Project shipment to Japan

Origin: Europe
Destination: Japan
Time of delivery: 8/2024

This shipment, as a part of a larger project to Asia, is destined to the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. This project cargo is loaded at specialized terminal in the port of export which often proves to be an efficient way to handle oversized shipments.

The maritime routes between North-Western Europe and Japanese ports are well-established. However, the primary challenge often lies in transporting oversized items within Japan itself.

Did you know that in Japan, the designated port of entry should be the closest one to the cargo’s final destination? It’s essential for the freight forwarder to verify if the port can handle oversized or overweight goods and if it accepts such cargo. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that all necessary facilities are available at the port to prepare the cargo for the on-carriage.
