| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | >500 hrs (per ASTM B117) |
| Reapplication Interval | Not required for single transit (60-day max exposure) |
Note: Wax treatment adds $80–$120 per unit but reduces field warranty claims by up to 40% in coastal delivery zones.
5. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet delivery to Middle East/Africa | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast discharge, cost-effective at scale; wax mitigates Red Sea/Indian Ocean salinity |
| Single-unit or low-volume to South America | Flat Rack | Superior protection, compatibility with container ports, ease of inspection |
| Budget export to Southeast Asia | Bulk Cargo + Wax Spray | Low cost, acceptable risk over short sea routes; wax essential for humidity protection |
6. Compliance & Documentation
- Export Clearance (China): CO (Certificate of Origin), CIQ Inspection, Export License
- Marine Insurance: All-risk coverage including seawater corrosion and transit damage
- Cargo Marking: ISO container codes (if Flat Rack), IMO hazard labels (fuel tanks), and anti-theft seals
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction logistics planners, RO-RO shipping offers the most efficient solution for bulk 6×4 tractor truck exports from China when paired with industrial-grade wax corrosion protection. Flat Rack containers provide the highest asset protection for high-value or long-transit shipments, while Bulk Cargo remains a cost-competitive option for price-sensitive operations with acceptable risk tolerance.
Proactive anti-corrosion measures, especially wax undercoating, are non-negotiable for maintaining equipment integrity across all methods. SEA LION International recommends integrating wax spraying into pre-shipment protocols for all maritime exports.
