PARTIAL DISMANTLING OF CARGO TO BE PACKED
7.1.1.001 BUYER shall have the right to request SELLER to partially dismantle the CARGO for transportation
purposes, at SELLER’s cost.
7.1.1.002 In any case, CARGO shall only be dismantled by SELLER after BUYER’s approval.
7.1.1.003 Dismantling of the CARGO may be necessary in order to:
a) Enable handling of the packaged CARGO.
b) Reduce the volume to be packaged.
c) Protect protruding or fragile construction components.
d) Avoid damage to the packing by the CARGO itself.
PADDING OF FRAGILE PARTS
7.1.2.001 Often, cargoes as electronic products, switching modules and micro mechanical products, are particularly sensitive to mechanical stresses during transport. They shall therefore be protected by SELLER against damage through knocks, jolts or vibrations by using suitable padding.
7.1.2.002 Padding can also be used to guard protective films against perforation and friction damage caused by
sharp corners of the packaged cargo or other protruding elements.

soiling agents.
7.1.5.002 Cooling aggregates and systems holding liquids shall be purged before packaging. Containers, voids and piping systems shall be dried and hermetically closed. SELLER shall inform BUYER of the presence of such remaining liquids and their quantity.
ANTI-CORROSION MEASURES
7.1.6.001 If SELLER has provided anti-corrosion measures for the transport, SELLER shall inform BUYER about
the type and brand of the protection used.
7.1.6.002 It is advisable not to include any refilling gases of above mentioned type, in separate bottles, to avoid a long process to obtain permits for chemicals. SELLER shall be in the position to source it locally, if necessary. Nevertheless, this should be agreed by the PARTIES during the bidding phase.
INTERNAL PACKAGING
7.1.7.001 SELLER shall guarantee that the internal packaging measures do not have negative consequences
for the CARGO to be transported.
7.1.7.002 Whenever required and, as agreed during bidding stage with BUYER’s Engineering department,
SELLER shall include any of the internal packaging methods below.
7.1.7.003 The choice of a preservation method shall take into account the characteristics of the cargo to be
transported. Three methods can be used for the preservation of packaged CARGO:
a) Use of desiccants;
b) Use of protective films; and
c) Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) method.
7.1.7.1
DESICCANTS
7.1.7.1.001 According to DIN 55473, desiccants are used to protect the packaged cargo against air humidity during transport and stowage in order to inhibit corrosion, attacks by mould and similar.
7.1.7.1.002 For this purpose, cargo is inserted into a tight outer packaging after having been enclosed in a sealed film in which the air is dehumidified to the extent that the remaining level of relative humidity cannot cause atmospheric corrosion during transport and storage.
“This document is property of Técnicas Reunidas. Full or partial reproduction without written permission is strictly forbidden.” 17
ANNEX D-PACKAGING, MARKING & SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
Rev. 0 Nov 2023
7.1.7.1.003 The drying of the remaining air in the protective film coating is achieved by so-called desiccants or moisture absorbers according to DIN 55473. Due to its large surface area, they can attract and bind air-borne water molecules on their surface structure and dehumidify the air. The dryness level shall be maintained at a constant level of ≤ 40% RH. Below this threshold all corrosive processes based on water condensation effects shall be inhibited, as the available amount of water needed for the corrosion process to function is not present anymore.
7.1.7.1.004 The required number of desiccants shall be calculated in accordance with DIN 55474.
7.1.7.1.005 The sealed film enclosure consists on vapor barrier material. Single sheets shall be heat-sealed
together for oversized cargoes.
7.1.7.2
PROTECTIVE COATINGS
7.1.7.2.001 This method involves applying a protective coat directly after the cleaning and drying of the cargo to
be packaged. A suitable coating product is applied to the surface susceptible to corrosions.
7.1.7.2.002 These products form a coat on the surface. They shall be diluted with a solvent, white spirit or similar, even water, in order to make them usable. They are applied by immersion, brushing or spraying on. The solvent evaporates leaving a more or less solid coat. This layer stops corrosive elements in the air, such as water and oxygen from reaching the metal surface. According to its specifications, they can remain active during a few days (pre- or interim preservation) or a few years (final preservation). Normally, the removal of the protective coating from the packaged cargo will be necessary at the end of the transport and storage period.
7.1.7.3
VOLATILE CORROSION INHIBITOR METHOD (VCI METHOD)
7.1.7.3.001 The VCI method functions through a vapor phase, i.e. the production of some type of protective atmosphere within the sealed protective enclosure. VCI molecules evaporate from the carrier material such as paper, films, foams or powders and saturate the surrounding air.
7.1.7.3.002 They “cover” the surface of materials threatened by corrosion. The molecules form a protective film
on the layer of oxides that is present on all metal surfaces and inhibit corrosive processes.
7.1.7.3.003 A wide range of different VCIs are available. They differ in their protective effect on iron and non-iron metals as well as their alloys. Each single active agent is generally suited for one metal or one alloy. Therefore, they are often combined to offer a larger protection range.
7.1.7.3.004 Prior checking with the VCI supplier may be required. Final removal of VCI is not required.
INTERNAL MONITORING SYSTEMS
7.1.8.001 SELLER shall guarantee that the internal monitoring systems do not have negative consequences for
the CARGO to be transported.
7.1.8.002 Whenever required and, as agreed during bidding stage with BUYER’s Engineering department,
SELLER shall include in its scope any of the existing monitoring systems as agreed at such stage.
7.1.8.003 Devices to record shocks and vibrations shall be used for mechanical and electrical equipment such
as compressors, turbines, generators, motors, transformers, etc.

