Taking Your Large Boat Abroad? Use a Qualified Shipping Service

Sailing in international seas is one of the most thrilling things a large boat can offer its owner.  Still, you don’t necessarily want to make the trek across the Atlantic in your boat in order to sail, say, the Greek isles.  For large boats and other watercraft, you will find that the most cost effective, safe way to get your large boat where you really want it to go, a first-class international shipping service will meet your needs.


Whether you want to ship a vehicle in addition to a large boat, boats on trailer or cradle, jet skis, and other items, K International ships it all.  From the yacht to the sailboat, we are able to carefully and quickly move your important luxury items to your next destination.  Roll-on/roll-off vessels are able to ship to nearly any international port, giving you the ultimate access to any destination.  We can even build a customized cradle for your boat, ensuring its safety and delivery, as a customized cradle keeps the boat stable during transport.

Smaller, lightweight boats (under 44,000 pounds) can be lashed into and shipped in a container, saving even more money and providing a secure method of transport.  In all things, K International strives to provide the best rates, the most secure deliver, but also world-class service.

But going with a first-class shipper means more than just proper loading techniques.  We also offer door pick-up and inland transport of boats on a trailer or cradle and we can provide inland towing for boats on a trailer and specialized step-deck or expandable trailers for boats on cradles.  Is your boat too large for the road?  No problem.  It can be delivered port-side in the United States via any water delivery service.

Why not find out why K International has been the go-to choice for hundreds of boat transports, both large and small?  Our reputation speaks for itself!

International Construction Equipment Shipping of Kobelco Products



A steel manufacturing company based in Kobe, Japan, Kobelco is known worldwide as a source of reliable and sturdy construction equipment. With the increase of the company’s popularity came the increased demand for international construction equipment shipping services. That’s where an international shipping company comes in.

If shipping overseas from the United States, the shipping company will help you transport the equipment, whether you are shipping a Kobelco Crane, bulldozer, or excavator, to a nearby port. Some popular ports in the United States include those in New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, California, and more. If needed, the international shipping company can offer inland trucking and transportation services to move the Kobelco equipment from the warehouse to the port.

Once the equipment arrives at the port, the shipping company will either utilize container shipping or roll-on/roll off (ro/ro) shipping, depending on the specific heavy equipment being shipped. Both alternatives will allow for a safe transport overseas, and will protect the Kobelco product from the elements.

One the equipment arrives overseas in the target country in Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, or almost anywhere else, the shipping company will unload the cargo. The remainder of the international shipping services will be used for customs clearance and anything related to unloading and transporting the cargo.

Kobelco products are reliable and easy to ship overseas: today is the day for overseas transport!

Shipping a Vintage Mercedes Benz Overseas is Easier than it Sounds


Although there is a high demand for international shipping of vintage automobiles, the process can potentially cause anxiety in the person seeking the international automobile shipping services. How can I trust that my 1950 Mercedes Benz will arrive at the target destination safely and without a scratch? How do I know if it is loaded carefully? How can I be sure that I am paying a reasonable price for these services?

With a reliable international shipping company, these worries will seem irrational. The vintage Mercedes will first be brought to a port in the United States, possible one in New York, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Texas, or California. If needed, inland trucking and transportation services can be utilized if the automobile is located outside of a port city.

Once at the port, the shipping company can ensure that the vintage automobile is safely loaded onto a vessel or container with roll-on/roll-off shipping services. Ro/ro will load your vehicle safely and efficiently so you won’t have to worry.

Finally, the 1950 Mercedes Benz will be shipped to another port overseas, whether it is in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, or anywhere else on the planet.

Once the automobile arrives, the company’s international shipping services will take care of unloading and customs clearance. At this point, your vintage Mercedes Benz will be in your hands once again, in the same condition as when you last saw it.

Finally, the last concern many have is the price of these services. With a reliable shipping company, you can get an international shipping quote or a rate request on the website. This price should be reasonable and affordable, and will take care of all the services you need to ship your automobile overseas safely.

Interested in Exporting or Importing? Important Considerations

We live in a globalized marketplace with goods being purchased around the world, manufactured in exciting locations and shipped to even more countries.  There is very little that can’t be shipped to another country and very few countries where shipments aren’t accepted, so if you have been considering getting into the import/export business, here are a few important considerations.

There are better, more cost effective ways to distribute and market products in an overseas market without the cost of having to set up office overseas. Overseas places of business require a host of regulations, visas and other scenarios that make the option of exporting to or importing from another country prohibitively expensive.

It is also the case that your potential seller or American customer, if you are already abroad, may not want the hassle of overseas shipping formalities, thus avoiding the unpleasantries of customs other freight issues.  The paperwork can be formidable, but you shouldn’t let these issues put you off of importing or exporting.

What you need is an excellent middle man – someone to help file the proper paperwork, ensure your shipments are handled with the best of care and delivered with the proper letters of credit.  K International specializes in a wide range of international shipping services.  As a business that can follow up on purchase orders, ensure shipments are loaded properly, deal with import regulations, perform export customs clearance, consolidate any shipments at warehouses in US ports, collect payment, if necessary, and utilize our vast global network of reliable shipping companies, you will be in good hands.

Don’t let fear of paperwork or lack of an international office keep you from exploring the very viable – and lucrative – business of export/import.  You will find with a proper partner like K International, your shipping worries are all solved!
