Yusen Logistics Container Tracking

Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Tokyo, Yusen Logistics is a global supply-chain and logistics company and a member of the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) group. Through a network spanning dozens of countries and continents, the company provides freight forwarding (air & ocean), warehousing, distribution and full-supply-chain solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. From its earliest overseas office in Düsseldorf (1974) to operations now in more than 40 countries, the growth of Yusen Logistics reflects the expanding globalisation of supply chains and the rising importance of integrated logistics in manufacturing and trade.

What distinguishes Yusen Logistics is its focus on integrating services and leveraging technology to improve visibility and performance. For instance, the company has developed what it calls a “control tower” capability, enabling clients to manage air, sea, road and customs flows through a single interface.

The company has introduced a novel service called “Book-and-Claim” allowing customers to receive certificates for greenhouse-gas-emission reductions related to logistics services — an example of how the firm is engaging with sustainability and carbon-accounting.
