Secure handling of your important Industrial Fans cargo
Indonesia
China
The ocean route from Surabaya to Shekou is ideal for transporting industrial machinery and construction equipment due to its extensive shipping lanes and capacity for large cargo. This pathway allows for the safe and efficient movement of heavy-duty machines, ensuring they arrive in optimal condition. Additionally, the maritime transport offers a cost-effective solution for bulk shipments, making it a preferred choice for businesses in the construction sector. The route also minimizes the risk of damage often associated with overland transport.
Surabaya boasts a well-equipped port with modern facilities capable of handling large volumes of industrial goods, ensuring smooth loading and unloading processes. In Shekou, the port infrastructure is equally robust, featuring advanced container handling systems that facilitate efficient transfer of construction machinery. Both locations are supported by strong logistical networks, including warehousing and transportation services, which enhance overall supply chain efficiency. This infrastructure supports timely and reliable delivery for businesses relying on heavy machinery.

When shipping from Surabaya, Indonesia to Shekou, China, account for the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) which can cause heavy rainfall and port congestion; add buffer days to schedules. During the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), build in extra buffer days for potential port closures. Additionally, reserve vessel space well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid tight capacity. Finally, expect reduced operations during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and adjust sailing schedules accordingly.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with 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 moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers 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, waybill, and any regulatory approvals 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 replacement cost, confirm that water damage 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 concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans 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.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is crucial to ensure that items are securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Specialized handling equipment may be required due to the weight and size of these items. Additionally, securing the cargo to prevent movement during transport is essential.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific certificates related to the machinery or equipment, such as export permits or compliance certificates for Chinese regulations. It is important to ensure all documents are accurate and complete to facilitate smooth customs clearance in both Indonesia and China.
