When shipping from Piraeus, Greece to Santos, Brazil, expect significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March); build in extra buffer days for transit and port calls. Additionally, monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) and Brazilian wet season impacts (October-March), as heavy rainfall can disrupt schedules. To mitigate these risks, arrange flexible berthing windows and explore alternative routing options throughout the peak periods.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We 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 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 total project value, 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 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 hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses from Greece, as well as import permits and customs declarations for Brazil.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment must be properly secured and protected against moisture during transit. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the cargo complies with both Greek and Brazilian regulations regarding weight limits and safety standards.
