Door-to-door service to Tomakomai Port from 22 countries/regions worldwide
Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Mitsuru Saito, President), will be adding an import consolidated transport service to its Korea Multi-Country/regions Consolidation (MCC) Service* from May 18.
Multi-Country/regions Consolidation (MCC) Service
A service that conveys cargo bound for multiple destinations (countries/regions) from Japan to a hub port for transshipment/consolidation and forwarding
In October 2013 Nippon Express launched its Korea MCC Service that accepts small-lot cargo at local ports in Japan, especially those on the Sea of Japan coast, consolidates this cargo by destination, and exports it to destinations worldwide via Busan. This service was first offered at five ports - Tomakomai, Ishikari, Niigata, Fushiki-toyama and Kanazawa - but the ports of Naoetsu and Hakata have since been added to enable shipments from seven ports in Japan to 36 ports in 21 other countries/regions.
In response to customer needs, the aforementioned export consolidation service is being supplemented by a new import consolidation service initially available at Tomakomai. The Nippon Express Group will aggregate cargo from multiple customers in 56 cities in 22 countries/regions, including the US, who are shipping less than full container loads and transport this cargo safely and securely door-to-door.
Nippon Express intends to expand this service to other ports as customer demand.
For example, freight for shipments from Singapore CFS to Tomakomai CFS (using Nippon Express services) would be reduced significantly
Route | Freight | Lead time | |
---|---|---|---|
Conventional service | Singapore - Tokyo Port - Tomakomai Port | 40-50% | x1.5 |
New service | Singapore - Busan Port - Tomakomai Port |
