HDS, an acronym for Hot Delivery Service, represents a specialized logistics model focused on rapid customs clearance, vessel unloading, and cargo pickup. This service distinguishes itself by offering highly efficient import and export processes, ensuring goods reach customers with unprecedented speed.
For imports, when HDS-designated vessels arrive at port, terminals provide direct handling services. Shipowners can complete customs declarations in advance at Chinese or Japanese ports, enabling immediate cargo collection upon arrival. On the export side, HDS service categorizes shipments by bill of lading number, prioritizing HDS containers to be placed in the uppermost layers of vessels for fastest possible access at destination ports.
The system includes contingency measures: if HDS containers encounter clearance delays, dedicated vessel space is reserved to maintain operational flow. Additionally, HDS vessels operate on fixed schedules rather than tidal timetables, enhancing reliability.
Since its introduction, HDS has built its reputation on four pillars: safety, reliability, punctuality, and speed. By optimizing maritime and port resources between China and Japan, the service has become a preferred logistics solution for businesses demanding modern, efficient supply chain solutions. Its customer-centric approach continues to win trust in the competitive Asian logistics market.
