Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026

Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Lorry Trucks from China
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Global Heavy Equipment Logistics Division
Date: January 2026


Executive Summary

This report evaluates three primary marine transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of lorry trucks from manufacturing hubs in China (e.g., Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou) to global destinations. The analysis focuses on cost-efficiency, transit time, cargo security, handling requirements, and corrosion protection protocols, with emphasis on wax-based anti-corrosion treatments for seawater exposure.


1. Overview of Export Methods

Method Description Suitability for Lorry Trucks
RO-RO Vehicles driven onto/off specialized vessels via ramps High – Ideal for operational, self-propelled units
Bulk Cargo Trucks disassembled or partially dismantled, stowed in open cargo holds Low – High risk, labor-intensive reassembly
Flat Rack Trucks secured on open, flat-sided containers; lifted via crane High – Optimal for oversized or non-operational units

2. Comparative Analysis

Parameter RO-RO Shipping Bulk Cargo Shipping Flat Rack Container Shipping
Loading Mechanism Driven on/off vessel Crane-lifted, manual stowage Crane-lifted, secured on platform
Truck Condition Operational (drivable) May require disassembly Operational or non-operational
Transit Time (avg.) 28–35 days (China → Europe/MENA) 32–40 days 30–38 days
Port Infrastructure Requires RO-RO terminal Standard bulk terminal Standard container terminal
Handling Damage Risk Low (controlled roll-on/off) High (rigging, stacking) Moderate (crane operations)
Security & Theft Risk Low (sealed decks, access control) High (open holds, shared space) Moderate (container seal integrity)
Cost per Unit (USD) $3,800–$4,500 $2,900–$3,600 (plus reassembly) $4,200–$5,000
Insurance Complexity Standard vehicle coverage High (dismantled components) Standard heavy equipment coverage
Customs Clearance Streamlined (intact unit) Complex (parts classification) Straightforward (complete unit)

Note: Cost estimates based on 2026 freight indices, 40-ton 6×4 rigid dump truck, origin: Qingdao Port.


3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol

Marine transport exposes lorry trucks to high-humidity, salt-laden environments, increasing risk of galvanic and surface corrosion on undercarriages, chassis rails, and exposed metal components.

SEA LION Anti-Corrosion Standard (SACS-2026)

Protection Layer Specification
Base Treatment Degrease and dry all external metal surfaces (ISO 8501-1:2007 compliant)
Wax Application Electrophoretic wax spray (minimum 25 µm thickness) on chassis, frame, axles
Product Type Solvent-free, hydrophobic microcrystalline wax (e.g., Woolwax®-equivalent)
Application Method High-pressure spray (12–15 bar), full underbody coverage
Curing Time 4 hours at 25°C ambient
Performance Standard 1,000+ hours salt spray resistance (ASTM B117)

Benefits:

  • Forms self-healing, water-displacing barrier
  • Compatible with painted and galvanized surfaces
  • No residue interference with post-delivery operations
  • Reduces post-arrival maintenance costs by up to 30%

Mandatory for all export shipments via sea. Applied pre-loading at certified SEA LION Pre-Export Treatment Facilities (PETFs) in Chinese ports.


4. Recommendation by Use Case

Client Type Recommended Method Rationale
Fleet Managers RO-RO Fast deployment, minimal post-arrival prep, lower operational downtime
Construction Firms Flat Rack Accommodates oversized attachments (e.g., crane arms, dump bodies)
Cost-Sensitive Buyers Bulk Cargo (discouraged) Lower freight cost offset by reassembly labor and corrosion risk

STRONG ADVISORY: Bulk cargo is not recommended for high-value or corrosion-sensitive lorry trucks due to elevated risk of component loss and structural degradation.


5. Compliance & Documentation

All shipments must comply with:
IMDG Code (for fuel and battery transport)
COC (Certificate of Conformity) – Issued by Chinese MOHURD
Bill of Lading (Sea Waybill) with wax treatment certification
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) per ISO 10473


Conclusion

For the export of lorry trucks from China, RO-RO offers the optimal balance of speed, safety, and cost for operational units, while Flat Rack provides flexibility for non-standard configurations. Bulk Cargo is technically feasible but economically and logistically suboptimal for complete truck units.

Wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable for all marine exports. SEA LION International enforces SACS-2026 as a baseline protection standard across all shipping modes to ensure asset integrity over 30+ day voyages.

Fleet and construction logistics planners are advised to integrate wax protection and method-specific handling into procurement contracts with Chinese OEMs.
