Singapore has the world largest class of yearly container throughput, and is one of the mostimportant hub ports with maritime container route carried to Japan. It is needless to say that
securing appropriate filing in this port is essential for smooth implementation of AdvanceFiling Rules. In this respect, it is significantly meaningful to cooperate with CrimsonLogic,
headquartered in Singapore, as a service provider. As CrimsonLogic is developing businessnot only in Singapore, but also in Asia, Middle East, North America and other countries,
there is no doubt that CrimsonLogic will play an important role by demonstrating its presence
at major ports in the world.
CrimsonLogic and NACCS Center have been building cooperation as a member of PAA(Pan-Asian e-Commerce Alliance: consists of 11 companies providing electronic system forinternational logistics in Asia). We are further going to keep cooperating closely to build thesystem and also to provide information to relevant parties.
