[Background to service development]
The increasingly strict biosecurity measures imposed at Shanghai Pudong Airport have resulted in a continual string of flight cancellations by airlines that make it difficult to rely on air transport, while port congestion at Shanghai Port has put container vessels considerably behind schedule. These circumstances have given rise to greater need for LCL (small-lot consolidation) products offering speed and punctuality, and Nippon Express developed the "Kansai Special Rapid Service" in-house consolidated service as a BCP-compatible solution that uses high-speed ferries to transport cargo from the Shanghai CFS to the Osaka CFS/Kobe CFS in five days.
Nippon Express will continue leveraging its integrated capabilities to develop new transport products adapted to changes in the business environment that meet the logistics needs of its customers.
