Mr. Takuo Yoshimoto, President & CEO
We are pleased to announce you today that NACCS Center and KL-Net signed the serviceprovider agreement on Advance Filing Rules.
The port of Busan in South Korea is one of the five largest seaports in the world by the yearly
container throughput and the largest transshipment port of Japan bound cargoes. Besides, asSouth Korea is separated by a short distance from Japan, relaxed application to the deadlineof filing are applied to cargoes loaded at certain ports of South Korea and destined for certain
Japanese ports. It’s obvious that how we can establish a mechanism to receive the required
information on Japan bound cargoes from South Korea in a timely manner is the key forsmooth implementation of the rules. In this respect, welcoming KL-Net which has much
experience and strong ties with Carriers and NVOCCs, the filers of Advance Filing Rules,
through taking a lead in introducing and developing the Port EDI system in South Korea isvery encouraging to us.
We are going to keep cooperating closely to build the system and also to provide information
to relevant parties.
