「To restore container volumes and customs-clearance orders, which had continued to decline for the past 2 years, and expand earnings, the Group pursued sales activities to win orders for international freight forwarding, as well as customs clearance and delivery. As a result, the number of containers handled in ocean transport exceeded the level in the same period of the previous year, with imports at 114,302 TEU, up 1.5% year on year. The company also focused on collecting export cargo amid the weaker yen, resulting in a solid increase in exports to 9,223 TEU, up 32.0% year on year. Total imports and exports therefore amounted to 123,525 TEU, up 3.2% year on year. Customs-clearance orders totaled 68,624, broadly in line with the same period of the previous year, up 1.3% year on year.」
