Shippers Enjoy Better Conditions

International shipping, from moving your household abroad to shipping heavy equipment to start a new business overseas, it pays to know what is going on in the world of shipping.  Even if you aren’t directly involved in the shipping business, as a customer of that industry’s services, it pays to know what costs are being passed on to you!  Fortunately, while some conditions have been troublesome for a while, other conditions are improving, meaning savings to you.

Shipping conditions haven’t been great for a while now.  Conditions refer to everything from weather to political regulations and anything else that creates a less than ideal environment in which to move your cargo abroad.  This can also include a serious lack of available truckers, an ongoing problem faced by that sector of the industry.  The good news for customers is that rate increases and fuel prices are remaining steady and should remain so for the rest of the year. 

So if you are planning a serious move, now is the time.  Moving overseas is actually much more affordable than people imagine it might be.  There are numerous ways to save on services, such as packing your own things, but crate shipping, packing and unloading services are more affordable than they have been in years, all things considered.  But don’t delay too long.  If you have a move planned in the next 12 months, you might want to go ahead and arrange the details now.


After all, reports indicate that going into 2016, conditions are probably going to deteriorate, most likely from new regulations for domestic shippers (rail and trucking) in terms of costs and capacity.  During difficult times, working with a great logistics company can help you put all the pieces together with the least amount of headache.

Shipping a Vintage Mercedes Benz Overseas to Port Zeebrugge, Belgium 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?

The need for Car Carrier Service for International Shipping


When people picture international shipping, they usually have the same image in mind: a container loaded onto a vessel going from port to port.

However, this is a simplified version of the shipping process. Many times, the client will be unable to transport their cargo from a warehouse to the port before it is shipped overseas. In this case, a reliable company's international shipping services come into play.

Once it is determined that the client is unable to move the cargo, the international shipping company arranges a car carrier through their inland trucking and transportation services to transport the cargo from the client's whereabouts, to the port in question.



For example, if John Doe is shipping a vintage 1955 Chevrolet from Missouri to the Abu Dhabi, but is unable to bring his automobile to the Port of Baltimore, a car carrier service can be arranged. The car carrier will careful and efficiently transport the automobile to Baltimore, where it will be loaded onto the roll-on/ roll-off vessel and shipped to Abu Dhabi.

These services can be arranged with a freight forwarding company's international automobile shipping services, and can prove useful for those unable to transport their cargo across long distances before it is shipped overseas.

Why Does Cargo Shipping Vary So Much?

One of the top requests from customers is a price that is “everything included.”  In truth, that is a very difficult number to obtain without a bit more information from you!  But still, here are a few helpful tips for determining what goes into your cargo shipping price.

Where will pick up happen?  As the first step in the process, pick up can determine a lot about your shipping charges.  Will a trucking company need to move the item to an export packing warehouse, or will it go directly to port?  Will you be able to load your freight at your location?

How something is loaded can also cause the charges to vary.  Just like you might handle a precious antique more carefully than you would a cardboard box of stuffed animals and toys, loading for shipping is similar.  Automobiles and motorcycles often must be drained of gas, batteries disconnected and packed so as not to be damaged during shipping.  There may be special crating, ramps to load multiple cars, oversize cargo charges and other issues to contend with.

Ocean shipping methods also vary.  Container services, roll-on/roll-off shipping, breakbulk transport – there are specific methods for specific circumstances.  There are also different rates for different services. 

The paperwork and the delivery charges can also vary.  There is a lot of paperwork involved, and it really does pay to have a professional handle this service for you.  Whether you are dealing with an ocean bill of lading, handling a letter of credit, providing certificates of insurance or preparing export declarations, you name it, it’s worth having it done right.  Once your cargo arrives at its destination, there is another handling charge to get the containers off the ship, transporting them to their final destination and unpacking will result in further charges.


Just like a restaurant menu, shipping charges will vary based on what you order.  Having a good understanding of the breakdown in pricing and why charges are made can help you more fully understand the process!
