Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks from China to RI (Regional Importer)
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used commercial trucks from China to RI (Regional Importer). The analysis focuses on operational efficiency, cost structure, equipment protection, and compliance with industrial handling standards. Special attention is given to wax-based anti-corrosion treatments for protection against seawater exposure during transit.
1. Overview of Export Requirements
Used trucks exported from China to RI typically include heavy-duty dump trucks, tractor units, and rigid haulers. These vehicles require secure handling, environmental protection, and customs-compliant documentation. Key logistical challenges include saltwater corrosion, space optimization, and port handling constraints.
2. Shipping Method Comparison
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowed) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Compatibility | Operational trucks only | All types (operational or non-operational) | All types (incl. oversized units) |
| Loading Mechanism | Self-driven onto vessel | Crane-lifted or forklift stowed | Crane-lifted onto open platform |
| Stowage Density | High (stacked decks) | Medium to High | Low (limited by container count) |
| Transit Time | 28–35 days (China → RI) | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO-capable terminal | General cargo terminal | Container terminal with heavy lift |
| Cargo Security | High (secured on deck) | Medium (risk of shifting) | High (lashed per ISO standards) |
| Average Cost per Unit | $1,800–$2,200 | $1,500–$1,900 | $2,600–$3,200 |
| Damage Risk | Low (if operational) | Moderate (contact damage) | Low (if properly secured) |
| Customs Clearance | Streamlined (vehicle manifest) | Standard bulk documentation | Containerized (ISF, B/L, etc.) |
| Best For | Fleet of functional trucks | High-volume, mixed-condition units | Oversized, non-standard trucks |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater exposure during marine transit poses a significant risk of corrosion to undercarriages, chassis frames, and engine compartments. SEA LION International recommends the following wax-based anti-corrosion treatment as standard for all exported used trucks:
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, high-adhesion anti-corrosion wax (e.g., Dinitrol AVA 40 or equivalent) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (20–30 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension components, wheel arches, fuel tank mounts, under-engine zones |
| Film Thickness | 40–60 μm (measured via wet-film gauge) |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | Minimum 500 hours (ASTM B117 compliant) |
| Reapplication | Not required for single-transit export |
Note: Wax treatment must be applied 72 hours prior to vessel loading to ensure full curing and adhesion. Non-compliance increases corrosion failure risk by up to 70% during monsoon-season transits.
4. Method-Specific Recommendations
RO-RO Shipping
- Advantages: Fast loading/unloading, minimal handling damage, ideal for driveable fleets.
