Transporting Kongsberg Maritime equipment
Unless otherwise stated in the accompanying documentation, electronic,
electromechanical and mechanical units supplied by Kongsberg Maritime can be only
transported using methods approved for delicate and fragile equipment.
Prerequisites
Transportation methods approved for delicate equipment includes transportation by
road, rail, air or sea.
Context
The units are to be transported in accordance with general or specific instructions for
the appropriate unit(s), using pallets, transport cases, wooden boxes, or carton boxes
as appropriate.
Observe the packing instructions.
Note
Special local restrictions concerning air transportation may be applied to units
containing certain types of batteries. These units must be checked properly, and the
regulations must be investigated by the packer/shipper before the unit is dispatched.
Procedure
1 Ensure that all local transportation is done according to the same specifications as
for the initial delivery.
2 Make sure that the box containing the unit is kept dry at all times, and sheltered
from the weather.
It must not be subjected to shocks, excessive vibration or other rough handling. The
box will normally be marked with text or symbols indicating which way it is to be
placed. Follow the instructions provided, and make sure that the box is always
placed with its “top” facing upwards.
3 Make sure that the box is not used for any purpose for which it was not intended
(step, table, etc.).
In the absence of other information, no other boxes must be stacked on top of it.
4 Handle all boxes and units with care.
Note
Due to the nature of Kongsberg Maritime’s products, and the extensive use of
delicate electronic parts, all units and boxes must be regarded and handled as
fragile equipment.
