Inland Transportation
Quick Transfers, Earliest Ships
At Kansai Group, we understand that domestic transportation is the backbone of timely exports. Alongside working with reputed providers, we operate our own dedicated Transport Department, giving us a unique edge over competitors.
Our in‑house vehicle transportation setup ensures the quick movement of cars within auctions and yards, allowing us to secure space on the next available vessel without delay. This efficiency means your vehicle is dispatched at the earliest possible time, reducing waiting periods and ensuring smooth delivery from auction yard to port.
Container Drayage
The short haul that keeps ships on schedule
From vanning yard to shipping line — and back again — we close the gap inside the port.
Drayage is the high-stakes hop that moves containers over short distances — typically from a vanning yard to the shipping line’s terminal, or the reverse — often without ever leaving the port area.
Specialist trucking and logistics partners run dedicated drayage trucks for this work: pick up a loaded or empty box, deliver it to the right yard or gate, then reverse the trip for inbound containers.
It may look like a short drive, but it is the hinge of the logistics chain — linking ships, rail, warehouses, and the rest of your journey. Details can vary by port and provider; what never changes is how much an on-time sailing depends on getting this move right.
