– Battery Regulations: Electric and hybrid vehicles are powered by high-voltage lithium-ion batteries, which are classified as hazardous materials due to their potential fire and explosion risks. Shipping lines must comply with international regulations for the transport of hazardous materials, such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. These regulations impose specific handling, packaging, and documentation requirements for vehicles with lithium-ion batteries.
– Safety Concerns: Shipping lines prioritize safety during transportation. Electric and hybrid cars have complex electrical systems and advanced technologies, which may require specific handling procedures to prevent any potential safety hazards. Some shipping lines may have restrictions to ensure proper handling and minimize risks associated with these vehicles.
– Specialized Equipment: Electric and hybrid cars often require specialized handling equipment, such as charging stations or facilities to deal with battery-related emergencies. Not all shipping lines may have the necessary infrastructure or expertise to handle these vehicles, leading to restrictions or limited availability.
– Insurance Considerations: Insuring electric and hybrid vehicles during transit can be more complex and potentially more expensive due to their unique features and technology. Some shipping lines may have restrictions or specific insurance requirements for these vehicles to ensure proper coverage in case of any damages or incidents during transportation.
