Whether you are exporting full container loads (FCL) to points around the world or importing small shipments as less than container loads (LCL) through a single U.S. port, Nippon Express USA has the experienced staff and state-of-the-art information systems to manage every aspect of your international shipping needs. With ocean carrier capacity in short supply on most routes today, especially in Asia Pacific, having Nippon Express USA as your key ocean freight partner provides you with a powerful ally.

When Nippon Express USA manages your international ocean shipments, you gain a number of unique advantages:

Door-to-Door Transportation Management
Nippon Express USA provides door-to-door transportation management for both full containerload (FCL) and less than containerload (LCL) shipments under a single bill of lading. By remaining under the control of a single corporate entity throughout its journey, your cargo remains the responsibility of Nippon Express USA, so you know it is in safe hands until it reaches its final destination.

Ocean Freight Purchasing
Nippon Express books thousands of shipments with every major steamship line in the world, so it knows which carriers have the best equipment, provide the best transit times and perform most reliably. And because Nippon Express is such an important buyer of ocean freight services, it has unprecedented leverage with all major carriers that it can use for the benefit of its customers.

NVO Service Arrangements
Because Nippon Express USA’s Arrow International GNS is a licensed non-vessel operating common carrier, it can provide its customers with volume-based ocean contracts that are far below the rates charged under ocean carrier tariffs.

Ocean Shipment Tracking
Every ocean shipment handled by Nippon Express USA or its subsidiaries is tracked in real time from the moment it is picked up until it is delivered. Shipment status is viewable online with any web browser, or the status can be reported via electronic data interchange to your company’s computer system.
