TERMINAL & HARBOR TRANSPORT SERVICES
Expanding terminal operation network relays for globallogistics operations
Global cargo movement has increased in speed and complexity. Providing efficient comprehensive transportation services requires appropriate logistics control and the expansion of terminals, which are significant transition bases for integrated logistics services that cover sea, air, and land. Under these circumstances, the role of a comprehensive logistics company has become more and more important. The NYK Group, which owns 26 terminals in Asia, North America, and Europe, is ranked as the No. 9 terminal operating company worldwide.
In 2002, NYK acquired Ceres Terminals Incorporated, headquartered in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and began operations in the United States, the east coast of Canada, and areas around the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, the facilities run by Ceres Paragon Terminals B.V., headquartered in Amsterdam, have steadily expanded after new route services were cultivated that use large vessels to connect North America with Europe, and Asia with Europe.
The NYK Group also agreed to a strategic partnership with Dalian Port Corporation in April 2006 to purchase shares of Dalian Port (PDA) Company Limited. By deepening its strategic partnership with Dalian Port Corporation, NYK has expanded its sea, air, and land logistics business, including the container and finished-automobile terminal businesses.
Additionally, in order to further strengthen its global logistics networks, the NYK Group strives to proactively expand each terminal's handling capacity.
