Panalpina Japan Goes Operational

  • Posted on 21 August 2009

Panalpina and the NYK Group have agreed to realign the level of their current cooperation in Japan. The former will entirely in-source the air and ocean freight operations effective January 2010.

In line with an earlier agreement, the former will continue to represent the NYK subsidiary Yusen Air & Sea Service interests in various countries.

With the new agreement, Panalpina Japan will entirely in-source its ocean freight and air freight operations – currently handled through Yusen Air & Sea Service (YAS), a subsidiary of NYK.

YAS will however, continue to provide services in Japan as a subcontractor for Panalpina. As of November 1, 2009, Panalpina Japan will start issuing freight invoices and arrival notices for ocean import shipments.
