JAPAN's Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd ('K' LINE) announced that its Thailand-based group company k Line Container Service (Thailand) Ltd (KCST) has started operations at its new warehouse in the Bang Na district of Bangkok on April 1.
The new warehouse is situated in a prime location 30 km from Bangkok's city centre, the largest consumption area in Thailand.
It is designed to handle e-commerce products, and instead of dispatching products on a per-pallet or per-case basis as before, it is able to dispatch products on a per-item basis more swiftly. Multi-level racks that take advantage of the 15-metre-high ceiling have been installed for this purpose.
Additionally, KCST has obtained four ISO certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 28000) at its existing warehouses and plans to obtain those same certifications for the new warehouse within the year.
'K' LINE has been operating regular warehouses and freezing and refrigerating warehouses with close ties to the community in Thailand for over three decades.
'We have provided logistics services by situating each warehouse in a prime location, such as on the outskirts of Bangkok, within an industrial zone with a high concentration of Japanese companies, at Suvarnabhumi Airport and near Laem Chabang, one of Thailand's major ports,' the company said.
In addition, Bangkok Cold Storage Service, Ltd (BCS), another group company located on the same premises, is in the process of constructing a new freezing and refrigerating warehouse which is due to open this summer (expected in August 2023).
