How to Transport Your Car, Bus, Truck or Equipment
CarPool Korea presents different shipping methods so buyers can compare options for their vehicle, destination and confirmed shipping arrangement.
Container shipping can place one or more eligible vehicles or items inside a container under a confirmed arrangement.
It may suit some multi-vehicle shipments, routes and inland destinations, depending on the confirmed booking.
Container Vessel Shipping
Container shipping normally requires inland movement, container-yard handling, loading and securing or shoring work before the container is sealed and loaded onto the vessel.
Suitability depends on vehicle dimensions, cargo condition, destination, route, container availability, carrier rules and the approved quotation.
How Costs May Be Calculated
Vehicle Securing / Shoring
Positioning, supporting and securing vehicles or equipment inside the container.
Inland Transport
Moving the vehicle to the confirmed container yard or loading point.
Ocean Freight
Sea transport under the confirmed vessel and destination arrangement.
Additional Charges
Possible terminal handling, container fees, documentation or related charges.
Final charges depend on the approved quotation, cargo dimensions, route, carrier, container arrangement and destination requirements.
What Is Container Shoring?
Shoring means positioning, supporting and securing vehicles or equipment inside a container. The approved method depends on cargo dimensions, container type, loading plan and operational requirements — there is no single universal loading method.
