When planning shipments from Tangier Med, Morocco to Nashville, United States, expect potential delays due to Mediterranean and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March). Build in extra time for port calls and secure flexible berthing windows. During the Christmas retail peak (October-December), secure vessel space early to mitigate congestion.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 industrial fans must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents 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 industrial machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits 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 power equipment 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 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 heavy equipment are occasionally 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 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 essential to ensure that all items are securely crated or packaged to withstand the rigors of ocean transport. Additionally, equipment should be properly labeled, and any loose parts should be secured to prevent damage during transit.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Morocco. Import documentation for the United States may also include an entry manifest and customs declaration, along with compliance with U.S. regulations for machinery and equipment.
