For well over 10 years now YA Logistics (UK) Ltd along with our partners Yuwa Shipping Co Ltd in Japan and Eukor Car Carriers have been importing Japanese vehicles into Europe.

With our dedicated monthly service we have shipped over 150,000 vehicles from Yokohama (Tokyo), Osaka/Kobe and Nagoya to the UK alone with many more being shipped to the continent with the main ports being Antwerp, Bremerhaven and Rotterdam.

Japanese imports have been favoured by dealers and importers for many years as they generally have lower mileage, higher standard spec and much less rust than their UK counterpart.  Sports cars and 4×4/MPV’s are the most popular types of vehicles with models such as Subaru Impreza, Nissan Skyline, Toyota Estima and Mazda Bongo being the most popular.

Along with cars we also ship high and heavy machinery such as tractors, excavators and dumpers.

We have 3 booking agents in Japan who can arrange shipments and provide information and assistance.  The contact details of these agents can be found on our website www.yalogistics.co.uk

Along with the usual vehicles we have seen a number of eye opening cars over the years coming across the water on our service.  We shipped the first Nissan R35 Skyline into the country, we have seen 1000 brake horse power drift cars as well as hearses and vehicles with body kits that beggars belief!

We offer the cheapest storage in Southampton and we can also provide customs clearance and inland transportation within the UK at very competitive prices.
