Approvals & RFQs
Send shop drawings for approval at least two weeks before a long holiday – reviews stop while engineers and authorities are away.
Vessel arrival
Customs clearance and container release pause on public holidays; storage and demurrage keep running. Time the ETA after the break.
Landed cost to Norway →Site deliveries
Crane hire, trucking permits and site access are limited around holidays. Agree the erection sequence and delivery windows in advance.
Vietnam holidays too
Our factory plans production around Tết (Lunar New Year) and National Day – we lock delivery dates for your project well ahead of both.
Request a quotation →Sources & notes
Dates follow official government lists where published. Islamic and other moon-sighting dates, and holidays not yet gazetted for next year, are marked "estimated" and may move by a day. Always confirm with your local partner before fixing a deadline.
