en.Wedoany.com Reported - NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. launched the "NX Ocean Fast Track" service on June 5, 2026. This sea freight solution aims to significantly shorten the delivery time of traditional ocean shipping while achieving a better balance between cost and speed.
The service initially covers cargo transportation from Tokyo, Japan; Shanghai, China; and Haiphong, Vietnam to Los Angeles, USA. By collaborating with ocean carriers and destination terminals, and optimizing operational processes at both origin and destination, the NX Group offers a new transport option that bridges the gap between air freight and standard sea freight.
In recent years, the global supply chain environment has undergone significant changes, with factors such as port congestion and fluctuations in capacity supply and demand leading to increased transportation uncertainty. Customers, particularly in industries such as technology, data centers, consumer goods, and retail, face growing challenges: they cannot bear the high cost of air freight, while standard sea freight often lacks the delivery predictability required for production and sales planning. To meet these market demands, the NX Group developed "NX Ocean Fast Track," a service that combines speed, delivery reliability, cost competitiveness, and reduced environmental impact.
"NX Ocean Fast Track" is a transportation solution that is more economical than air freight and achieves shorter delivery times than standard sea freight by optimizing operational processes at both origin and destination. This service offers a balanced alternative for customers looking to switch urgent cargo from air to sea, as well as those concerned about the delivery reliability of traditional ocean shipping. Initially, the service will be provided as a door-to-door transport solution from Tokyo, Shanghai, and Haiphong to Los Angeles.
The delivery time (from pickup to delivery) for this service is: 16-17 days from Japan, 16-17 days from China, and 21-22 days from Vietnam. The transport method uses sea freight container transport service (FCL) under an NX House B/L.
In terms of key features, this service can achieve a delivery time reduction of up to 40%. While maintaining the same vessel transit time, the NX Group has established a unique approach to significantly shorten cargo handling and documentation processing times at both origin and destination. Coordinated with US terminals, this new service enables container release within 24 hours of vessel arrival, minimizing uncertainty caused by port congestion. The service offers significant cost savings compared to air freight. Additionally, by switching from air to sea, customers can substantially reduce CO2 emissions, supporting their sustainability and ESG management goals.
The NX Group plans to operate this service stably as a new transportation standard, gradually expanding coverage routes in the future and offering higher value-added services, including door-to-door transport and sea-air hybrid solutions.
