| Origin Hubs | Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Ningbo |
3. Comparative Shipping Method Analysis
| Feature | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Loaded in Hold) | Flat Rack Container (20′ or 40′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Self-driven or towed onto vessel | Craned or rolled into ship’s hold | Secured onto open-frame container via lashing |
| Vehicle Integrity | High (minimal handling) | Moderate (risk of impact during loading) | High (controlled lashing, weather protection) |
| Weather Exposure | Moderate (exposed decks) | High (unprotected in hold, humidity risk) | Low-Moderate (depends on lashing and covering) |
| Corrosion Risk | High (direct salt spray) | Very High (condensation, poor ventilation) | Moderate (reduced exposure, wax protection effective) |
| Security | Moderate (shared deck space) | Low (commingled with other cargo) | High (containerized, seal-protected) |
| Transit Time | 25–35 days (Asia to Americas/Africa) | 30–40 days | 28–38 days |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk terminal | Standard container terminal |
| Cost per Unit (Est. USD) | $1,800 – $2,300 | $1,500 – $1,900 | $2,600 – $3,400 |
| Insurance Complexity | Moderate | High (damage claims frequent) | Low-Moderate (container tracking, sealed units) |
| Scalability | High (hundreds of units per vessel) | High (volume-based) | Medium (limited by container availability) |
| Best Suited For | Operational trucks, large fleets | Non-operational or stripped units | High-value units, precision transport needs |
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater-induced corrosion is a critical risk during marine transport, particularly in tropical and high-humidity routes. SEA LION International recommends the application of industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion spray as a preventive measure for all exported ‘Jim Glover’ trucks.
4.1 Wax Protection Specification
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic, salt-exclusion wax |
| Application Areas | Undercarriage, wheel hubs, suspension joints, exhaust manifolds, radiator supports |
| Coating Thickness | 50–75 µm (measured via DFT gauge) |
| Drying Time | 2–4 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Durability | Minimum 45-day salt fog resistance (ASTM B117 compliant) |
| Reapplication | Recommended post-arrival before commissioning |
4.2 Application Workflow
- Pre-Treatment: High-pressure wash and degrease critical zones.
- Drying: Forced-air drying for 1 hour.
- Spray Application: Use HVLP sprayers; ensure full coverage of recessed metal joints.
- Inspection: Visual and DFT audit per ISO 12944-8.
- Documentation: Issue wax application certificate per unit.
Note: Wax protection is most effective when combined with desiccant packs in enclosed cabins and sealed electrical connectors.
5. Risk Mitigation Recommendations
- RO-RO: Apply wax spray + install temporary fender covers to prevent deck abrasion.
- Bulk Cargo: Not recommended unless trucks are non-operational and cost is primary driver. If used, full waxing and internal silica gel deployment are mandatory.
- Flat Rack: Optimal for premium units. Combine wax spray with tarpaulin cover (UV-resistant, 600g/m²) and diagonal lashing (Grade 80 chains, 10,000 kg SWL).
6. Conclusion & Strategic Recommendation
For fleet managers and construction firms exporting ‘Jim Glover used trucks’ from China, Flat Rack shipping with industrial wax protection offers the highest integrity-to-cost ratio for operational, revenue-generating assets. RO-RO remains viable for large-volume, lower-cost deployments where minor cosmetic degradation is acceptable. Bulk cargo is discouraged due to high corrosion and damage risk.
SEA LION International advises implementing a standardized pre-shipment protocol including wax application, lashing certification, and condition reporting to ensure asset longevity and reduce post-arrival reconditioning costs.
