Shipping Drilling Equipment to Chile: Oil, Gas, Geothermal & Water-Well Rigs

Transporting drilling equipment to Chile presents significant logistical challenges. The size and weight of these rigs necessitate specialist handling and meticulous pre-planning to ensure secure and efficient delivery. Ocean Cargo offers the expertise to navigate these complexities, keeping your project on schedule and within budget.

Addressing the Challenges of Drilling Rig Shipments

Drilling rigs often exceed standard container dimensions, demanding specialised transport solutions. Their complex structure requires secure fastening across multiple flat rack containers. Our team expertly manages this process, using proven techniques to minimise the risk of damage during transit. We utilise our extensive network of global partners to ensure your equipment receives the highest level of care throughout its journey.

Selecting the Right Transport Method: Sea or Air Freight?

The optimal transport method depends on several key factors: project timeline, equipment dimensions, and budget. Sea freight generally provides cost-effectiveness for large-scale projects, while air freight prioritises speed for time-critical operations. We analyse your specific needs to develop a tailored solution, often combining both sea and air freight for optimal results. This hybrid approach allows us to balance cost efficiency with the urgency of your project requirements.
