Fast transit times and competitive rates for your Power Equipment cargo
Taiwan
China
The ocean route from Taipei to Ningbo is strategically advantageous for transporting industrial machinery and construction equipment due to its efficient maritime connections. This pathway enables the shipment of large and heavy machinery, which is essential for construction projects, without the constraints of overland transport. Additionally, the route benefits from lower shipping costs compared to air freight, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses looking to optimize their supply chain. The established maritime lanes also facilitate reliable and timely deliveries, crucial for maintaining project schedules.
Taipei boasts a modern port infrastructure equipped to handle bulky industrial machines, ensuring smooth loading and unloading operations. The port facilities are designed to accommodate large vessels and have specialized equipment for lifting heavy cargo, optimizing the handling of construction machinery. Similarly, Ningbo's port is one of the busiest in the world, with extensive capabilities for processing incoming shipments, including dedicated zones for industrial products. Both locations are well-connected to inland transportation networks, enhancing the overall logistics efficiency for further distribution.

When shipping from Taipei to Ningbo, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November), which can affect port operations and inland transport. Secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Build in extra buffer days for transit times and communicate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions during these peak periods.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging are covered, and Keep 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 Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import/export permits or certificates specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment.
Handling considerations include ensuring proper securing of equipment to prevent movement during transit, utilizing appropriate containers or flat racks for oversized items, and compliance with weight restrictions at the ports of Taipei and Ningbo.
