When moving machinery it is essential to be aware of the individual characteristics to best gauge the safest and most cost-effective shipment, with our comprehensive machinery knowledge we can advise you on the best possible form for the machine to be shipped in.

By taking the time to dismantle accessories from the machine and shipping them loose or by packing the parts into shipping containers we can save you money!

To remain competitive in certain markets, it has become increasingly advantageous to disassemble entire machines and pack them into shipping containers for transport. Our knowledge of various machinery and market pricing allows us to provide you with the best guidance in this process.

Many of our customers believe that the carrier or steamship line that moves their goods will automatically cover them with insurance for loss or damages. However, this is not the case, road transport companies generally hold limited coverage however ocean transport is not covered unless you the cargo owner arrange insurance coverage.

It should never be assumed that another party has made the necessary arrangements for you and expect that your goods are automatically insured on an ‘all-risks’ basis whilst in transit or third-party storage.

Under maritime law, shipping companies tend to operate of Carriage that limits their liability in cases of loss, damage, under Condition or delay. We highly advise obtaining insurance to protect against loss, damage, or delays during transit, and we are more than willing to assist you in arranging this coverage.

We collaborate exclusively with top-tier companies to ensure that, should your cargo be damaged, the handling and resolution of your claim are executed with exceptional service, speed, and professionalism.
