TransContainer Tracking

Transcontainer USA, Inc. is the United States head office of a global transport and logistics network originally established in Tokyo, Japan in 1973. It began serving American interests in 1987, and since then has acted as an intermediary in international combined transport between the U.S. and markets around the world.

Operating as both a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and an Ocean Transport Intermediary (OTI), Transcontainer USA handles a broad range of ocean freight services. Its activities include import and export container freight services — including both full container loads (FCL) and less-than-container loads (LCL) — as well as domestic trucking, drayage across all 48 U.S. states, project and oversized cargo, and warehousing.

The company maintains a widespread physical footprint in the United States with offices in Chicago (headquarters), Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Atlanta, enabling it to coordinate intricate logistics flows from major coastal gateways to inland destinations.

Transcontainer USA leverages a worldwide agent network, drawing on its parent company’s global branches to provide multimodal solutions — integrating sea, road and inland transport under coordinated service contracts. Its door-to-door solutions are designed to link international ocean transport with inland freight movement, customs clearance, and cargo insurance options, offering a single point of contact for complex supply-chain arrangements.

An interesting feature of Transcontainer USA’s history is its steady evolution alongside regulatory and industry changes: after obtaining its OTI license from the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission in 2000, it expanded from import consolidation in 2002 to full export consolidation services, and became certified under C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), reflecting its engagement with secure supply-chain standards.

Despite its connections to a larger international logistics framework, Transcontainer USA remains focused on practical service delivery — coordinating freight forwarding, container handling and multimodal transport solutions for businesses ranging from small exporters to larger corporate shippers. Its long tenure, agent network and diversified services make it a notable example of how regional headquarters operate within global transport and logistics ecosystems.
