Why Choose Melbourne as a Destination?

• Space Coast Industrial & Tourism Hub:
  • Proximity to Cape Canaveral and the aerospace industry requires carriers experienced in handling sensitive and high-value cargo. Providers specialize in navigating security protocols for restricted-area deliveries.
• Cargo Flexibility:
  • Handle diverse goods, including:
    • Aerospace/Defense: Satellite components, aircraft parts, and testing equipment.
    • Marine Equipment: Boats, engines, and water sports gear for Melbourne’s coastal economy.
    • Residential/Tourism: Furniture, appliances, and recreational vehicles for vacation homes and resorts.
• Weather-Resilient Planning:
  • Providers account for Florida’s hurricane seasons (June–November) and offer reinforced packaging and proactive rerouting to avoid port closures or delays.

Tips for Shippers

• Aerospace/Industrial Delivery:
  • For restricted facilities, provide advance security clearance details (e.g., visitor badges, vehicle inspections) and specify delivery windows to avoid launch-related road closures.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Melbourne’s zip code (32901–32958) and include a contact phone number. Use anti-corrosive packaging for marine equipment and humidity-resistant materials for electronics.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Miami is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via MLB is ideal for urgent aerospace or tourism-related shipments (e.g., last-minute resort restocks).
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value aerospace components or marine equipment should be insured with all-risk coverage (3–5% of shipment value), including protection against weather-related delays.
