1. Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods for exporting off-highway mining dump trucks (e.g., models XCMG XE900G, SANY STEREN STL90C, and Caterpillar 777G assembled in China) from Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo) to global destinations. The comparative analysis focuses on Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo (Lo-Lo), and Flat Rack Container shipping solutions. Key parameters include cost, transit time, equipment safety, corrosion protection, and operational compatibility. Special emphasis is placed on wax-based anti-corrosion spraying systems to mitigate seawater-induced degradation during ocean transit.

| Risk of Physical Damage | Low (minimal handling) | Medium (crane slinging risks) | Medium-High (exposure, lashing failure) |
| Weather Exposure | Low (enclosed decks) | High (open deck) | Very High (fully exposed) |
| Customs Clearance Speed | Fast (vehicle VIN-based processing) | Moderate | Slower (container manifest rules) |
| Best Suited For | High-volume, time-sensitive shipments | Remote ports without RO-RO access | Oversized units exceeding RO-RO limits |
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Seawater salt aerosol and high humidity during maritime transit pose critical risks to exposed metal surfaces, undercarriages, and hydraulic components of mining dump trucks. SEA LION International mandates the application of industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion spray as a preventive measure.
4.1 Wax Spray Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic wax emulsion |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (20–30 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Chassis rails, suspension joints, radiator supports, wheel hubs, exhaust manifolds |
| Film Thickness | 50–75 µm (dry) |
| Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) | >1,000 hours |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Removability | Biodegradable solvent wash at destination |
| Certification | ISO 12944-6:2018 (C5-M Marine Environment) |
4.2 Application Protocol
- Pre-treatment: Degrease and dry all metal surfaces; remove dust and moisture.
- Spray Application: Apply uniform coating using robotic or manual spray arms in controlled environment (humidity <60%).
- Curing: Allow 8-hour dwell time in enclosed warehouse prior to loading.
- Verification: Adhesion test (cross-hatch) and thickness gauge check per unit.
Note: Wax protection is mandatory for all Flat Rack and Bulk Cargo shipments. RO-RO units receive wax spray as standard per SEA LION’s export compliance protocol.
5. Risk Mitigation & Recommendations
| Risk Factor | Recommended Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Saltwater Corrosion | Full undercarriage wax spray + silica gel desiccants in cab |
| Lashing Failure (Flat Rack) | 8-point lashing with 40-ton break load chains; certified by DNV-GL |
| Delayed Port Handling | Pre-book RO-RO slots 60 days in advance; use C&F agents at destination |
| Customs Inspection Delays | Provide complete CKD/Bill of Lading package with conformity certificates (CCC, CE) |
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction companies sourcing off-highway dump trucks from China:
- RO-RO is the optimal solution for volume shipments to RO-RO-equipped ports, offering speed, safety, and cost efficiency.
- Bulk Cargo (Lo-Lo) is viable for destinations lacking RO-RO infrastructure but incurs higher handling risks and costs.
- Flat Rack should be reserved for non-standard or over-dimensional units, with strict adherence to wax protection and lashing standards.
SEA LION International enforces ISO 9001:2015-compliant packaging and preservation protocols, including mandatory wax spraying, to ensure equipment arrives in operational condition. Clients are advised to integrate corrosion protection into their total landed cost model.
