No, this is called transshipment. If you see two shipping vessels listed on your CAP or in online tracking information, your cargo will be loaded onto one vessel when departing from Japan and will be reloaded onto another prior to reaching its destination. This decision is made by the contracted shipping companies, and we, as exporters, do not have authority to intervene with their decisions.
Please note that transshipped cargo usually takes longer to travel from Japan to its final destination.
The information below is required to book a shipping vessel for your cargo. Please read the following carefully and provide us with all requested information. Most information is required by the contracted shipping companies; not NS Japan Auto LTD.
port of discharge: Your nearest port where the vessel will unload your cargo.
Vehicle Destination: Where the vehicle will actually be used. Please provide the name of the country where the vehicle will be registered for use.

Also, when providing us with your booking information, it is important to understand the following:
● Your booking will be delayed by the shipping company if the consignee’s full name and address are not provided. Complete information must be provided.Notify Party: This is the person that the shipping agent contacts to notify the confirmed arrival date of your vessel to the port.If you have a private clearing agent, you may list them here, though it is not mandatory as you do not need to declare a clearing agent on the B/L..
