Our Services > Moving from Malaysia The start of the next chapter in your life begins with a call to Crown Line to start the relocation process.Pre-move Survey You will be visited by a Crown Line Relocation Specialist. A detailed survey of what you are moving will be conducted. Our RelocationSpecialist will make special note of any items that you have concerns about or that will require special packing, crating or handling. A full explanation of the entire moving process will be given including packing, handling and loading techniques, packing time, transit time, customs regulations at destination and insurance considerations. Packing The following pictures of our crews in action demonstrate the most appropriate packing techniques to ensure a safe transit.
Loading For shipments that will occupy their own 20 foot or 40 foot steel shipping container, we will, wherever possible, load the container at theclient's residence. The container will then be sealed and hauled direct to the port. Container loading at residence reduces the handling of the shipment and also gives the client peace of mind as they can see their shipment being secured at residence. Where access at residence prohibits direct loading into the container or if a shipment is being sent under consolidation or as groupage, we will bring the shipment to our fully secured warehouse. In such instances a loading chart is completed at residence to document that all the packages have been removed. When the shipment arrives at our warehouse, the packages will be checked in to ensure that they have all arrived. Similarly when the shipment is eventually loaded into its shipping crate (liftvan) or container, the packages are "checked out" again to ensure that everything is present and correct. There are two important considerations when loading a shipment into a liftvan or container. First, a shipment must be loaded as snugly and compactly as possible in order to reduce the risk of displacement during transit. If the shipment moves within its liftvan or container during transit, damage is more likely to occur. Second is proper weight distribution of the packages within the container or crate. Loading from the floor of the container/crate up, the heaviest items should obviously be at the bottom and the weight of the packages gets progressively lighter as you progress. The lightest items eg lampshades will be loaded on top. Similarly, the weight of a shipment should be distributed evenly throughout the length and breadth of a container or crate. If one side of a container is loaded with heavy items and the other side with relatively light ones, crushing may occur even though there has been no displacement of the packages. Loading and unloading of containers from vessels as well as the lateral motion vessels can experience during heavy seas and ocean swells can exert additional gravitational force on the contents of a container so that the "heavy" side of the container will become even heavier when pressing against the relatively lighter side resulting in crushing. [Top] Shipping Crown Line works with established, reputable, forwarding and freight agents at all of Malaysia's main ports. We only use reliable sea andair freight carriers who offer regular services to transport our shipments. Pet Export  Crown
