Since its founding in 1980, the Naigai Trans Line Group has been known for its customer-centric approach to providing dependable ocean-freight forwarding services. Today, the Group has evolved into Japan’s largest provider of less-than-container-load (LCL) export ocean-freight services. The NTL Group has a global network of more than 10 subsidiaries operating in the ASEAN region, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. In addition to our core LCL services, we have expanded our business into full-container-load ocean-freight services, air cargo services, heavy-cargo services, and customs brokerage services, as well as warehousing services at locations outside Japan, to meet customers’ diverse logistics needs.

The NTL Group does not operate its own freighters or cargo jets, but rents container spaces in commercial freighters and airplanes to ship freight. We maintain good working relationships with our logistics partners, which include ocean carriers, airlines, warehouse operators, trucking companies, and a network of agencies operating around the globe, to provide the most flexible and efficient intermodal solutions that optimize customers’ supply chain management.

Ocean and air freight services are an essential part of social infrastructure for island nations like Japan. The NTL Group is committed to the continued pursue of operational excellence in order to meet the demanding expectations of all stakeholders, including customers, business partners.
