Kitakyushu Port modal shift assistance system (FY2019)

This program promotes modal shift (switching freight from truck transport to ferry and rail) via Kitakyushu Port, achieving logistics efficiency and environmental sustainability. Transport operators and manufacturers utilizing Kitakyushu Port for sea and rail logistics are eligible. Support covers equipment investment costs related to modal shift, such as ferry contracts and cargo handling machinery. Applicants must submit evidence of cost reduction or a documented modal shift implementation plan involving Kitakyushu Port. Verifying application deadlines and subsidy rates for fiscal year 2026 is essential.
