When shipping from Port Said, Egypt to Fortaleza, Brazil, anticipate longer transit times due to Suez Canal congestion (January-March) and build in extra buffer days during the Brazilian wet season (October-March). Book vessel space well in advance for the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and monitor closely with carriers to avoid delays from Eid al Fitr (late March-late April) and Eid al Adha (May-July) holidays. Consider potential disruptions from South Atlantic cyclones (November-April) and adjust cut-off times accordingly.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and protection against moisture during the ocean freight transit. Equipment should be disassembled if possible to fit into standard shipping containers and to reduce the risk of damage. Additionally, heavy machinery may require specialized handling equipment at both ports for loading and unloading.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable export licenses from Egypt. Import permits and compliance with Brazilian regulations, such as the NCM (Nomenclatura Comum do Mercosul) classification for industrial machinery, are also required for clearance in Fortaleza.
