Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Three Owned Routes: CJ1/CJ2/CJ3.

Most major carriers serve the Seto Inland Sea only indirectly — but Mingsung operates three owned routes (CJ1/CJ2/CJ3) covering the region, calling directly at Hiroshima, Fukuyama, Mizushima, Takamatsu, Iyomishima, Iwakuni and Nakanoseki, with direct sailings to Japan from North China (Tianjin/Dalian/Qingdao).

— Note / Service Scope
CJ1/CJ2/CJ3 are operated by Mingsung's own fleet, giving us access to secondary Seto Inland Sea ports that major carriers do not cover — with guaranteed space, no rollovers and direct calls. But Mingsung's ocean freight is not limited to our own routes — for Japan's other major ports (Tokyo/Yokohama/Osaka/Kobe) and worldwide trade lanes, we can arrange integrated solutions through our partner carriers.

Japan is one of Taiwan's most important trading partners for high-value cargo. Mingsung provides two-way Taiwan-Japan logistics services, with particular expertise in the Seto Inland Sea region — a market most major carriers do not serve directly. Three routes: CJ1 (Hiroshima Express), CJ2 (Shikoku/Chugoku) and CJ3 (North China to Japan).
