From the onset we have established a thorough network to include key sites throughout Thailand. In 1991, an affiliate company known as NYK Songkhla was established to serve customers in the southern parts of Thailand. In 1993, we were amongst the first to launch an office at Laem Chabang port. Designed to facilitate the direct handling of NYK vessels and to cultivate market potential in the eastern areas, this office has grown rapidly from handling just a few hundred TEUs to nearly half a million TEUs per year - with over 50 vessels calling every month. We were also one of the first companies to use the Lat Krabang Inland Container Depot (LICD) initiative in the 1990s and in 1996 our NYK Inland Container Depot (NICD) was established to serve cargo loaded and discharged at Laem Chabang port
