Of these, extra fares are levied on special goods and goods for specified ports whose transportation costs are high due to the shape of the cargo, port conditions, economic conditions, etc. CAF, BAF, are a kind of type. In civil engineering technology, it refers to an upper load.

Third Party Logistics (3PL)

Comprehensively undertake collection, delivery, transportation, warehousing management, etc. in response to requests from manufacturers to outsource logistics operations. For shippers, it has the advantage of being able to concentrate on their main business at lower cost and lower risk than building their own logistics systems from scratch.

The average high tide level

The abbreviation of HWL is used in Japan, and is calculated as the average water surface of the highest high tide surface of each month that appears within 5 days from the day of Saku and Noboru.

Sashiaisen

This means a ship with similar scheduled arrival time (ETA) of the vessel. Since the berthing and cargo handling are basically in the order of entry, they called each other over the designation of entering the port and Bath. At present, the Bath situation is improving, and it has become less frequently asked.

Goods (general cargo)

It is also called general goods. It is used in contrast to special cargo. General term for cargo other than those that require special loading storage. (Not) Special Cargo

Satellite logistics base

Substandard vessel

Ships that do not meet the safety standards of the Conventions created by IMO. It is also referred to as a ship below the standard or a low-quality ship.

A summary of what kind of transaction process was produced between each industry until a certain goods or services reach final demand, and can estimate how much new production will be induced in response to an increase in production and investment.

Trilateral Transport

Business activities conducted by shipping companies, airlines, etc. in their own country to transport cargo between third countries instead of freight between their own country and the trading partner.

sand compaction method (sand compaction method)

One of the methods for improving the ground of landfills, loose sand layers, and soft viscosity soil layers. A method of installing sand piles in the ground and forcibly draining groundwater to tighten the ground. It is also called a syntax.

Sand Drain method (sand drain method)

One of the ways to improve landfills and soft ground. A method of imposing sand piles in the ground to create a path for water to pass, promote drainage of water in the soil (promoting pressure), and stabilize the ground as soon as possible. They may also use special paper, fibers, straw-shaped plastic, etc. instead of sand.

sand pump (sand pump)

A pump made to transport the mixture of earth and sand and water. The dredging pump is a typical one.

Sanbashi, pier

Similar to the quay, a facility where ships are berthed and moored, loaded and unloaded, and used for passengers getting on and off. The quay is structurally divided. In other words, it refers to a mooring facility in which a stake is driven at a certain interval and the stake head is constructed in a floor shape.
