To Russia by ship

Hello and Greetings! I just signed up for your site as I have found it very helpful and informative in reading others posts, though I am not actually planning on Cycling myself. I am going to be trying to Hike, Hitch, and Hop as is my m/o in the states.

I am writing to ask questions about Shipping. I am wanting to go to the Russian East by boat (and in this instance I intend on paying for my fair... sneaking through US ports is a good way to get DHS on your ass, and something tell me sneaking through a Cargo port is not the way to start off on good terms in anothers country)

I have just written FESCO about they're North American FPL/FPLR inquiring about booking a berth. Does anyone know of any other shippers incase this does not work out? Anyone have any experience traveling by Ship? If the company says 'no' would it be worth hanging around the Port and seeing who I can bribe? I live near Everett, which is where the North American end of their line seems to be.

Any Information is helpful, and I'm not planning on travel until next spring.
Thanks!

Try giving Bob Erion a ring or email him for advice berion.exo@radiantdelivers.com phone +1 425 943 4542 . He is based in Seattle and helped us ship our bikes out to Vladivostok, not sure if he can help with what you want , but maybe worth a chance.

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.
