Shipping your motorcycle in South Korea

Depending on your travel destination and schedule your budget might vary.
I recommend you to get quotes from both international companies and domestic companies for the best deal.

Basically if you travel from Russia or Japan via ship, you would be able to travel with your motorcycle.

Finding international companies might start from searching information from Google.com

You should be able to find numerous overseas transporters.

Incase of domestic companies, it is more difficult to find in Google.
For your convenience, I list following selected companies.
I do not specifically recommend any specific company, but all of following companies have fair reputation and experience.
Most of them have the English webpage with Multi-lingual service representative.
The best way to reach them would be firstly requesting them an e-mail quote and call.

1) Hyundai Shipping
Website http://www.cyhds.com/eng/index.html

2) Hanjin Shipping
Website http://www.hanjin.com/hanjin/CUP_HOM_1001.do

3) GANA Shipping
Website http://www.24gana.com/content/
They seem to not have English website, so I put down additional information
Tel +82-2-737-1838 (Sales Rep)
E-mail: 24gana@hanmail.net

In addition, I would like to introduce the company named EUKOR.

4) EUKOR
Website http://www.eukor.com/index.jsp
EUKOR is not a domestic company but this company has various shipping routes.
(Check service routes at http://www.eukor.com/homepage/eukor/routes_overview.jsp)

Please compare quotes from several transporters to get the best rate and schedule.
Depending on packing options, single crate, volume container, or individual roll-in on roll-off would be possible.

Every year, there are many motorcycle enthusiasts coming from Russia and Japan via ships,
and from Canada, Europe and USA via airfreight. Usually the best season for motorcycle riding would be
between April and June / August and November in Korea. Monsoon seasons are typically between late June to July.
Once you're in Korea, we can help you planning routes, arranging a meeting and setting up your GPS.

Also, If you ride BMW, I can introduce authorized BMW Korean dealer that can help pre-checkup and securing crating.
(I happen to be a GS rider, that’s all.)

For additional information about GlobeRiders-K, please contact me.

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.
