Environmental initiatives

With environmental issues becoming a major focus on global scale, the attention of domestic shipping as an environmentally friendly means of transportation is growing. For example, energy efficiency. The "energy consumption" that transports one ton of cargo is reduced to about 1/7 of that of cargo trucks and CO2 emissions to about 1/6. It has also attracted attention as a carrier for truck transport freight, which has become a serious driver shortage in recent years.
