Our construction machinery shipment can via the 4 difference vessel, bulk cargo, RORO, container and container flat rack vessel. We can recommend the right vessel according to your country's harbour, which can further reduce the shipping cost under the premise of guaranteeing the safety of your cargo. The advantages and disadvantages of these vessels are as follows:

 

1. Bulk Cargo Vessel

 

Bulk cargo vessel have two floor, bilges and decks. The machinery put into bilges will no rusty issue, but freight cost a little expensive than put machinery on the decks. And compare with other model vessel, bulk cargoes freight cost is low, long loading and unloading times and unstable shipping schedule. If the construction machinery shipment via bulk cargoes vessel, you need more patient for the shipment time.

2. RO-RO Vessel

 

The RO-RO vessel is specially designed for transport vehicles and construction machinery, a diving board at the stern or bow or both sides of the boat to connect to the dock.  High loading and unloading efficiency and low terminal handling charges. However, due to the small quantity and the high cost of the vessel, the freight cost is very expensive.

3. Container Vessel

 

Most of small construction machinery can put into 40FT container, via disassembly or whole, such as XCMG XS143J road roller etc. It is very popular due to low freight rates and stable shipping schedules. However, container vessel also has its limitations, for example, it can only load small construction machinery, the cost of port charges is high, and it requires customers to have certain assembly ability.

4. Container Flat Rack Vessel

 

This type of vessel is suitable for remote ports where there are usually no bulk cargo vessels, container vessels, and can only be transported by container flat rack vessels. The freight cost is very high, but the good thing is that it has a stable transit time.

The above is an introduction to transporting construction machinery vessels, and we will protect your construction machinery no matter which way it is transported.
