Proposing new goods transportation systems
This division leverages the Company's rich experience in marine transportation to design transportation systems tailored to each customer's unique needs, based on the key concepts of safety, reliability, speed, and low cost.[ Comprehensive Intermodal Transportation ]
In cases where freight is to be transported over very long distances, Nippon Marine offers combined land-and-sea "door-to-door" transport and delivery services that utilize the shortest and most economical routes. This system has the following advantages.
- The use of ships cuts costs by eliminating much of the expensive journey by road, thus cutting down the cost of truck drivers' pay, as well as expenses for truck maintenance, fuel costs, and toll road charges.
- As drive-on-drive-off truck carrier vessels ("car ferries") are used, loading and unloading operations are eliminated, thereby dramatically reducing costs associated with damage to freight.
- As transport by car ferry is subject to fewer delays than transport by road, it is generally both faster and safer. The delivery and warehousing of goods can thus be planned more precisely.
- Because Nippon Marine serves as a "one-stop shop" for goods transportation, the whole process is much more convenient for the Company's customers.
