Add buffer days to your schedules to reduce delays from port congestion and weather disruptions. Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance during peak periods, especially from July to October, to avoid capacity shortages. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, as delays can occur due to severe weather and holiday-related congestion (late December-January).

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates professional rigging. 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. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a detailed 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 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 Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by a dedicated policy, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup 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 Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper packaging and securing of the equipment to prevent damage during ocean transport. Additionally, heavy and oversized items may require special handling and equipment for loading and unloading at both the Sihanoukville and Atlanta ports.
The necessary documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific export permits required by Cambodian authorities. Import documentation for the United States may include an entry manifest and compliance with U.S. customs regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
