I've looked at a couple of different options, including air freight directly into Vlad. That quote was over $16,000. So that was a hard pass haha.

FESCO quoted me Seatle to Vlad via ocean freight at about $3,100 for an entire 20ft container (more than I need for the 3 bikes).

I looked into the Korea ferry option, but it seemed like people were paying about $250 for their personal ticket, plus another $500 to transport the motos. So that's $700 per person just get from Korea to Vlad, not including actually getting to Korea. If I can get the 3 Bikes to Korea for $1000 (which seems like it would be too good to be true), then I'm still paying the same amount of money ($700 X 3 for the ferry + $1000 to get to Korea) as I am for the direct Seatle to Vlad container.

That being said, maybe my costs for the Korea leg are all wrong.

I'll reach out to that Green Line Trade company about the RoRo. I didn't see anything about that on the FESCO site.

Read your post about your time there -- I hear you loud and clear about patience running out in some of these places, but seems like you've been having quite the adventure!


Cheers!

Gino
Vlad cannot take the wide body aircraft, hence the prices.

Unfortunately the price you pay, is what they ask. I'd say go for the LEI to Korea option, as that way you get an extra county. Sea freight is unpredictable for arrival times.

The cost is just part of the trip.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
