Shipping to the Americas from Far eastern Russia
so, after doing some research ive come to the conlcusion that at this point in time there really is no way to ship a motorcycle via air freight from either Magadan or Vladivostok to Anchorage or any other place in North america.
Can somebody confirm this ?
Now im looking for alternatives.
What I found so far and what seems to be the best option is to take the ferry to either South Korea or Japan and ship from there.
Does anyone here have any experience with this route ?

Vlad shipping
Contact yuri melnikov or svetlana sven at Links in Vlad. I dont have their number handi, but I got the original info from this site a few years ago. They got my Landy back to Europe. Very professional. Good English. Told me the best NA port is Vancouver. I can most highly recommend them and would immediately use them again. Also met Australians going eest in
Ulan Bataar who used these guys. Seems like they are the team to call for transport in Vlad. Korea would have turned out to be far more expensive as the ferry is high priced, especially in the direction Busan to Vlad.

Call Yuri Melnikov or Svetlana Sven at Links in Vlad. I don't have their details handy but I found them myself on the Hubb several years ago. They are teh team in Vlad and did a great job getting my vehicle back to Europe. They told me that the best Canadian port is Vancouver and that they have good contacts there. I also looked at shipping via Korea and Japan but there is a very expensive ferry connection which makes that optio unattractive, at least for vehicles.

i already talked to yuri. there are no options to ship from russia via plane. only via ship and that takes too long. i will be going with the korea option. the ferry isnt that expenisve considering what air freight will cost and waiting 2-3 months for the bike to arrive in canda simply isnt an option.
