Background to service development
With recent years seeing a rise in the demand for export cargo to Central and Eastern Europe, the limited consolidation service options for shipments originating in Japan have become an issue. To address this growing demand, Nippon Express worked with cargo-partner, whose network spans Central and Eastern Europe, to develop a cross-dock consolidation service to both European regions based out of its Vienna CFS.

Overview of Vienna Consolidation service
This service covers transport from major ports in Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Hakata and Moji) to a total of 26 destinations in Central and Eastern Europe (Vienna, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Zagreb, Prague, Budapest, etc.). Nippon Express uses FP1, which sails non-stop from Japan to Northern Europe, for containerized cargo transport to the Vienna CFS, where the containers are offloaded and the cargo devanned and transported to its respective destinations. The NX Group handles the cargo from origin to destination, ensuring high-quality, safe, and reliable service.

Features of the service
- A wide variety of destinations
Service to the entire Central and Eastern European regions is available from the Vienna CFS. Nippon Express provides extensive first-rate services using the trunk-line transport offered by cargo-partner's numerous business locations throughout the regions.

- High transport quality
Containerized cargo is shipped directly from Japan to Northern Europe and then transported to the Vienna CFS. NX Group business locations perform all CFS tasks at both origin and destination to maintain high transport quality.

- Attractive pricing
Customers can save an average of 20-30% compared to traditional service pricing.

The NX Group remains committed to making full use of all forms of transport to support its customers' business expansion on a global scale.
