Prepared For:
Fleet Managers & Construction Equipment Procurement Teams
Date:
March 2026
Confidentiality Level:
Internal Use – Distribution Controlled
Executive Summary
SEA LION International presents a technical evaluation of three primary maritime transport methods for exporting used trucks sourced in Oklahoma, USA, via trans-Pacific shipment from Chinese ports. This report compares Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo (loose containerized), and Flat Rack containerized shipping in terms of cost efficiency, cargo protection, transit time, and corrosion mitigation. Special attention is given to wax-based anti-corrosion treatments, critical for preserving truck integrity during ocean transit.
1. Scope & Application
This specification applies to the export logistics of used heavy-duty trucks (Class 6–8) and medium-duty utility vehicles from Chinese consolidation ports (e.g., Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao) to global destinations, including the Americas, Middle East, and Africa. Trucks are typically reconditioned in Oklahoma and shipped via rail to Chinese export hubs for redistribution.
2. Transport Method Comparison
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Type Suitability | Ideal for operational trucks | Suitable for non-operational or disassembled units | Best for oversized or non-roadworthy units |
| Loading Mechanism | Self-driven or towed onto vessel | Crane-lifted into hold; secured with lashing | Crane-loaded onto open-frame container |
| Protection Against Elements | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (exposed to bilge moisture, salt spray) | High (wax + tarp optional; full structural coverage) |
| Corrosion Risk (Seawater) | High (direct exposure) | Very High (condensation, splash zones) | Low (when waxed and tarped) |
| Average Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,600 – $3,500 |
| Transit Time (China → US West Coast) | 14–18 days | 16–20 days | 15–19 days |
| Insurance Risk Profile | Medium | High | Low |
| Handling Damage Risk | Low (drivable units) | High (rigging & sling damage) | Medium (improper securing) |
| Port Infrastructure Requirement | RO-RO ramp-equipped terminal | General cargo crane access | Container crane & flat rack availability |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
3.1. Purpose
Marine environments expose metallic components to salt-laden air and condensation, accelerating oxidation. Wax spraying forms a hydrophobic barrier on undercarriages, chassis rails, and engine compartments.
3.2. SEA LION Standard Procedure (SL-CP-2026)
- Pre-Treatment: High-pressure wash and degrease chassis. Dry for minimum 4 hours.
- Application Method: Electrostatic spray + brush touch-up for shadow zones.
- Wax Specification:
- Type: Solvent-based, self-healing synthetic microcrystalline wax
- Thickness: 15–20 µm dry film
- Salt Spray Resistance: >1,000 hours (ASTM B117)
- Curing Time: 24 hours in climate-controlled bay (20–25°C, <50% RH)
- Post-Treatment: Visual inspection and adhesion test (cross-hatch ISO 2409)
Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for RO-RO and Bulk Cargo shipments. Recommended for Flat Rack units in high-humidity routes.
4. Method Recommendations by Use Case
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Operational Trucks (Ready for Market) | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast turnaround, minimal handling, cost-effective |
| Damaged or Non-Operational Units | Flat Rack | Full structural support, secure lash points, compatibility with crane loading |
| High-Volume, Low-Cost Redistribution | Bulk Cargo (with wax & desiccants) | Economical for non-critical assets; requires enhanced corrosion control |
| Export to Corrosive Climates (e.g., Middle East, Coastal Africa) | Flat Rack + Wax + Tarp Enclosure | Maximum protection against salt, sand, and humidity |
5. Operational Constraints & Mitigations
- RO-RO: Limited to vessels with dedicated vehicle decks. Subject to tidal scheduling.
- Bulk Cargo: High risk of chafing and moisture ingress. Requires desiccant bags and plastic wrapping.
- Flat Rack: Higher tare weight reduces payload efficiency. Requires precise center-of-gravity loading.
6. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO/ILO/UNECE CTU Code (Cargo Transport Unit)
– CSC (Container Safety Convention) for Flat Racks
– China Customs Export Declaration (used machinery classification)
– ISPM 15 (for wooden dunnage, if used)
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction companies sourcing used Oklahoma trucks via China, RO-RO with wax protection offers the optimal balance of cost and speed for drivable units. Flat Rack is superior for non-operational or oversized trucks requiring maximum structural and corrosion protection. Bulk Cargo is viable only under strict waxing and moisture control protocols due to elevated corrosion and damage risks.
SEA LION International recommends wax spraying as a non-negotiable standard across all modalities to ensure asset longevity and resale value upon delivery.
