Nippon Express Launches New Maritime Service from Japan to Eastern Europe
In a significant development for international logistics, Nippon Express Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC., has launched a new maritime service called "Vienna Consolidation." This service is specifically designed for exports moving from Japan to regions in Central and Eastern Europe. Collaborating with its affiliate, cargo-partner GmbH, Nippon Express aims to plug the gap in consolidation options for Japanese shipments amidst a rising demand for exports to these European destinations.
Background of the Service
Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable increase in the demand for export freight to Central and Eastern Europe. However, the limited options for cargo consolidation originating from Japan have posed challenges for exporters. To address this issue effectively, Nippon Express worked closely with cargo-partner, which possesses an extensive network throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Together, they developed a cross-dock consolidation service that operates from their consolidated freight station (CFS) in Vienna, which will facilitate smoother and more efficient shipping processes to both European regions.
Overview of Vienna Consolidation Service
The newly introduced Vienna Consolidation service encompasses a robust logistics chain that includes transport from several key Japanese ports such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Hakata, and Moji, to twenty-six destinations across Central and Eastern Europe. The service utilizes the FP1 vessel, which provides a direct route from Japan to Northern Europe. Upon arrival at the Vienna CFS, containers will be unloaded, and the goods will be sorted and dispatched to their respective destinations.
Key Features of the Service
1. Diverse Destinations: The offering covers a wide array of locations throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including major cities like Vienna, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Zagreb, Prague, and Budapest. Nippon Express aims to deliver extensive and top-notch services through long-distance transport capabilities provided by cargo-partner’s numerous regional offices.
2. High Transportation Quality: Ensuring a premium quality of service is a cornerstone of this operation. Containerized cargo will be shipped directly from Japan to Northern Europe and subsequently transported to the Vienna CFS. The various branches of the NX Group will handle all CFS tasks at both the origin and destination points to maintain high transportation standards.
3. Attractive Pricing: Clients will benefit from significant cost savings, with an average reduction of 20-30% compared to traditional service prices. This competitive pricing, combined with high-quality logistics services, makes the Vienna Consolidation an appealing option for businesses looking to expand their reach into European markets.
With the launch of the Vienna Consolidation service, Nippon Express reaffirms its commitment to utilizing every transport method available to support the global business expansion of its clients. By streamlining logistics and improving accessibility to European markets, the NX Group positions itself as a leader in the industry, ready to tackle increasing demands and navigate the complexities of international freight transport.
