Supporting our customers’ modal shift with a wide range of vessels
Companies are promoting a modal shift in order to protect the environment. In today's world, where working practices are being reformed, marine transport is attracting attention as a means of relieving truck drivers from working long hours. At Senko, we are taking advantage of our group's marine transport capabilities to actively propose to our customers a switch to integrated sea-land transport.
This is a means of transportation that uses single-vehicle orders like those for trucks to combine the function of door-to-door delivery with the low cost of marine transport. Compared to general cargo ships, it has the benefits of shorter lead times, the ability to transport even small lots, preventing damage to cargo because cargo is transported between land and ship on the chassis, and avoiding weather-related delays in cargo handling work.
Vessels that carry unitized cargo from multiple shippers and provide regular service
