When moving machinery it is essential to be aware of the individual characteristics to best gauge the safest and most cost effective of shipment, with our comprehensive machinery knowledge we can advise you 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!

In order to compete in some markets it has become preferable to dismantle entire machines and pack them to shipping containers for shipment, once again our experience of the individual machinery and market pricing enables us to best advise you.

Many of our customers believe that the carrier or steam ship line that moves their goods will automatically cover them with insurance for loss or damages.

This is not the case, road transport companies generally hold a 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 in third party storage.

Under Maritime Law shipping companies tend to operate under Conditions of Carriage which limit their liability in cases of loss, damage or delay.

We strongly recommend you take out insurance against loss, damage or delay in transit and will be happy to assist you in arranging coverage.

We work with only the best companies, to ensure that, should your cargo be damaged, the service, speed and professionalism in which your claim is handled and settled is second to none.
