Shipping Commercial Vehicles to Chile: Expert Solutions

Transporting commercial vehicles to Chile, including trucks, articulated lorries, trailers, and specialised haulage equipment, demands a logistics partner with proven expertise. The distance, complex regulations, and the substantial size of the cargo necessitate a specialist approach. Ocean Cargo delivers precisely that: efficient, secure, and tailored transport solutions designed to meet your specific requirements.

Selecting the Optimal Shipping Method: RoRo and Flat Rack Options

Ocean Cargo provides two primary methods for transporting your vehicles to Chile, each offering distinct advantages. The ideal method depends on factors such as vehicle dimensions, weight, and budgetary constraints.

Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping: Efficiency and Economy

RoRo shipping offers a streamlined and often economical solution for transporting many vehicles. Trucks and trailers are driven directly onto the vessel, minimising handling and reducing the risk of damage during transit. This method simplifies the process, making it an attractive option for many clients. However, its suitability is contingent on the vehicle's dimensions and the available space on the designated vessel. Ocean Cargo conducts a thorough assessment of your equipment to determine if RoRo is the most appropriate solution.

Flat Rack Containers: Flexibility for Oversized Vehicles

For oversized or out-of-gauge equipment, flat rack containers offer a flexible and secure transport alternative. These containers provide exceptional adaptability, accommodating vehicles that exceed standard dimensions. While this method provides greater flexibility, loading and unloading procedures are more complex than RoRo, potentially increasing overall costs. Ocean Cargo provides a detailed cost analysis to ensure complete transparency throughout the process.

Navigating Chilean Customs Regulations

Successful navigation of Chilean customs regulations is essential for timely and cost-effective delivery. Ocean Cargo's experienced team expertly manages all necessary documentation, ensuring a smooth and efficient customs clearance process. We prepare and submit all required documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and certificates of origin, meticulously adhering to all regulations to prevent delays and penalties. Our extensive experience with Chilean customs allows us to anticipate and resolve potential issues proactively.

Protecting Your Assets: Insurance and Risk Management

The value of your commercial vehicles necessitates robust protection during transit. Ocean Cargo recommends cargo insurance to safeguard against damage, loss, or theft. Our team can assist you in selecting the appropriate level of coverage, considering potential risks and associated expenses. We collaborate with reputable insurance providers to ensure you receive the best possible protection for your assets.

Our Methodical Approach

Ocean Cargo's dedication to excellence extends to every stage of the transport process. Our methodical approach ensures a successful outcome, from initial assessment to final delivery. We:

  • Conduct a detailed assessment of your cargo's dimensions and weight to determine the most efficient and cost-effective shipping method.
  • Develop detailed route plans, anticipating potential logistical challenges and implementing proactive mitigation strategies.
  • Employ secure packaging and lashing techniques to minimise the risk of damage during transit, protecting your investment throughout the journey.
