At present,
international container cargoes are connected to
international container strategic ports,
that is,Hanshin port(,Kobe/Osaka) and
Keihin port(Tokyo/Yokohama/kawasaki)
by domestic feeder service and rail. In
order to maintain and strengthen trunk line services between
Japan
and North America and Europe.
we need to accelerate cargo inducement to the international
container strategic ports by making more use of the feeder
transportation.
The feature of this month highlights feeder
transportation as a tool for collecting
cargoes to the international container strategic ports
and
introduces challenges, on-going efforts and future to
its targets.
