How to Ship Heavy Machinery From USA to Bahrain
If you are looking to have heavy machinery such as construction vehicles shipped to Bahrain from the USA, enlist help from the team at Ship Overseas. We would be happy to match you with a free quote if you provide us with the Year/Make/Model, Pickup Zip Code or Departure Port, and Destination Country, in this case, Bahrain.
Many of our clients are construction companies, manufacturers, and private agencies like yours. Rest assured, we know the unique requirements you have when shipping heavy machinery to Bahrain.
If you would like, we can provide professional dismantling services at an extra cost so your equipment can fit more easily into the containers. You would save on import duty fees because this is considered to be shipping parts rather than fully assembled machinery.
Departure and Arrival Ports
The eight departure ports from the USA to Bahrain include:
The one arrival port in Bahrain is Khalifa Bin Salman, which is where your designated pick-up person will retrieve your equipment upon arrival. They must bring cash with them to pay for Tax or Duty. Khalifa Bin Salman sits close to the Bahrain International Airport, which is in the middle of the Arabian Gulf. This port happens to be the largest ocean-going container vessel port and a major regional distribution center port.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Heavy Machinery to Bahrain?
This is impossible to say with any certainty in general, as equipment of this size and scope will vary greatly by type and weight. On top of that, machinery like this doesn’t come in standard sizes like cars do (i.e., compact, mid-sized, full-sized, small SUV, large SUV).
Estimated Transit Time
It takes two months from West Coast USA through the Panama Canal, and seven to eight weeks from the East Coast.

Shipping Method for Shipping Heavy Machinery to Bahrain
Our shipping vessels depart weekly from all eight U.S. seaports listed above to the one port in Bahrain. The shipping method we use to get your machinery from the USA to Bahrain is the RoRo method.
RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
This is the method utilized for shipping most construction vehicles, boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and buses. This method has cost-effectiveness and efficiency on its side, not to mention more reliability in departure and arrival dates. The inside of the ship is similar to the ramps of a parking garage, and the machinery can be rolled or driven up the ramps and secured to the boat.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
It’s not a requirement when shipping heavy machinery to Bahrain but it is a recommendation. It would prevent you from having to pay out of pocket for any damages (this is rare but could happen on rough seas).
1.75% of the value of the machinery for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, damage with $500 deductible. Coverage begins when your machinery is loaded onto the ship until the time it is collected and signed for at the destination. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the machinery. Some people opt to cover their machinery for 50% or 75% of the equipment’s value rather than 100%.
