NX Group launches "Vienna Consolidation" ocean freight service from Japan to Central and Eastern Europe

Nippon Express Co., Ltd., (President: Shinjiro Takezoe; hereinafter "Nippon Express"), a group company of NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (President: Satoshi Horikiri), in collaboration with fellow group company cargo-partner GmbH (President: Luca Ferrara; hereinafter "cargo-partner"), has launched a "Vienna Consolidation" service for exports from Japan to Central and Eastern Europe. 【Background to service development】 With recent years seeing a rise in the demand for export cargo to Central and Eastern Europe, the limited consolidation service options for shipments originating in Japan have become an issue. To address this growing demand, Nippon Express worked with cargo-partner, whose network spans Central and Eastern Europe, to develop a cross-dock consolidation service to Central and Eastern Europe based out of its Vienna CFS. 【Overview of Vienna Consolidation service】 This service covers transport from major ports in Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Hakata, Moji) to a total of 26 destinations in Central and Eastern Europe (Vienna, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Zagreb, Prague, Budapest, etc.). Nippon Express uses FP1, which sails non-stop from Japan to Northern Europe, for containerized transport of cargo to the Vienna CFS, where the containers are offloaded and the cargo devanned and transported to its respective destinations. The NX Group handles the cargo from origin to destination, ensuring high-quality, safe, and reliable service. 【Features of the service】 ・ A wide variety of destinations Service to the entire Central and Eastern European region is available from the Vienna CFS. Nippon Express provides extensive first-rate services using the trunk-line transport offered by cargo-partner's numerous business locations throughout the region. ・ High transport quality Containerized cargo is shipped directly from Japan to Northern Europe and then transported to the Vienna CFS. NX Group business locations perform all CFS tasks at both origin and destination to maintain high transport quality. ・ Attractive pricing Customers can save an average of 20-30% compared to traditional service pricing. The NX Group remains committed to making full use of all forms of transport to support its customers' business expansion on a global scale.
