Nippon Express Holdings Inc. has established NX Global Ocean Network Pte. Ltd. (hereinafter abbreviated as NGO) in Singapore with the aim of strengthening its ocean freight-forwarding business. The new company opened for business on May 23.

The NX Group has positioned forwarding as one of its core businesses in the NX Group Management Plan 2023 - Dynamic Growth and has accordingly been working to expand its handling of ocean cargo as the base cargo for its forwarding business. In 2020, Nippon Express set up a Global NVOCC Center (GNC) in Japan to select shipping companies, centralize purchasing, develop price-competitive NVOCC products, and improve and support services. To further enhance these functions and expand cargo-handling capabilities, the GNC's functions were transferred to multicultural Singapore, home to a diverse pool of human resources skilled in ocean freight operations, and the new company NGO opened for business on May 23.

Capital amount is SGD 6,250,000.
