Be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm months (August-October). Anticipate tight capacity and higher rates during the North American summer holiday peak (late June-early September); secure bookings 2-3 weeks in advance. Additionally, account for potential congestion and longer dwell times during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5). Adjust schedules closely to mitigate delays and ensure timely deliveries.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed 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 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 are best 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 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 may 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 power equipment are safest 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.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment require special handling due to their size and weight. It is important to ensure that the equipment is securely fastened and protected from saltwater exposure during ocean transport. Proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to prevent damage.
