How to avoid the impact of sea freight in advance when buying beer equipment
Sea freight will go up and down as market change, obviously the price differs a lot in different time. Some may even have 1000USD price difference when you check it between this month and next month.
So how to effectively avoid the impact of sea freight change in advance when purchasing beer equipment will be an important topic for every customer.
First of all, planning ahead is very important, which means organize everything well in advance. Especially, beer equipment manufacturing and beer brewing is a special industry, it needs to invest much money and time on land, beer equipment designing ect. So you need to start plan if you want to own a bar or pub in next one or two years.
Of course beer equipment manufacturing time need to take into consideration when planning, it will takes about three months to finish.
And land sourcing will always need half a year, not to mention we still need time to decorate the brewery and bars.
The sea transportation is the most important factors except beer equipment manufacturing, land sourcing, decoration, its cost and delivery time affect much to your cost.
Now I would like to share certain factors which affect the sea freight market.
1.Seasons. Seasons is the top important factor that need to take into consideration.
Normally the price will rise since April. The highest price will take place on September to November as some additional fees will be added in hot season. Then it will reduce when cold winter comes.
Now we are clear that we need to think over in which month we want to ship our equipment? The Manufacturing time for turnkey beer system will last for about three months. Some location near from China, like Korea, Taiwan_China, Japan, Thailand ect, only need 3 or 7 days. But for Europe,North America, South America, Russia ect, the time need 20-40days.
So yes, now is the appropriate order time for beer equipment, from September to November, a hot season for beer equipment, come on!
2.Shipping time on sea Shipping time is much to do with destination location, voyage, ship company and transporting via other port or not.
First, we should check which port is near your location and which port have a convenient and fast transportation to the destination.
Then we need to choose a reliable ship company to the destination port.

3.Direct or no direct ship? Choosing a direct ship or no direct one differs on sea freight. If you are not in a hurry to receive equipment, no direct ship can help you save certain cost, meanwhile you need pay more patience to wait.
4.Other factors Surely, there are some other factors , like exchange rate, petroleum prices ect. They also have impact on sea freight, but not so much.
