Nippon Express launches Japan service via Ho Chi Minh City

11 April 2014

Nippon Express Co Ltd says its’ has launched a combined transport service from Phnom Penh to Japan which reduces shipping time by about six days. The Japanese logistics company said the new service started on 1 April 2014, transporting cargo by truck from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City. From there, the cargo is transferred to ships sailing to Japanese ports such as Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka or flights bound for Tokyo.

The company said that shipments to Japan via Phnom Penh Autonomous Port or Phnom Penh International Airport faced a lack of direct flights and sailings as well as shortages of space for bulk shipments. Nippon Express said the new service was available three to four times as week and cost the same as cargo shipped via Phnom Penh International Airport. Shipments arrive in Japan about 11 days after leaving Phnom Penh.