Rev. 0 Nov 2023
7.1.8.1.001 Humidity indicators are mainly used for long term storage together with desiccants (see section
7.1.7.1).
7.1.8.1.002 They show if the relative humidity values have passed a certain admissible threshold in a watertight
and water vapour tight packaging.
7.1.8.1.003 Humidity indicators are calibrated at a temperature of 20 °C.
7.1.8.2
SHOCK INDICATORS
7.1.8.2.001 Shock indicators are available for various levels of sensitivity.
7.1.8.2.002 A shock exceeding the limit value is indicated by an irreversible discoloration of the indicator.
7.1.8.2.003 These indicators are mainly used for smaller packages as they are more susceptible to suffer from
shocks.
7.1.8.2.004 In addition, a stick-on label can clearly warn of the presence of a shock indicator on the packaging.
7.1.8.3
TILT INDICATORS
7.1.8.3.001 Tilt indicators are mainly used for packages that are smaller and/or at risk through tilting.
7.1.8.3.002 An indicator is irreversibly discoloured when a tilting angle has been exceeded.
7.1.8.3.003 In addition, a stick-on label can clearly warn of the presence of a tilt indicator on the packaging.
7.1.8.4
DEVICES TO RECORD SHOCKS AND VIBRATION
7.1.8.4.001 After prior agreement with BUYER these devices can be included in SELLER’s scope with the
packaging to monitor transport stresses.
7.1.8.4.002 These types of systems are compulsory for mechanical and electrical equipment such as turbo-
generator, transformers, compressors and turbines.
7.2 CONVENTIONAL LOADS
7.2.001 In order to allow maximum stuffed capacity of maritime box containers, overall package dimensions
should, when feasible, be kept within the following figures:
a) Length: 5.8 m (20’ box) or 11.8 m (40’ box) or entire submultiple;
b) Width: 2.25 m or entire submultiple; and
c) Height: 2.2 m or entire submultiple.
7.2.002 However, to minimize the need for exceptional transport, packaging shall, unless dimensions and weights
are binding, observe the limitations indicated in the definition of CONVENTIONAL LOAD.
7.2.003 SELLER shall provide instructions on how to correctly unload materials loaded into containers at their premises, in order to have the proper unloading tools and avoid possible HSE incidents during unloading operations at destination.

b) furnishing to BUYER the drawing(s) indicating overall dimensions, with the estimated total weight of the packed equipment or part of equipment concerned and a method statement indicating all SUPPLY CHAIN actions in BUYER’s scope up to the place of delivery; and
c) obtaining BUYER’s final approval to the start of manufacturing.
7.3.002 Should SELLER fail to observe these above conditions or provide BUYER with erroneous information in this regard, SELLER shall bear all the consequences arising therefrom since the dimensions of oversized goods are extremely critical as inaccuracy may delay movement and create excessive costs and/or damage to the cargo.
7.3.003 Actual weight and dimensions need to be provided by SELLER to BUYER as soon as possible in advance (between the final as-built drawing and two (2) months before the shipment), so that the shipping plans can be changed if necessary with a minimum of delay or disruption.
7.3.004 In case the equipment should require saddles or particular lifting points and/or any specifically designed lifting tools, they shall be detailed by SELLER at bidding stage and included in SELLER’s scope, unless otherwise indicated by BUYER.
7.3.005 In case the equipment should require during the SUPPLY CHAIN any GPS tracking devices or commercial videos need to be shot during operations or any kind of oversized banners need to be affixed to it, the requirements shall be agreed between BUYER and SELLER,

- DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS
Capitalized words and expressions in the wording correspond with definitions. All definitions and acronyms used in this document are defined in the Annex A of the PURCHASE CONDITIONS and shall be applicable to this document accordingly.
- INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Pipes are fabricated in several materials, diameters and lengths, including different alloys of metal and plastic in different lengths and schedules, coated or not. Due to the specific characteristics of pipes (low friction, rolling materials, etc.), proper LASHING and securing of this type of cargo is critical in order to avoid piping rolling around. Therefore, these materials need to be sufficiently restrained using specific LASHING and securing methods to limit their movement effectively.
In order to avoid or minimize transportation damages, pipes shall be handled at all times in a manner that will not cause excessive stress, dents, nicks, gouges, permanent bends, ovality, disbondment of coating or any other damage to the pipe, pipe end bevels or pipe coating.
