Sea Freight Solutions for Global Vehicle Transport

Sea freight remains a primary mode of transport for international vehicle shipping, offering cost-effective solutions for various types and quantities of vehicles. At UCS, we provide a range of container and vessel options to ensure the safe and secure shipment of your cargo.
 

1. Standard Container: For smaller cargo, such as passenger cars, sedans, and light commercial vehicles (LCV), standard containers are an ideal choice. A standard 40-foot high cube (40HQ) container has internal dimensions of approximately 12.03m x 2.35m x 2.69m. Typically, a 40HQ container can accommodate 2 standard-sized vehicles. With meticulous professional loading & lashing techniques, it's possible to fit 3 or 4 four cars, showcasing the importance of expert handling in maximizing container space.

2. Open Top Container: When dealing with vehicles that exceed the height limitations of standard containers but have a width within 2.35 meters, open-top containers provide a practical solution. However, it's crucial to note that when a vehicle's width approaches 2.3 meters, opting for a 40HQ container may compromise the safety of the shipment, increasing the risk of scratches or damage during loading and transit.

3. Flat Rack Container: For oversized vehicles that exceed both the width and height restrictions of standard and open-top containers, flat rack containers are the go-to option. These containers have collapsible sides, allowing for the secure transport of extra-wide and extra-high vehicles.

4. Bulk Ship (Bulk Carrier): When the quantity of vehicles to be shipped is substantial, container shipping might not be the most economical choice. Additionally, if the dimensions and weight of the vehicles surpass the capacity of 40FR (40-foot flat rack) containers, bulk ships (AKA bulk carriers), offer a viable solution.

Bulk ships utilize cranes for loading and unloading, earning them the moniker LOLO (lift-on/lift-off) ships. LOLO shipping is often the most cost-efficient and sometimes the only feasible method for transporting very large and heavy cargo.
Generally bulk vessels are specifically designed to transport large quantities of unpackaged bulk cargo, including grains, coal, ore, steel coils, large machinery, and equipment. It can also be an ideal option for shipping vehicles.

5. RORO Ship (Vehicle Carrier): RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) ships are specialized cargo ships designed for transporting wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, buses, excavators, and other vehicles. These vehicles are driven onto and off the ship using their own wheels or with the assistance of platform vehicles like self-propelled modular transporters. RORO ships, also called vehicle carriers, offer a convenient and efficient way to transport large numbers of vehicles, in contrast to LOLO vessels that rely on cranes for loading and unloading.

Land Transport Solutions within China and Beyond

While sea freight is the primary method for international shipping from China, land transport plays a crucial role, especially for domestic logistics and cross-border transport to neighboring countries.

6. Car Carrier Trailer: For efficient transport of vehicles by truck, car carrier trailers, also known as car-carrying trailers, car haulers, or auto transport trailers, are specifically designed. Double-deck car carrier trailers can typically transport between 6-8 cars, providing a cost-effective solution for inland vehicle distribution.
