Japanese Shipping Translation Services
At Th
e Japanese Connection, our expert Japanese language interpreters and translators can offer their experience in matters like these and provide a shipping interpreting service to accommodate all your Japanese language requirements. We are able to provide Japanese interpreters who are specialists in the shipping field, with knowledge of the procedures and technical language of the shipping industry. This ensures that our interpreting will be accurate, efficient and reliable.
Whilst Japanese ships may be able to cross international waters with ease, communication is sometimes more difficult; the international nature of this industry means that language barriers can and do exist. The range of international regulations and limitations is vast, and can be overwhelming, and the coordination of logistics services can become very problematic. Often shipping disputes occur and these need to be resolved as quickly as possible and often through arbitration.
Japan and the Shipping Industry
As an island nation, shipping is essential to the Japanese economy: some of the largest shipping conglomerates in the world are Japanese. Many operate internationally, The NYK Line (Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha), for example, acts as both a bulk shipping business and a global logistics company. Japan’s maritime infrastructure was developed in the Edo period but is continually expanding - increasing container capacity and developing more sophisticated liners. Japan’s many shipping firms offer marine transportation for goods which are vital to both the Japanese and global economies. Raw materials and fossil fuels are imported and Japanese cars, transportation equipment and electronics are exported. Some Japanese firms also cooperate with large global petroleum companies around the world, making sure that this basic necessity reaches its destinations. Alongside expansion in Japan, many companies are integrating carbon efficient policies, including the use of hybrid technologies to harness wasted energy in their vessels.
