Welcome to NYK Logistics
   Chemicals: Safety & Environment
   (Case Study)
 
 
 
Comprehensive Plastic Compound Stock and Distribution Operation in Thailand
 
 
The NYK Map-Ta-Phut Logistics Center was established in 1997 and was primarily engaged in the trucking of chemicals. At that time, our target customer was chiefly an industrial manufacturer with its own factory in Rayong's Industrial Zone.

The customer, a well-known worldwide manufacturer and distributor of chemical-related products commercially known as "Plastic Compound," had been outsourcing their logistics activities in the area to a number of local contractors.

In 1998, after fully streamlining its production capacities relative to production expansion, a few qualified service providers capable of providing logistics services consistent with requirements were requested to assist. NYK Logistics was asked to handle warehouse operations (including handling of hazardous commodities) in addition to chemical trucking operations.
 
 
 
 
  In order to be qualified contractors, service providers have to comply with international management systems and act in accordance with the requirements of the customer as well as those of the nation of Thailand. Our progression/advancement for such compliance is noted below:

In 1998 -
NYK Logistics obtained a license to operate a hazardous warehouse, which allowed us to operate in a new business field. This success provided us with a superior advantage over other service providers because NYK was the first logistics provider to attain such license in this industrial zone. In 2001 - NYK successfully implemented the following two international management systems:

      1) Quality Management System - ISO 9002
      2) Occupational Health and Safety Management System - OHSAS 18001

In 2002 -
NYK Logistics successfully implemented the Environmental Management System - ISO 14001

Moreover, we stressed that we must work to continually improve our performance by encouraging technological advancement, training programs which emphasize safety, employer audits, etc., from the customer. For us, "Safe Operations" is our key expression when handling chemicals.
 
         
         
 
  With the above advantages, NYK Logistics evolved as a leading logistics service provider in Thailand, and subsequently expanded its facilities as follows:

   1999 - Expansion of warehouse space and the existing container yard
   2000 - Construction of a second warehouse
   2001 - Construction of a second container yard

Meanwhile, NYK continues to ensure that compliance is in place. By maintaining the above-mentioned systems, NYK successfully completed an accumulative 1,000,000 Working-Hour No Major Accident Campaign.
