- Cargo Type: Articulated or rigid dump trucks (payload: 20–50 metric tons), pre-loaded with moist or compacted soil (classified as non-hazardous, non-regulated bulk earth material).
- Origin: Major Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Shenzhen).
- Destination: Global construction zones (Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, South America).
- Objective: Secure, cost-effective, and time-efficient transport of operational dump trucks with minimal post-arrival maintenance.
3. Comparative Analysis of Shipping Methods
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Soil Only) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Configuration | Fully assembled, operational dump truck driven onboard | Soil only; truck not shipped | Truck secured on open-top flat rack container |
| Loading Method | Self-propelled roll-on | Excavated and poured via conveyor | Crane-lifted and lashed |
| Max Load per Unit | Up to 50 MT (truck + soil) | Unlimited (ship hold capacity) | 45 MT (ISO 40′ flat rack) |
| Transit Time | 18–28 days (direct routes) | 22–35 days | 20–30 days |
| Port Infrastructure | RO-RO ramps required | Bulk terminals with conveyors | Standard container cranes |
| Cost (USD/Unit) | $8,500 – $12,000 | $4,000 – $6,500 (soil only) | $10,000 – $14,500 |
| Risk of Damage | Low (drivable, minimal handling) | N/A (truck not shipped) | Medium (lifting/lashing stress) |
| Corrosion Exposure | High (open deck exposure) | Low (soil bagged or covered) | High (exposed metal surfaces) |
| Customs Clearance | Straightforward (complete unit) | Complex (material classification) | Standard container protocols |
| Best Use Case | Exporting functional trucks with soil for immediate site use | Supplying soil only; local truck availability | Transporting trucks to remote sites with limited RO-RO access |
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Seawater exposure during ocean transit poses a significant risk of salt-induced corrosion on dump truck undercarriages, hydraulic systems, and structural steel. SEA LION International mandates the application of a marine-grade wax-based anti-corrosion spray prior to shipment.
4.1 Specifications: Wax Spraying Protection
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Solvent-based anti-corrosion wax (wax-oil hybrid) |
| Active Components | Microcrystalline wax, corrosion inhibitors (T746), UV stabilizers |

| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension joints, hydraulic rams, wheel hubs, exhaust system |
| Film Thickness | 80–120 µm (dry film) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | >1,000 hours (per ASTM B117) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable solvent wash or steam degreasing |
| Validity | 90 days exposure; recommended reapplication post-arrival if stored outdoors |
Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for RO-RO and Flat Rack shipments. For Bulk Cargo shipments, wax protection applies only if associated equipment is shipped separately.
5. Method-Specific Recommendations
5.1 RO-RO Shipping
- Advantages: Fastest deployment, minimal disassembly, ideal for turnkey project logistics.
- Constraints: Limited to ports with RO-RO facilities; higher exposure to salt spray.
- SEA LION Protocol: Full wax spray + wheel arch sealing + battery isolation.
5.2 Bulk Cargo (Soil Only)
- Advantages: Lowest cost for soil transport; avoids machinery logistics.
- Constraints: Requires local truck availability; soil compaction and moisture control critical.
- SEA LION Protocol: Soil must be covered with HDPE tarp or sealed in FIBC bags; moisture <18% to prevent liquefaction.
5.3 Flat Rack Container
- Advantages: Flexible routing (fits any container port); secure lashing options.
- Constraints: Requires heavy-lift crane; higher handling risk.
- SEA LION Protocol: ISO-certified flat racks; 8-point lashing system; wax spray + plastic sheet encapsulation.
6. Environmental & Compliance Notes
- IMSBC Code Compliance: Soil classified under Group C (neither liquefiable nor chemically hazardous). Moisture content certification required.
- CITES & ISPM 15: Wooden dunnage (if used) must be heat-treated and stamped.
- MARPOL Annex III: No hazardous residues; wax spray is non-toxic and compliant.
7. Conclusion & Recommendation
For fleet managers and construction firms requiring immediate operational readiness of dump trucks at project sites, RO-RO shipping with full wax corrosion protection is the optimal solution. While Flat Rack offers flexibility, it incurs higher handling risks and costs. Bulk Cargo is only viable when soil is the sole requirement and local equipment is available.
SEA LION International recommends:
✅ Prioritize RO-RO for truck+soil unit shipments.
✅ Enforce mandatory wax spraying per ASTM and ISO 12944 standards.
✅ Conduct pre-shipment inspection and anti-corrosion certification.
