People's Climate March and International Shipping

This past weekend, history was made. The People's Climate March, which took place on Sunday, September 21st, protested lawmakers' lack of concern for issues of climate change. It was also in response to the upcoming United Nations meeting on climate change, which will take place later today. Overall, approximately 310,000 people showed up. 

So what does this have to do with K International Transport and international shipping services


Over the years, more and more international shipping companies have been adopting more "green" methods of overseas shipping.

The Green Port Program's ultimate goal is to "achieve long-term environmental, societal, and economic benefits through resource conservation, waste reduction, and pollution prevention." However, the Port of San Diego is not the only port involved in this initiative. Ports along the east and west coast of the United States are all hopping aboard.

Ro-Ro Shipping and NYC Ferry!

All international shipping companies and their clients know about roll-on/roll off shipping because it is an efficient way to board cargo onto a vessel before shipping it off to another port. 

However, not many people know that there is a very popular ro-ro transport system in New York City! 

Of course, we're talking about the Staten Island Ferry!


Although the ferry now only carries passengers going from Staten Island to Manhattan or vice versa, it used to carry automobiles as well!

Before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, you could transport your car from Staten Island to Manhattan for only $3! Your car would be loaded onto the ferry easily because of roll-on/roll-off services, and transported with no hassle. 

Although K International Transport cannot get your car on the ferry, we can offer you many other international shipping service to ship your car overseas:

  • International shipping from any port in the United States, including those in New York, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, California, and more!

International Shipping Restrictions

Although reliable international shipping companies can offer to ship your cargo to almost anywhere in the world. However, there are a few exceptions. 

Because of the numerous international conflicts currently occurring, international shipping services to some countries are restricted. 


Some of these restricted countries are:
  • Iran
  • Cuba 
  • Syria
  • Russia
  • North Korea
  • Sudan
  • Somalia
  • Iraq
  • and many more. 

Some of these countries have trade embargoes set on them by the United States, and the United Nations, while other countries cannot be accessed at all. 

Conflicts like the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the destabilization of both Sudan and Syria, the tension between the U.S and North Korea, all dictate what international shipping services can and cannot do. 



For international shipping to other countries, K International Transport can help ship almost any cargo overseas through ports in the United States. However, anyone interested in international shipping should also know how the international political climate affects where items can cannot be shipped.
