Wide over 2352MM shipment 40' Open Top & 20ft OOG Flat Rack Container Sea Freight from Shenzhen China to Morocco Professional Special Container Freight Forwarder – Out-of-Gauge & Breakbulk Experts

When your cargo exceeds standard dimensions — whether it's over-height, over-width, or over-weight — you need a freight partner who understands the complexities of out-of-gauge (OOG) shipping. Goodhope Freight delivers specialized Open Top (OT) and Flat Rack (FR) container solutions from Shenzhen, China, directly to Morocco's key ports, including Casablanca and Tanger Med.

Our expertise covers wide shipments exceeding 2352MM in width, heavy industrial machinery, and breakbulk cargo that simply cannot fit into standard dry containers. We handle every step — from vessel booking and port loading in China to Morocco customs clearance and final inland delivery. With a deep understanding of Moroccan import regulations, we ensure your OOG cargo moves smoothly through the Casablanca port terminal and reaches your project site without costly delays.

Morocco's growing infrastructure and energy sectors drive consistent demand for heavy equipment, transformers, wind turbine components, and construction machinery. Goodhope Freight's dedicated special container service bridges the gap between Chinese manufacturers and Moroccan project developers, offering reliable transit times, competitive ocean freight rates, and end-to-end logistics visibility.

What Types of Special Containers Are Available for OOG Cargo?

Not all oversized cargo fits the same container type. Goodhope Freight offers a versatile fleet of specialized equipment tailored to your shipment's unique dimensions and weight. Our most frequently deployed solutions for Morocco-bound OOG freight include:

Open Top Container (OT) – Ideal for over-height cargo that requires top-loading or side-loading via crane. The removable tarpaulin roof allows for easy stowage of tall machinery, steel structures, and large pipes. Available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, with internal heights that accommodate goods exceeding standard container clearance.

Flat Rack Container (FR) – Designed for over-width and over-weight cargo that cannot be enclosed. With collapsible end walls and heavy-duty flooring, FR containers support massive industrial equipment, generators, and pre-fabricated components. The 20ft FR handles exceptionally heavy loads, while the 40ft FR offers extended length for longer items.

Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Configuration – When cargo exceeds even OT or FR parameters, we deploy custom OOG stowage plans, combining flat rack units with additional lashing, dunnage, and vessel space allocation to ensure safe transit.

Container Specifications
  • 40ft Open Top (OT) – L:12.03m × W:2.35m × H:2.34m | Payload ~26.5t
  • 20ft Open Top (OT) – L:5.90m × W:2.35m × H:2.34m | Payload ~21.8t
  • 40ft Flat Rack (FR) – L:12.08m × W:2.44m | Payload ~39.0t
  • 20ft Flat Rack (FR) – L:5.90m × W:2.44m | Payload ~31.5t
  • Over-width capacity – up to 2352MM+ with special stowage
  • Over-height capacity – up to 2.8M with OT configuration

All equipment meets international shipping standards and is regularly inspected for cargo security.

Note: Each cargo type is evaluated individually for stowage planning, lashing requirements, and vessel compatibility.

Full Special Container Sea Freight Shipping Process

Shipping OOG cargo from Shenzhen to Morocco requires meticulous coordination at every stage. Our proven process ensures your shipment moves seamlessly from factory floor to Moroccan project site.

  1. Consultation & Cargo Profiling – We analyze your cargo dimensions, weight, and handling requirements to recommend the optimal container type and stowage plan.
  2. Vessel Booking & Space Allocation – Leveraging our long-term relationships with major shipping lines, we secure vessel space for your OOG container on the next available sailing from Shenzhen to Morocco.
  3. Pre-Shipment Documentation – Our team prepares all required export documents, including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin, tailored to Morocco customs requirements.
  4. Container Loading & Lashing – At the Shenzhen terminal, your cargo is carefully loaded into the OT or FR container using cranes and spreader bars, then secured with heavy-duty lashing and dunnage to prevent shifting during transit.
  5. Ocean Transit – The vessel sails from Shenzhen to Morocco, typically via the Suez Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope, with transit times averaging 30–35 days depending on the service route.
  6. Arrival & Morocco Customs Clearance – Upon arrival at Casablanca or Tanger Med, our local agent handles all import formalities, including customs declaration, duty assessment, and regulatory compliance checks.
  7. Inland Delivery & Final Mile – We coordinate trucking or rail transport from the port to your final destination across Morocco, ensuring your cargo arrives on time and in perfect condition.

Throughout the process, you receive real-time tracking updates and proactive status alerts from our operations team.

Frequently Asked Questions About OOG Shipping to Morocco

What are the main ports in Morocco for receiving OOG containers?
The primary ports for special container cargo are Casablanca (the largest commercial port) and Tanger Med (a modern deep-water port on the Mediterranean). Both have specialized equipment for handling out-of-gauge containers, including heavy-lift cranes and dedicated OOG storage areas.
Does Goodhope Freight handle Morocco customs clearance for OOG cargo?
Yes, we provide full customs brokerage services in Morocco. Our local agents prepare and submit all required documentation, including the customs declaration, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import permits. We also assist with duty assessment and tariff classification to ensure a smooth clearance process.
What documents are required for importing OOG cargo into Morocco?
Key documents include a valid bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and the customs declaration (Déclaration en Douane). For certain machinery, you may also need technical certificates, CE or equivalent compliance documents, and import licenses depending on the product category.
How long does sea freight take from Shenzhen to Morocco?
Typical transit times range from 30 to 35 days, depending on the shipping line and route. Direct services via the Suez Canal offer faster transit, while routes around Africa may take slightly longer. We provide accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the time of booking and update you throughout the voyage.
Can you deliver OOG cargo to inland locations in Morocco beyond the port?
Absolutely. We coordinate inland transport via trucking or rail to any destination in Morocco, including major cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes, and Tangier. Our local partners ensure your cargo is safely transported and unloaded at your project site or warehouse.
What are the weight and dimension limits for OT and FR containers?
For Open Top containers, typical limits are 26.5t (payload) for 40ft and 21.8t for 20ft. Flat Rack containers offer higher payloads — up to 39.0t for 40ft and 31.5t for 20ft. Dimensionally, we can accommodate over-width cargo up to 2352MM and over-height cargo up to 2.8M with special planning. Each shipment is assessed individually to ensure vessel and terminal compatibility.
How does Goodhope Freight handle cargo lashing and securing?
We follow strict lashing plans approved by the shipping line and terminal. Our team uses high-tensile steel chains, twist locks, and wooden dunnage to secure your cargo within the container. For flat rack units, we also utilize side lashings and end-wall reinforcements to prevent movement during rough seas.
Are there any restrictions on OOG cargo imports to Morocco?
Morocco applies standard customs regulations for industrial imports. Restricted items include hazardous materials, certain chemicals, and goods requiring special permits. We advise you to provide full cargo details during consultation so we can verify compliance and obtain any necessary approvals in advance.
