Below are 6 alternatives for shipping cargo from Canada to Japan by sea, rail and air transport. The fastest route, unsurprisingly, involves air transport and is expected to take about 7 days, including pre-carriage and last mile delivery. Unfortunately, it also appears to be the most expensive and least environmentally friendly shipping alternative.
The cheapest shipping alternative is by sea and has estimated transit time of about 54 days. The most environmentally friendly alternative involves rail transport and offers estimated transit time of 58 days. Transport costs involved in this delivery solution also appear to be on a feasible level.
1. Most economical shipping alternative between Canada and Japan
The cheapest way to ship cargo from Canada to Japan is to deliver by truck from Toronto to Southampton-CASON port, transfer to vessel and ship to Tokyo port, then deliver by road to final destination in Tokyo. The route's total transit time is estimated at around 54 days, including loading and unloading operations at origin and destination as well as terminal handling at transit terminals.
