Safe, reliable, and swift maritime transport that also considers the environment.

Using ferries for intermediate transport can effectively reduce transportation and labor costs.
We also aim to reduce energy consumption, CO2, and NOx, taking environmental concerns into account.

Time savings and solutions for environmental issues: ‘Modal Shift System’

Land transport services

Combined sea and land transportation

Advantages of the Modal Shift System

It leads to reduced logistics costs.

Bulk transport allows for more efficient shipping and cost savings. You can also expect reduced vehicle mileage, extended vehicle lifespan, lower maintenance costs, highway fees, and consumption of supplies.

We guarantee safe and comfortable transport.

The ship minimizes shocks and vibrations during transport, so there’s no worry about damaging your cargo. Unlike land transport, it’s unaffected by traffic congestion, water damage, or earthquakes, ensuring timely and safe delivery of your goods. Additionally, it allows for sufficient rest time for drivers and helps lower accident rates.

Regular daily sailings twice a day

We operate two sailings daily between Shinmoji and Kobe, and Shinmoji and Izumi-Otsu. Please refer to the schedule for details.

Time savings and solutions for environmental issues

Compared to land transport, the CO2 emissions are one-fifth, and the energy efficiency of maritime transport is excellent, contributing to the prevention of air pollution and global warming while also achieving energy savings and cost reductions. This system aligns with the modern transportation needs focused on global environmental issues and has gained attention in recent years.
