About Nippon Express

Tokyo-based Japanese logistics giant established 1937 (roots to 1872), now the NX Group and one of the world’s largest freight forwarders. Pioneered the Trans-Siberian land bridge, moving containers between Japan and Europe by rail across Russia.

Nippon Express was founded in 1937 and is headquartered in Minato, Japan. Its main trade areas: Global forwarding.

How to track a Nippon Express container

Every Nippon Express box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.

Nippon Express is a forwarder or NVOCC, so the box usually moves on another line's vessel. Tracking by the Nippon Express bill of lading still works: we follow the underlying carrier and show one timeline.
