Popular Ports, and How we can Ship your Cargo there!

Have you ever wondered what the most popular ports for international shipping are? Well, some may surprise you! 

No matter how where the ports are, or how busy they are, a reliable international shipping company like K International Transport can get your cargo there! A full list of popular ports of call can be found here, but some of them are as follows:


Alexandria, Egypt
Egypt itself is one of the most popular countries to ship to, and Alexandria is typically a very busy port city, and one of the oldest, built circa 1900. Anything from personal belongings aimed at family members in Egypt, to cars with K International Transport's international automobile shipping, are shipped. 
K International can ship almost any cargo to Egypt through Alexandria, just give us a call!


Oslo, Norway
This port is important because it is located in southern Norway, and connects the country to Germany and Denmark. Norway has a large group of vintage car collectors, that often buy cars from car dealerships in the United States. So what better time than now to use K International Transport's overseas car shipping services to ship to Norway? 
Fun fact: last year, the United States exported over $4 billion worth of cargo to Norway. 



Port-au-Prince, Haiti
This port is usually the most familiar to people. Unfortunately, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, damaging the port, but ultimately leading to an increase of construction equipment shipping through Port-au-Prince. 
Now you can get involved as well. K International Transport can help you ship heavy machinery or construction equipment to Haiti quickly, and for an affordable price!



No matter where you are shipping, whether it be to Haiti, Norway, or Egypt, you can count on K International Transport! Call us today at 212-267-6400, reach out to us on Skype at kinternationalny, or send us an email at sales@kinternational.com.

How Boats are Shipped!

If you've ever wanted to ship a boat or watercraft, you might be wondering how it's all done. 
Some common questions are:


  • "What is the process by which boats are shipped internationally?"


  • "How can I guarantee that my boat will get there safely?"


No worries! K International Transport promises to not only help you ship your boat or watercraft abroad, but also to erase all of your doubts and answer your questions!



First:
    The boat or watercraft will be moved from a warehouse to a port in the United States. Some of these ports are in New York, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and more!
     If your cargo is not already located in a port city, our international shipping services include inland trucking. We can move your boat from anywhere in the United States to a port city before shipping it abroad! 

Next:
     When it is time to ship the boat, it will be shipped on trailer by roll-on/roll-off vessels, which are used to load wheeled cargo, to its final destination. K International Transport's international boat shipping services can get your watercraft to its destination with no complications!

Finally:
     Your boat or watercraft is on its way! From then on, K International will help you with customs clearance, transport of the cargo from the port to its final destination, and unpacking services. 

With this system, you can practically ship whatever you want! This includes:
  • jet skis 
  • yachts
  • sail boats
  • deck boats
  • motor boats
  • and more!

What Not to Ship!

Let's say you have family in another country, and you want to ship them some of your belongings with the help of an international shipping company and containerized shipping. Well, what do you do first? 

Most importantly, you should be asking yourself "what should I NOT do when shipping internationally?"



Well, K International Transport is here to help! Here are some things you should not be shipping internationally: 

1. Jewelry and other valuable items, such as family heirlooms, should not be shipped. This is because they have a high chance of being damaged during the trip overseas.

2. Alcohol and perishable items should not be shipped either! Just as you would not bring perishable food, plants, and seeds on a plane, you should not look to ship them. 

3. Firearms, drugs, and tobacco are prohibited as well. That's understandable!

4. Finally, as of January 2014, lithium batteries, and electronics containing lithium batteries, cannot be shipped either.  


This may be a lot to take in, but don't fret! With K International Transport's international shipping services, we will help you get through this sometimes tedious process. 

Although it is important to understand what is and isn't appropriate to ship internationally, it is imperative that you pick the right international shipping company for your needs. K International Transport is not only a reliable choice, but will also ship your cargo to your family abroad efficiently, and for an affordable price. 


If you are not interested in shipping household or personal goods, K International Transport also specializes in overseas car shipping, so we will help you ship you're automobile to anywhere in the world, including countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America. 


So call K International Transport today if you want to ship your belongings to family abroad. Call us at 212-267-6400, reach us on Skype at kinternationalny, or email us at sales@kinternational.com. For an international shipping rate, visit our rate request page.

Time for the Super Villains: How K International can fight them!

We already wrote about a few famous superheros, and how K International Transport strives to be like them ("Superheros Galore: How we can match all of their superpowers"). 

But what about the villains? After all, what is a hero without someone to fight? Here are some of the most powerful villains, and how K International Transport can defeat them:


Poison Ivy
This villain is particularly dangerous, not for her strength and intelligence, but because she has the powers of pheromones and toxins on her side. She has the ability to affect the mindsets of everyone around her, making heroes like Superman and Batman turn against each other. 
K International Transport is the complete opposite of Poison Ivy. As a reliable and hardworking international shipping company, we will work with you no matter what you want to ship, and regardless of any problems you make have with your cargo. No one can change our minds about wanting to help you!


