The SHK Line Group operates domestic routes on Shin Nihonkai Ferry, Hankyu Ferry, and Tokyo Kyushu Ferry, as well as China and Korea routes from Shimonoseki Port. Since each route and port has different sailing schedules, customers often need to coordinate separately with each operator when using ferry transport. Marinex, as a forwarder specializing in ferry-to-door transport, acts as a cross-group logistics coordinator within the SHK Line Group. By consulting us, customers can use not only point-to-point transport but also ferry-to-ferry connections across our network, allowing us to provide integrated sea-land transport services on the optimal route, both domestically and internationally. Ferry transport helps reduce CO2 emissions and supports Scope 3 goals, with emissions estimated at about one-fortieth of air transport and one-fifth of trucking. It also offers a cost-effective alternative to air freight while maintaining speed, and is suitable for safely transporting large cargo with high punctuality. For customers seeking a reliable and economical small-lot consolidated cargo service between the Tokyo area and China, our “3E-EXPRESS” service is a valuable option.

High punctuality, minimal temperature and humidity fluctuations, low vibration, and no exposure to seawater during transit enable high transport quality, making the service suitable for precision machinery such as semiconductor equipment.
Switching from land transport to modal shift between Tokyo and Kitakyushu can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 68%.
By connecting ferries with high schedule adherence from the Tokyo metropolitan area to East China, transport schedules become highly stable.
A robust backup system using multiple routes within the SHK Line Group ensures reliable delivery of cargo.
