Shipping question: from Guam to the west coast of the USA?
 

All:

Friend of mine has a lead on a cheap/free fire truck. Slight logistical issue: it's on Guam. I don't think it will fit in a shipping container. RORO? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Break Bulk carrier

We usually ship towards Guam.

Ocean Freight Services - MSA-Logistics

Or

Welcome to Project Transport - Freight Service to Hawaii, Guam, Pacific Islands, and Alaska

Following, currently living on Guam will be moving back to US in next two years.



There are some companies which will provide a roll on/off service on-island. Transport time is considerably longer than if a container is used. I have heard it can take upto 6 weeks. Only boat operator on-island currently is Matson servicing the West Coast. Another carrier was to begin service servicing the west Coast through Japan but I am unaware if their first ship has arrived.

And sometimes things don't quite get there. Here is the SS Guam Bear after being rammed by the ESSO Seattle at the entrance to Apra Harbor on Guam. January 1967.

I will ask my wife. She used to be in the shipping business until she retired to have our rug rats. If I don't post a reply, that means my absentmindedness has come through again or getting my ass chewed by her, again.