Magneto
Although Magneto started off as the "good guy," he quickly realized that he didn't agree with the other mutants' methods, so he left Professor X. Magneto realized that the human race would not look down too kindly on the mutants, and he knew that he did not want to be oppressed any longer. It is easy to sympathize with Magneto, and even root for him sometimes, because of the oppression he faced in Nazi Germany even before adulthood. Magneto uses his ability to move metallic things to fight against the humans in order to prevent discrimination towards himself and other mutants. 
K International Transport, however, can promise to never to go to the "dark side." We are committed to helping our  customers ship their cargo overseas to Asia, Africa, Europe, or South America at an affordable price. We may not have the powers to attract metal, but we can get a container ready for your cargo to safely travel across the ocean!



The Joker
The Joker is everyone's favorite villain. He's crazy and obsessed with Batman. The Joker is a psychopath with a clown-like appearance, who does villainous acts for his own amusement. He seems to have only one goal in life: to destroy Batman. 
K International Transport couldn't be more different! Not only will we go out of our way to help ship your cargo, whether it be an automobile (with our overseas car shipping services) or watercraft (with our international boat shipping services), but we will get it anywhere in Asia, Africa, South America, or Europe quickly and efficiently! 



If you are looking for a reliable international shipping company to ship your cargo abroad? Look no further than K International Transport! Call us today at 212-267-6400, Skype us at kinternationalny, or send us an email at sales@kinternational.com. If you need an international shipping rate from the United States, visit our rate request page.

    Patriotism and International Shipping!

    What do some of the most patriotic, and often unfortunate, events in American history have to do with international shipping services? They involve ships and the export/import of supplies!

    Many of these events feature sinking ships or trade disagreements, but at K International Transport, we can assure you that your cargo will reach its destination safely and efficiently. Here are famous blunders involving maritime trade:


    The Boston Tea Party
    In the second half of the 18th century, before America was even a recognized country, an event of vast importance occurred. The British had levied another tax on the colonies: the tax on tea. They passed the Tea Act to ensure that British tea would be cheaper than American smuggled tea. However, this didn't work, and everyone knows the ending to this story. Colonists hopped aboard a British merchant ship, and tossed all of the tea into the Boston harbor. 
    And what does this have to do with international shipping companies today, you may ask? Well, K International Transport can export your cargo to anywhere in the world, including ports in England, and you definitely don't have to worry about impassioned activists throwing your belongings over board! 


    The Sinking of the Lusitania
    This event is usually believed to have started World War I, but in reality, it didn't do so directly. The Lusitania was a British merchant ship that was transporting military equipment. It happened to have several American citizens on board when the German army attacked. This violated America's maritime neutrality, and eventually led to the start of the war, but only after Germany continued attacking neutral ships with submarine warfare. 
    K International Transport can guarantee that a shipping container with your cargo will not be attacked! No matter what you are shipping, your cargo will get to its destination, whether it be Germany or anywhere else in the world, without a scratch! 


     Here are some services K International Transport offers to ensure the safe and efficient shipping of your cargo:
    • Roll-on/roll-off service to board your automobile in a vessel with our overseas car shipping services
    • Safe stowage of your cargo for protection from the elements (and angry colonists!)
    • International shipping services from all major United States ports, including those in New York, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, Virginia, Maryland, and more
    • Inland transportation and trucking services, just in case your cargo needs to be transported to another state before being shipped overseas
    • Positioning ocean containers at your warehouse for shipping 20', 40', and 40'high-cube containers


    Whether you want to ship cargo to Germany, England, or anywhere else in the world, call K International today for a reliable international shipping company at 212-267-6400, reach out to us on Skype at kinternationalny, or send an email to sales@kinternational.com.

    Most Famous Canals: Ship your Boat Today!

    With all of the world's amazing canals, can you imagine the possibilities? Canals are not only beautiful, but are completely man-made!

    Without further ado, here are some of the most famous canals in the world:

    Alappuzha
    This canal is located in southern India, in Allepay. This city not only has canals, but is famous for its backwater, lagoons, and beaches as well. It is a popular tourist destination, especially in August, when the Nehru Trophy Boat Race takes place. 
    Want to ship your boat or watercraft to India? K International Transport can help with our international boat shipping services!


    The Panama Canal
    This canal was built in the early 20th century with the guidance of its strongest supporter, Teddy Roosevelt. More than 14,000 ships pass through the Panama Canal every year, because it is a much safer and more efficient way to get to the Pacific or Atlantic ocean, rather than going around the tip of South America. 
    If you are looking for a reliable international shipping company to ship your cargo to Panama, or anywhere in South America, K International can get the job done!


    The Stockholm Canals
    Because Stockholm is situated on 14 islands, the canals are numerous, allowing many ships to pass through every day. Most of these canals were built in the late 1800's, and because of the size and number of the canals, Stockholm is often called the "Venice of the North."
    Shipping your boat or watercraft to Sweden doesn't have to be a hassle. K International can get your cargo to its destination safely and for an affordable price. 



    No matter where you are shipping, K International can get your cargo there with our international boat shipping services, including:
    • Fishing boats
    • Deck boats
    • Cruiser boats
    • Jet boats
    • and more!
    If you are looking for a reliable international shipping company to ship a boat or watercraft to India, Panama, Sweden, or anywhere else in the world, call K International Transport today at 212-267-6400, reach out to us on Skype at kinternationalny, or email us at sales@kinternational.com.

