アジア太平洋地域全体における導入が好調であることを受けて、この度 A.P. Moller - Maerskとの提携によりMatchBox Exchange - Container Logisticsのサービスを日本で開始できることを嬉しく思います。

港湾混雑は日本の主要港全体で依然として課題であり、トラック輸送のリソースに負担をかけ、内陸サプライチェーンにも負荷がかかり遅延を引き起こし、追加費用が発生しております。

この問題に対処するため、MatchBox Exchangeは港内外の渋滞を緩和し、コンテナの流れを最適化するプラットフォームを提供します。

✅ 輸入で使用したコンテナを輸出用に再利用（ラウンドユース）することで、空コンテナ返却のためのデポへの不要な移動を回避
✅ 当社のプラットフォームを通じて、空コンテナを近隣の企業と交換
✅ 輸入での空コンテナの返却、輸出での空コンテナ集荷を回避することで、コンテナの利用率を改善し、トラックの待機時間を減少
✅ 業務効率化、空コンテナ輸送距離の短縮、CO2e排出量を削減

コンテナのより最適な再利用（ラウンドユース）と交換が御社ビジネスにどのように役立つかについて、ご関心をお持ちですか?
