Why choose expert BESS logistics
Deep knowledge and experience in handling BESS across global markets.
Comprehensive project management from origin to destination, including transport, warehousing, and last-mile delivery.
Adherence to global and local regulations for transporting hazardous materials, including lithium-ion batteries.
Proven processes to mitigate risks related to safety, delays, and handling of sensitive equipment.
Advanced digital platforms for shipment tracking, reporting, and proactive communication.
The reality of BESS logistics
Transporting BESS units isn’t just about moving cargo. It’s about managing risk and compliance, while ensuring precision is maintained at every stage.
Moving overweight BESS containers involves far more than standard transport. Delays or non-compliance can irreparably impact project delivery schedules and drive up costs.

Proper planning turn risks into predictable, manageable factors
Limited transport infrastructure in certain regions can mean BESS shipments face significant physical and time constraints. Sometimes, units must be stored separately from other DG cargo, often in third-party port areas.
When it comes to moving BESS goods, it’s crucial to apply for the required transport permits well in advance, as permit processing times can vary significantly from country to country. Having the necessary permits on hand before shipment is essential to avoid delays and ensure a smooth transport process.
Additionally, transit times are critical—BESS manufacturers typically recommend no more than 60 days from unplugging equipment to reconnecting it. Fortunately, our approach optimises transit times and ensures proper due diligence is done on your shipment’s routing. What’s more, digital tools like seaexplorer give you end-to-end transparency and increased predictability.
Compliance is non-negotiable—we ensure every regulation is met, with no exceptions
BESS units demand certified packaging, rigorous inner protection, and precise hazard labelling. Failing to classify these goods correctly risks regulatory breaches, causes delays, and creates significant safety hazards.
Transporting dangerous goods (DG) requires strict adherence to international regulations and certified handling at every stage. However, limited availability of DG-certified personnel and compliant carriers can create bottlenecks and risks in your supply chain.
While the classification, packaging, and labeling of dangerous goods remain the responsibility of the shipper, we verify documentation, coordinate safe and compliant transport, and ensure that all regulatory requirements are met without exception.
Customs clearance solutions that keep paperwork synced with your shipment
We integrate customs clearance directly into our logistics planning, streamlining clearance and keeping paperwork in sync with your shipment. From preparing for inspections to ensuring complete and compliant documentation, our approach minimises the risk of demurrage, detention charges, and other unforeseen expenses.