    Friday the 13th, Beware!


    It is Friday the 13th, and what many people call the unluckiest day of the year. Some Americans simply enjoy telling myths about this fateful day, but others take it seriously, going as far as to refusing to leave their houses. 

     K International Transport believes, however, that international shipping services don't have to suffer, even on the unluckiest days. 

    Here are the most popular Friday the 13th myths, and how we work to avoid unlucky situations:



    Don't Walk Under the Ladder!
    Walking under a ladder is said to bring bad luck or increased risk of injury. Technically this is true, I mean who would want to be responsible for injuring a carpenter who's just trying to do their job? If you're still worried, however, we promise that there will be no ladder-obstacles when you try to ship your cargo overseas. Unless you want that of course! In that case, you can ship as many ladders as you want along with construction equipment with the help of our heavy equipment shipping services.

    Beware of a Black Cat Crossing your Path!
    Black cats make wonderful pets, but this is not so on Friday the 13th, according to  friggatriskaidekaphobics (people afraid of Friday the 13th)! This myth most likely originates from the association of black cats to witches all throughout historic legends. Again, K International Transport promises not to have any black cats board the vessels and containers. Besides, it's against international shipping regulations! 


    Don't Break that Mirror! 
    According to this myth, breaking a mirror will bring you seven years of bad luck! How unforgiving! This myth comes from the idea that mirrors don't just show your reflection, but also hold bits of your soul.
    But again, no worries! With K International Transport, you can ship your cargo, including any automobiles with our overseas car transport, and expect it to reach its destination without a scratch! We accomplish this with containerized shipping, which keeps your car safe and sound throughout its journey!

    Knock on Wood
    Finally, for some good news! If you happen to come upon any bad fate, simply knock on wood to ward it off. This originated from the idea that good spirits lived in trees, and knocking on wood would somehow wake them.
    With K International Transport, there's no need to knock on wood, you are protected regardless! Bad luck doesn't follow us, just ask any of our customers! We are one of the most reliable international shipping companies, so choosing us to ship your belongings is similar to knocking on wood!
    Knocking on wood can save you from bad fate, but so can choosing K International Transport!

    So no matter how superstitious you are, you know K International Transport always has your best interests at heart. No matter where and what you are shipping, we will find you an affordable rate which will leave you feeling lucky. Call us today at (212) 267-6400, reach out to us on skype at kinternationalny, or email us at sales@kinternational.com. For an international shipping quote from the United States to Europe, Asia, Africa, or South America, visit our rate request page.

    Superheros Galore: How we can match all of their Superpowers!

    Comic books and tales of the "Good Guys" saving the world have always been popular, but in the past decade, it seems as though a new superhero movie comes out every other month. "But," you may ask, "What do superheros have to do with international shipping companies?" 

    Without further ado, here are some of the most powerful superheros, and what we have in common with them: 

    Iron Man
    This superhero appeals to mass audiences because Tony Stark is just a regular guy, and essentially, a self-made hero. He creates his own high-tech equipment, thanks to the help of his parents' firm, Stark Industries. This particular hero not only has a powerfully stylish suit, but is extremely intelligent, entering Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at only 15 years old. Tony Stark managed to create his image with his own inventions, and is a great superhero because of it. 
    If the story of Tony Stark motivates you to succeed (and possibly to become the world's next defender of mankind), K International Transport can help with its heavy equipment shipping services. We can ship your cargo (and your ingenious hi-tech equipment) to any country of your choosing. Now you can save the world from Europe, Africa, Asia, or South America, take your pick! 

    Iron Man using his amazing hi-tech suit

    Professor X
    This hero is different from Iron Man, and yet similar in some ways. Professor X can perform telepathy. However, he not only reads minds but can also control people through their minds. This useful trick got him a well-deserved spot with the X-Men, and a well-deserved spot on this list. Professor X, like Iron Man, is not only powerful, but also ridiculously smart. He is a professor at Oxford University, after all.
    If you would like to ship something out of the United States, you don't need telepathic powers for us to give you a reasonable price. At K International Transport, we will give you a quote for our international shipping services to the destination of your choosing (to England to join Professor X, perhaps?) 


    Professor X using his telepathic powers 

    Flash
    This superhero has the power to move, think, and act faster than the speed of light. He uses the "Speed Force" to tap into his powers, and allow himself to move through time. This power comes in handy when fighting villains, who are always a few steps behind him. 
    Although K International cannot move through time and space, we will always try our best to make our customers happy. We can offer a shipping quote and a schedule of approximate delivery. We can't get your cargo there at the speed of light, but through our use of containerized shipping, especially with our overseas car transport services, it will get there as quickly as possible, and as safely as possible. 
    Like Flash, K International is way ahead of all other international shipping companies!


    Whether you are a superhero in training, or you simply want to export your cargo internationally, contact K International Transport for a reliable international shipping company. Call us at 212-267-6400 or on skype at kinternationalny. You can also send an email at sales@kinternational.com. For an international shipping quote, visit our rate request page. We may not be superheros, but are the Good Guys of international shipping!
