Shipping lines from Japan
We book the line that actually sails to your port. Which company gets the booking depends on the route and the space that week. These are the carriers buyers ask about. The link opens their own site.
- Toyofuji Shipping
Toyota Group RoRo operator. Japan–Australia and Japan–New Zealand are core trades. The public site is in Japanese.
- NYK Line (RoRo)
Deep-sea car carrier. Tracking is by booking number, bill of lading, or vessel, not a daily pin on the truck.
- MOL
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines. Auto and RoRo services on many of the same routes.
- "K" Line
Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha. Car-carrier services, often alongside MOL on joint schedules.
- Eastern Car Liner
A specialist vehicle carrier used widely out of Japan, including shorter regional routes.
- Höegh Autoliners
Deep-sea RoRo, including Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
- Armacup / Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Armacup is the New Zealand name on the Japan and Oceania vehicle trades. Wallenius Wilhelmsen owns it, and this link is the parent site.
- Kyowa Shipping
Pacific island and Micronesia services, including some container and vehicle cargo.
You can try to book these lines yourself. If you do, you handle the Japanese export, the inland move, the booking, and the compliance risk. A carrier will not check whether your destination allows the vehicle, and a tracking page will not show a daily GPS location of the truck. It shows the ship and the booking milestones: received, loaded, departed, and an ETA.
We do not ship to Iran or Russia, directly or indirectly, including by handing a booking to a line for that purpose.
