5. Method Recommendation by Use Case
| Fleet Requirement | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple operational E35/E42 units | RO-RO | Fast loading, minimal handling, wax spray sufficient for protection |
| High-volume procurement (10+ units) | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost per unit; requires full wax treatment and deck lashing |
| E85 with attachments, non-operational | 40′ Flat Rack | Accommodates width/length; secure mounting; full wax + tarpaulin advised |
6. Compliance & Documentation
- IMO/IMSBC Code: Applicable for bulk vessel stowage plans
- CTU Code (Cargo Transport Unit): Required for flat rack lashing certification
- Phytosanitary & Customs: China Exit Inspection (CIQ) + Destination Import Clearance
- Bill of Lading: Specify “Machinery – Excavators – Wax Protected” in cargo description
7. Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment integrity in exporting Bobcat excavators from China:
- RO-RO is ideal for operational, standard-sized units with moderate corrosion protection needs.
- Bulk Cargo offers economy for large-volume shipments but demands rigorous wax application and lashing.
