The route from Taipei to Istanbul via ocean is strategically beneficial for the transport of industrial machinery and construction equipment. This maritime journey allows for the movement of large and heavy items that are often cumbersome to handle via air freight. Additionally, shipping by sea provides a cost-effective solution for bulk shipments, ensuring that manufacturers can maintain competitive pricing for their factory equipment. The route also leverages established shipping lanes, enhancing reliability and efficiency in delivery.
Taipei's port is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to accommodate the loading and unloading of heavy machinery, ensuring safe and efficient handling of construction machines. Similarly, Istanbul's port infrastructure is well-suited for receiving large cargo, with specialized cranes and equipment designed for the swift transfer of industrial machines. Both locations benefit from robust logistics networks, facilitating seamless connections to inland transportation options. This infrastructure supports timely distribution to various construction sites and manufacturing hubs across the region.

When shipping from Taipei to Istanbul via ocean, anticipate delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for potential port congestion and book vessel space well in advance, especially before peak periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December). Keep track of weather conditions and adjust cut-off times accordingly to reduce disruptions from Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March).

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers 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 Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We 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 industrial machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and Keep 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 Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators Are better 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 crucial to ensure proper crating and securing of the cargo to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, weight distribution must be considered due to the size of the equipment, and specialized equipment may be required for loading and unloading at the ports.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance. Additionally, import permits may be needed for certain types of industrial machinery and construction equipment in Turkey.
