Example services

Case

Two-company round-use scheme to dramatically reduce CO₂ emissions and operation time

In partnership with two domestic manufacturers and logistics partners, we built a "two-company round-use" scheme that reuses import containers for exports. By unloading import containers at domestic factories and transferring empty containers to another manufacturer for export use, we eliminate wasteful empty container moves while maintaining existing operations. With overseas container check systems and tight scheduling for unloading, transfer, loading, and port delivery, we have reduced annual CO₂ emissions by up to ~41.0 tons (a 35% reduction) and driver operating hours by up to 1,140 hours (a 38% reduction).

Rebuilding the interrupted land route from Thailand to Myanmar with maritime shipping and dump trucks

Due to the civil war in Myanmar, some major border roads have been destroyed and cross-border truck transportation has been almost impossible since late 2023. We collaborated with our Thailand office to transport via maritime container and built a scheme using dump trucks at our Thilawa site to deliver to factory silos directly.

One-stop assistance of production facility imports at Chinese companies without trading rights

Our Chinese local company with trading rights and the import license took on the role of importer to provide a comprehensive service from permit confirmation, document preparation, customs clearance, tax payment, cargo handling, transportation to factory, and payment settlement.
