When shipping from Tangier Med, Morocco to Manaus, Brazil, anticipate significant disruptions due to seasonal factors. During the Mediterranean and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March), build in extra buffer days for transit and port calls to accommodate weather-related delays. Additionally, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may cause localized flooding and impact schedules. Arrange vessel space and trucking capacity early during peak retail periods (October-December) to mitigate congestion risks. Lastly, track weather forecasts closely, especially during cyclone risk months (November-April), to adjust routing as necessary.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 Generators Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that rigging are covered, and retain 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 hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup generators are safest 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 securing and protection against moisture and saltwater during the ocean freight journey. Equipment should be cleaned and free of soil to comply with international shipping regulations, and appropriate packaging materials should be used to prevent damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Morocco. Additionally, import duties and taxes may apply in Brazil, necessitating the submission of relevant import documentation to Brazilian customs authorities.
