One is to use one 20ft or 40ft ocean container, and the container will be put on the container vessel.
Another way is to use a car carrier, without using 20ft/40ft ocean container.
| Advantage | Disadvantage | |
|---|---|---|
| 20ft/40ft container | Safe *1 Vessel availability once a week Can send personal item in the rooms. *2 | Expensive |
| Car carrier *5 | Cheap | Not safe *3 Vessel availability once a month Can't send personal item together with a car *4 |
| As one container is used-up by yourself, no other shipper can co-load. Then it is the safest way. | |
| *1 | As one container is used-up by yourself, no other shipper can co-load. Then it is the safest way. |
| *2 | There will be some rooms in the 20ft/40ft ocean container,
then you can put your personal item in the rooms. Normally, 20ft container can put upto total volume of 30cbm at its maximum. And the normal sedan car such like TOYOTA CORROLA will occupy 22cbm then approx 8cbm could be a room for the personal items. |
| *3 | A car must be surredered with its key, then anyperson can open it. While a car is kept around vessel side area, it is a most dangerous timing to be stolen its parts. |
| *4 | A captain is not unwilling to accept your car with the personal items, as he has suffered some robbery during the voyage. Basically, the carrier will not accept your car with personal items. |
| *5 | Car carrier is originally developped for exporting new cars, however, recently, not so many new car could be exported that we will be able to make use of this car carrier. Motorbikes are not allowed to put on this car carrier. |
