1. Core Route Advantages
As the largest port for China-Japan trade in northern China, Qingdao Port and Osaka Port are both important shipping hubs in East Asia. This route has three core competitive advantages: first, controllable timeliness. Relying on the capacity of well-known shipping companies such as COSCO Shipping and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, regular fast ships arrive in 36 hours and slow ships in 48 hours. The cut-off time for documents and cargo is extended to 18:00 on the same day, adapting to emergency replenishment needs; second, sufficient capacity. 7 weekly flights cover all demands, with no container rejection or overcrowding risks in peak seasons, and flexible deployment of 20GP/40GP/40HQ standard containers and refrigerated containers; third, cost advantage. Relying on the scale effect of the route and RCEP tariff reduction policies, the sea freight cost is 8%-15% lower than similar routes, far lower than air freight (only 1/6-1/12 of air freight cost).
2. Service Scope and Content
Transportation Types: Full Container Load (20GP/40GP/40HQ standard containers), Less than Container Load (suitable for small goods of 1-20 cubic meters), supporting general dry goods, cold chain fresh food (special refrigerated containers at -18℃), and bulky machinery (reinforced packaging transportation).
Supporting Services: Provide door-to-door pickup in Qingdao and surrounding cities, bonded warehousing, cargo packaging and reinforcement, export customs clearance, import customs clearance at Osaka Port, in-port storage, and door-to-door delivery across Japan (covering core cities such as Osaka, Tokyo, and Kyoto).
