Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks from China to Maui, HI
Date: March 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Global Heavy Equipment Logistics Division
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 trucks from major Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo) to Maui, Hawaii. The analysis focuses on cost-efficiency, equipment integrity, transit reliability, and corrosion protection, with specific recommendations for safeguarding vehicles during Pacific Ocean transit.
1. Overview of Export Requirements
Used trucks destined for Maui are typically medium- to heavy-duty models (e.g., dump trucks, flatbeds, service trucks) previously operated in Chinese industrial zones. Key logistical challenges include:
- Long-haul ocean transit (18–28 days)
- Exposure to high-salinity marine environments
- Need for operational readiness upon arrival
- Compliance with U.S. import standards (EPA, DOT, CBP)
2. Comparative Analysis of Shipping Methods
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Loaded in Hold) | Flat Rack Container (20’ or 40’) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-driven or towed onto vessel | Craned into ship’s cargo hold | Secured on open-frame container, craned |
| Vehicle Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (confined, high moisture) | High (weatherproof lashings, optional tarp) |
| Transit Time (China–Maui) | 20–25 days | 22–28 days | 18–24 days |
| Port Availability (Maui) | Limited (Kahului Port supports RO-RO) | Not recommended (no bulk discharge) | High (standard container handling) |
| Damage Risk | Medium (deck exposure, chafing) | High (moisture, shifting) | Low (controlled stowage) |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 (not viable) | $2,600 – $3,200 |
| Scalability | High (100+ units per vessel) | High (theoretically) | Medium (limited by container supply) |
| U.S. Customs Clearance | Standard | Complex (non-containerized) | Streamlined (ISPM 15, container tracking) |
Note: Bulk Cargo is not recommended for vehicle exports to Maui due to lack of proper discharge infrastructure at Kahului and elevated risk of saltwater immersion and corrosion.
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
