Extensive, high-speed Intra-Asia shipping options available from Nippon Express provide shippers and receivers regular rapid transit services throughout key trade lanes in Asia Pacific under a single bill of lading and with the security of single control. OEM and supply base shippers of FCL and LCL freight alike can take advantage of Nippon Express’ intra-Asia service to transport finished goods as well as manufactured items that require additional kitting or assembly before reaching final destinations.

This service has proven to be particularly attractive to companies such as tier three suppliers to the automotive industry. From their manufacturing sites in China, these shippers can use Nippon Express high-speed intra-Asia service to forward to tier two suppliers. These LCL shipments of manufactured parts and components are used by the tier two suppliers to assemble and produce more sophisticated - and more complete – components. These tier two suppliers then move the value-added components via Arrow International GNS to just-in-time automotive assembly operations at manufacturing plants located in Asia Pacific or in the U.S. Nippon Express’ ocean shipment tracking system provide full visibility of freight in transit, and thereby enables plant operators to have an accurate view of their supply chain pipeline. The automotive supply chain is all tied together by Nippon Express with the OEM enjoying maximum utilization of labor and plant capacity.
