Modal shift to domestic shipping eliminates the need to secure long-haul trucks.
This contributes to resolving labor shortages, implementing business continuity planning (BCP) measures, and reducing CO2 emissions.
This is a maritime transport service that utilizes the "transshipment facilities" at ports.
"NX Truck & Sea" is a maritime transport service that allows goods to be brought in from anywhere, thanks to transshipment facilities installed at major ports on the "Himawari," a domestic shipping vessel operated by the NX Group.
Utilizing the "NX Transit Port" transshipment facilities installed at Tomakomai Port, Tokyo Port, and Hakata Port, we transfer cargo brought in by customer-arranged trucks into shipping containers or 13m trailers, transport them by sea on the "Himawari" vessel, and then deliver them to the customer's location.
| Support locations | Tomakomai Port / Tokyo Port / Hakata Port (NX Transit port installed) |

These are dedicated transshipment facilities located at Tomakomai Port, Tokyo Port, and Hakata Port. Because they are covered, operations can be carried out even in rainy weather, and we safely and reliably transfer cargo brought in by our customers into shipping containers and 13-meter trailers.
