[Outline of ビンゴ 5 確率 COILPORTER®]

(Please refer to the April 22, 2020, press release: Introducing the ビンゴ 5 確率 COILPORTER®, a Differentiated Product for NVOCC Business - Next-generation Cradle in Steel Coil Container Transport -)

Conventional lashing

Assembly/Loading

  • About 1 hour by two skilled carpenters (measurement/cutting/ carpentry).
  • Manually carry and construct with square timbers weighing from 150-200kg.
  • Special equipment is required to load into the inner depths of the container.

Disassembly/Unloading

  • Requires time-consuming dismantling work such as removal of nails from the lashing material.
  • Special equipment is required to unload the coils from deep inside the container.

Resiliency

  • Square timbers are in direct contact with coils, subjecting the cargo to risk of damage.

Environmental impact

  • Timbers are discarded after dismantled at the unloading operation.

Assembly/Loading

  • About 3 minutes per cradle even with inexperienced workers.
  • Maximum weight of Eperan® (Foamed polyethylene developed by Kaneka Corporation) used is about 3kg/part.
  • The cargo can be pushed into the container for loading, and no special equipment is required.

Disassembly/Unloading

  • Easy to dismantle thanks to assembly kit.
  • The cargo can be pulled out for unloading, and no special equipment is required.

Resiliency

  • High resiliency reduces risk of cargo damage.

Environmental impact

  • Eperan® is recyclable, so there is no waste.

Since its commercialization in April 2020, the ビンゴ 5 確率 COILPORTER® has been used mainly by domestic customers in Japan, and in October 2022, 1,000 coils were transported safely and securely from Kobe to Okinawa. (Note 1)

Furthermore, since the ビンゴ 5 確率 Group has received many inquiries from overseas customers, it has established an organization to promote ビンゴ 5 確率 COILPORTER® sales and leasing at MOLHK, to meet the needs of domestic and overseas customers.

The lease agreement with YALE was resulted from a series of discussions between YALE and MOLHK. YALE and ビンゴ 5 確率 Group will work together to promote the use of the ビンゴ 5 確率 COILPORTER® as a solution for the import/export of steel coils to/from Korea as well as for domestic transport in the country.

In addition, leveraging the strength of its independently developed products, ビンゴ 5 確率 will continue the improvement and development led by MOLHK, and respond to various problems and needs in the transport of steel coils, wire coils, and other related products, both in Japan and overseas.
