Modal shift supporting the future of the logistics industry
Kinkai Yusen 's marine transport services, which handle trailer cargo and containers, connect eight major ports across the country with eight regular RORO ships and one container ship,
enable efficient transport, shortening transport times and reducing logistics costs.
Because transportation is by sea, there is a low risk of cargo damage, allowing for highly safe services, and the items handled
can range from everyday items to food, drinking water, home appliances, and other essentials for daily life, all transported in large quantities in one shipment.
Kinkai Yusen 's sea transportation service is an environmentally friendly means of transportation that can transport large amounts of cargo long distances at low cost, and plays a powerful role in promoting modal shift.
RORO liner service
We operate eight RORO ships. Our transport range covers the entire Japanese archipelago, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and serves as a major artery of domestic logistics.
RORO ships allow vehicles such as trailers and cars loaded with cargo to roll on and off by themselves, eliminating the need for specialized cranes and other cargo handling equipment, allowing for speedy loading and unloading, making them suitable for transporting agricultural products and fresh foods.
In addition, our ships are equipped with power supply facilities, and we can also transport refrigerated and frozen vehicles.
Extensive domestic logistics
Our shipping network encompasses both the Sea of Japan and Pacific coasts, enabling us to deliver to cities across the country.
Fast loading and unloading time
Loading and unloading can be done by trucks and trailers that are self-propelled, which significantly reduces loading and unloading time.
Improving logistics efficiency
This reduces the long-distance and long-term transport by land, easing the burden on truck drivers.
safe transportation
The high stability of the large vessel (length 160m-180m) reduces the risk of cargo damage.
Driver's Room Information
On the Tsuruga/Tomakomai and Hitachinaka/Tomakomai routes, we will provide fully private rooms where drivers can relax and feel safe. Please take this opportunity to help improve the working environment for drivers.
Container Shipping Services
Through our business partnership with Suzuyo Kaiun Co., Ltd., we are now able to provide nationwide container ship services.
Please leave the transportation of international container feeders and domestic container cargo to us.
Cooperation between major and regional ports
Small container ships can call at ports ranging from large international major ports to small to medium-sized regional ports, meeting a wide range of customer transportation needs.
Optimizing logistics costs
By using ocean container transport, which allows for the transportation of large volumes of cargo at once, it is possible to reduce the transportation cost per unit.
Supports a wide range of currencies
We can transport any cargo that can be loaded into a 20-foot or 40-foot container.
We will propose a container that best suits your cargo.
modal shift
Small container ships can add new ports of call even with smaller transport volumes than ferries or large ships, and large-volume, long-distance transport by ship reduces CO2 emissions.
Addressing social issues
This will reduce the number of people required for long-distance transport to address driver and vehicle shortages, and will also enable multi-mode transport for business continuity planning (BCP) in the event of a disaster.
