Case of Problem Solving

Transport large construction machinery to Okinawa. The safe and efficient way is trailer transportation using RORO ships.

Industry Logistics
Type of cargo Construction machinery
Purpose Safe transportation and cost reduction
Transportation area Okinawa

With the large construction equipment seen at construction sites, you actually need ingenuity in transportation. It takes a lot of time and effort to disassemble so it can be loaded on multiple trucks and transported. We were asked if we could improve transportation efficiency somehow.

Problem
  • Transporting large construction equipment requires disassembly to a size that can be loaded on trucks.
  • It also requires a lot of trucks.
  • There is also the problem of work hours with drivers driving long distances on land.
Proposed solution
  • Our proposal used trailers in marine and land transportation.
  • Marine transportation is possible with just the trailer separated when boarding a RORO ship.
  • After arriving at the port in Okinawa, local drivers transport the equipment to its destination.
Results and effects
  • Satisfied with the merits of intermodal transportation by sea and land, the customer entrusted transportation to us.
The problem was that transporting large construction equipment took a long time.
Problem

The problem was that transporting large construction equipment took a long time.

Transporting large construction equipment to Okinawa requires disassembly to a size that can be loaded on multiple trucks. Naturally, you need a lot of trucks.

After that, there are a lot of hurdles such as transportation costs and realizing safe transportation due to the marine transportation process. And there is also the problem of work hours with drivers driving long distances on land.

The fact that transporting large construction equipment took a long time like this was a big problem.

We solved the problem with trailer transportation using RORO ships.
Proposed solution

We solved the problem with trailer transportation using RORO ships.

In order to solve such problems for the shipper, we proposed using our strengths in intermodal transportation by sea and land.

Specifically, our proposal used trailers in marine and land transportation. Firstly, trailers have the advantage of being able to take large cargo. Marine transportation is possible with just the trailers separated when boarding an RORO ship. After arriving at the port in Okinawa, the trailers are set down and delivered to the destination by local drivers.

Multiple drivers are used so this method can solve the problem of driver work hours. Also, overall transportation time can be shortened. And as there is little vibration in marine transportation, it is highly effective in preventing the collapse of cargo, enabling safe transportation.

After many meetings, we were able to complete transportation to the destination safely.
Results and effects

After many meetings, we were able to complete transportation to the destination safely.

Satisfied with the merits of intermodal transportation by sea and land, the customer entrusted transportation to us. To realize safe and secure transportation, we held meetings many times with the shipper and were able to complete transportation to the destination safely.

Subsequently too, they have called us when projects have came up.
