4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Due to prolonged exposure to marine atmospheric conditions (salt-laden air, humidity), the Yanmar 100 excavator is vulnerable to galvanic and crevice corrosion, especially on undercarriage components, hydraulic fittings, and unpainted steel surfaces.
Recommended Anti-Corrosion Treatment:
- Treatment Type: Solvent-based wax spray (e.g., Dinitrol LS 250 or Cosmoline C5)
- Application Method: High-pressure spray to all exposed metallic surfaces
- Coverage Areas:
- Track links and rollers
- Boom and arm pivot points
- Hydraulic cylinder rods (protected with boots + wax)
- Frame weld joints and underside panels
- Drying Time: 2–4 hours at 25°C
- Removal at Destination: Biodegradable citrus-based solvent or steam cleaning
Note: Wax film provides 6–8 weeks of protection during sea transit and short-term storage. Mandatory for all shipping methods; non-negotiable for Bulk and RO-RO due to exposure.
5. Risk Assessment & Mitigation
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saltwater Corrosion | High | Very High | Medium | Wax spray + desiccant packs in cab (if sealed) |
| Physical Impact | Low | High | Medium | Wheel chocks, lashing (min. 4-point) |
| Moisture Ingress | Medium | High | Medium | Silica gel, sealed operator cabin |
| Theft/Vandalism | Low | High | Low | GPS tracking, port security protocols |
| Delay Risk | Low | Medium | Low | Pre-booking, container prioritization |
6. Recommendations
-
For High-Volume Regional Deliveries (e.g., Southeast Asia, Middle East):
→ RO-RO is optimal due to cost-efficiency and rapid roll-on/off operations. Ensure wax spray is applied pre-loading. -
For Budget-Constrained Projects with Tolerance for Handling Risk:
→ Bulk Cargo offers lowest freight cost but requires full wax encapsulation and post-arrival inspection. -
For High-Value Markets (Europe, North America) or Corrosion-Sensitive Environments:
→ Flat Rack Container is recommended despite higher cost. Enables full lashing, tarp coverage, and controlled environment.
7. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must comply with:
– IMO IMSBC Code (for bulk)
– CTU Code (for containerized freight)
– ISPM 15 (wooden dunnage, if used)
– Bill of Lading with equipment condition report (pre-shipment photos required)
8. Conclusion
The export logistics of the Yanmar 100 Excavator demand a balanced approach between cost, risk, and equipment integrity. While RO-RO offers efficiency and Bulk Cargo reduces cost, Flat Rack provides superior protection—especially when combined with industrial-grade wax spraying. SEA LION International recommends integrating wax-based anti-corrosion treatment into standard export prep for all methods, with shipping mode selection based on destination, volume, and project timeline.
