JIT, an NVOCC arm of NYK since 1983, is being sacrificed for its long-term customer relations, which the new unit will leverage off as a third party logistics player under NYK’s recent business plan to be the world’s largest integrated carrier.
An NYK spokesman said: “By integrating the two units NYK Logistics Japan can introduce its advanced know-how of supply chain solutions to our long-term customers who have been faithfully served over the last 23 years.”
