Mr. Takuo Yoshimoto, President & CEO
I am very pleased to inform you that NACCS Center and Sankyu concluded the service
provider agreement on Advance Filing Rules today.
Japan bound maritime container cargoes are mainly from Asia and a certain number ofsuch cargoes are subject to the relaxed application of the deadline for filing regarding
short-distance shipping routes. Therefore, we recognize accurate and timely filing ofmaritime container cargoes from Asia as the biggest challenge for smooth enforcement of
the Rules. Since Sankyu has a solid logistics network around Asia, NACCS Center obtained
strong and reassuring partner in tackling this challenge.
With an eye toward the formal launch of the rules in March next year, we will strive tocollaborate closely together.
