4. Corrosion Protection Protocol: Wax Spraying System

Marine transport exposes vehicles to high-humidity, salt-laden air and direct seawater spray—primary accelerants of corrosion on undercarriages, chassis frames, and exposed metal components.

Recommended Protection: Industrial-Grade Wax Spraying

Parameter Specification
Application Method Automated underbody spray system
Wax Type Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer coating
Film Thickness 50–70 microns (uniform coverage)
Coverage Areas Frame rails, suspension mounts, fuel tanks, brake lines, wheel hubs
Curing Time 4–6 hours (ambient, 25°C)
Salt Spray Test (ASTM B117) >1,000 hours resistance
Reapplication Not required for single-transit export

Benefits:

  • Forms a non-drying, self-healing barrier against chloride ingress.
  • Reduces post-arrival reconditioning costs by up to 40%.
  • Compatible with all transport modes; essential for Flat Rack and Bulk Cargo due to direct exposure.

5. Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Risk Factor RO-RO Bulk Cargo Flat Rack Mitigation Strategy
Seawater Corrosion Medium High Very High Mandatory wax spraying pre-loading
Lashing Failure Low Medium High ISO-compliant chains + tension monitoring
Deck Moisture Accumulation Medium High High Dehumidification + absorbent matting
Port Delays (Handling) Low High Medium Pre-clearance documentation, JIT loading

6. Recommendations

  1. For High-Volume Operational Fleets:
    Utilize RO-RO for optimal balance of speed, safety, and cost. Mandate wax spraying at consolidation yards in Shanghai.

  2. For Budget-Constrained, Non-Operational Units:
    Bulk Cargo is viable, but only with full chassis encapsulation and post-arrival inspection protocols.

  3. For Modified or Oversized Ryder Units:
    Flat Rack is the only feasible option. Requires full wax treatment and reinforced lashing per ISO 1496/2 standards.

  4. Universal Requirement:
    All units, regardless of transport method, must undergo industrial wax spraying prior to shipment to ensure corrosion resistance over 30+ day voyages.


7. Conclusion

The export of used Ryder trucks from China demands a logistics strategy aligned with vehicle condition, destination, and lifecycle value. While RO-RO offers the highest operational efficiency, Flat Rack and Bulk Cargo remain relevant for specialized or cost-driven operations. The integration of standardized wax-based corrosion protection is non-negotiable for maintaining asset integrity across all shipping methods.

SEA LION International recommends pre-shipment treatment compliance as a contractual clause in all export agreements.
