Dear Hans
We know a lot about this – having shipped some 80 aircraft in containers around the world.
The actual shipping costs are relatively low – today probably less than US$4,000 across the Atlantic.
However the real cost is in disassembling the aeroplane, making really good jigs to support the wings; getting ‘transport undercarriage’ to support the fuselage; packing the entire lot really securely in a container.
This needs to be done in a way that if the container is turned upside down, the aircraft doesn’t move!
You then have a variety of other costs such as loading the container on to a truck; port charges; harbour dues; unloading in Europe; trucking; customs clearance etc etc.
Then of course you have reassembly and paperwork. We always say in round terms it costs US$10,000 but it obviously depends.
I hope this helps.
Best regards Richard
