When shipping from Port Said, Egypt to Port Klang, Malaysia, anticipate significant delays due to Suez Canal congestion, particularly from January-March. Add buffer days to your schedules and book vessel space early to mitigate risks. Additionally, during the Mediterranean winter storm season (November-March), consider potential port closures and slow steaming. Modify cut-off times and coordinate closely with local agents during Ramadan and Eid holidays (March-June) to avoid operational slowdowns. Lastly, monitor weather conditions closely during the monsoon season (May-September) to prepare for disruptions.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 HVAC equipment.
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 replacement cost, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and retain 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment typically requires special handling due to its size and weight. Proper crating, securing, and loading techniques must be employed to prevent damage during ocean transit. Additionally, equipment may need to be disassembled for shipping, depending on dimensional restrictions.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with export permits from Egypt and import permits from Malaysia, as well as adherence to customs documentation, which may involve certificates of origin and adherence to safety standards established by Malaysian authorities for industrial machinery.
