Modal shift supporting the future of the logistics industry
connects eight major ports nationwide with eight regular RORO vessels and one container ship, handles trailer cargo and containersKinkai Yusen's maritime transport service, which
enabling efficient transportation, reducing transit times, and lowering logistics costs.
Because it utilizes sea transport, the risk of cargo damage is low, allowing for a highly safe service. Furthermore, it
can handle large quantities of essential goods, from daily necessities to food, beverages, and home appliances, all transported in a single shipment.
Kinkai Yusen's sea transport service is an environmentally friendly transportation method that allows for low-cost, long-distance transport of large volumes of cargo, playing a powerful role in promoting modal shift.
RORO liner service
We operate eight RORO vessels. Our transport range covers the entire Japanese archipelago, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, playing a vital role in domestic logistics.
RORO vessels allow vehicles such as trailers and cars loaded with cargo to roll on and roll off under their own power, eliminating the need for specialized cranes and other cargo handling equipment. This allows for speedy loading and unloading, making them ideal for transporting agricultural products and fresh foods.
In addition, our vessels are equipped with power supply facilities, enabling us to transport refrigerated and frozen trucks as well.
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

Please entrust your international container feeder and domestic container cargo transportation needs 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 fits 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.
