NX Hakata Island City Global Logistics Center

A logistics hub serving the transportation needs of Kyushu, a major center for semiconductor manufacturing. With on-site packaging facilities, this innovative warehouse supports imports and exports via Hakata Port, as well as domestic transportation.

Solution Overview

Kyushu, as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing, has seen a growing demand for the import and export of heavy and precision machinery, including manufacturing equipment. However, there has been a shortage of port-adjacent logistics bases. The NX Hakata Island City Global Logistics Center boasts an excellent location adjacent to the Hakata Port Island City Container Terminal, integrating a packaging plant and container loading functions into one location. Furthermore, it is equipped with one of Kyushu's largest 40-ton overhead cranes, a 10-ton lifter, and an all-weather structure, enabling it to handle heavy and precision machinery such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Implementation effects

  • One-stop service for packaging and container loading.

    The previously separate packaging plant and container loading base have been integrated into a single location. This eliminates the need for truck transfers, reducing transportation time and logistics costs.

  • Kyushu's largest capacity for handling heavy loads

    With five cranes, including a 40-ton crane, and two 10-ton lifters, we can handle heavy and large machinery such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment and machine tools.

  • All-weather and high-pressure resistant safety

    Our indoor loading and unloading area, which can be sealed with shutters, and our high-pressure-resistant floor (3 tons per square meter) reduce the risk of rain damage and cargo damage. You can entrust even precision machinery to us with peace of mind.

  • CO₂ reduction through port-adjacent location

    Located directly connected to a container terminal, it minimizes drayage transport distances. This reduces transport time and simultaneously lowers CO₂ emissions associated with transportation.

Access from major locations

Located in the heart of Hakata Port Island City, it offers quick access to major airports and ports in Kyushu. It can also be utilized as a hub for multimodal transport combining airports and ports.
