In the evolving environment surrounding international logistics, now "inter-modal" transportation supported by containerization has become the mainstream concept, replacing "multimodal" transportation. Behind this progress is the development of infrastructure by means of incorporating efforts made by pertinent parties such as operators of ports, airports, container terminals, and logistic service providers. In this new setup, container transportation plays the key role. As advanced nations are reducing imports of fuel and raw materials, and instead increasing those of finished products, it is evident that containerization will be of further importance in the promotion of world trade. There is room for improvement in the inter-modal system. For example, transportation by sea from South- East Asia to Japan, and by air from Japan to the USA are as of yet uncultivated inter-modal segments In this study, under these back ground, we implemented a questionnaire to grasp the freight forwarders' needs and satisfaction level. Using the data from this survey and the method of multivariate analysis, the customers' rating structure was analyzed.
