Proper securing of the cargo is essential to prevent movement during transit, and containers must be suitable for heavy loads.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, export declaration, and any necessary permits or certifications for the machinery being shipped. Additionally, compliance with both U.S. export regulations and Mexican import regulations is necessary to ensure smooth customs clearance.
