When shipping from Port Said, Egypt to Mexico City, Mexico, anticipate extended transit times due to Suez Canal congestion and Mediterranean winter storms (November-March). Build in buffer days for potential delays and confirm vessel bookings early, especially during peak periods like Christmas retail (October-December) and Ramadan (late March-late April). Keep an eye on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to avoid just-in-time arrivals, particularly during the Saharan dust season (June-September) and North America winter storms (December-March).

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 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 store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be 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 power equipment are safest 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.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment should be securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, heavy machinery may require specialized equipment for loading and unloading at both ports to ensure safety and compliance with handling regulations.
