The integration of these two separate organisations allows the new company, Yusen Logistics, to provide more cost effective, tailor-made solutions, says a Company spokesperson.

Yusen Logistics offers solutions for the safe and timely transportation of large-scale project cargo and equipment for industries, including the solar energy industry. Yusen Logistics has more than seven years of experience working with solar industry companies, and has provided services such as forwarding, customs clearance, handling and storage, dispatch, and national distribution.

The Yusen Logistics Special Project Group provides comprehensive global project consultations as well as planning and implementation for a wide range of projects and has operational bases in 36 countries throughout the world. The company currently has 16,000 employees, and approximately 400 offices and warehouses, with a total floor area of approximately two million square metres.

As freight forwarding logistical specialists, Yusen Logistics has recognised a transition in client needs from specific-optimal to total-optimal. Traditionally, logistics companies offered services that were seen as distinct entities such as only air forwarding, or warehouse storage or land transportation. Yusen Logistics offers a service that takes a complete overall view of the supply chain by integrating a variety of logistical functions to provide optimised solutions.
