JAS Italy, a leader in the international transport market, was founded in 1978. After just 10 years, it topped the IATA rankings and now has extensive experience in the sector thanks to a staff of knowledgeable professionals who can organize and cover with efficiency, the entire logistics chain.
Originally founded as a provider of air shipments, the company later successively developed a maritime service, acquiring an important role in this field. We enrich the range of services offered to customers. JAS has developed its expertise in some of the leading vertical global markets such as oil & energy, project business, government GLS logistics services, food and beverage, and fashion.

JAS has been named a Sapphire Ambassador by the Blue Whales Blue Skies (BWBS) Program, recognizing its outstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and marine conservation. This honor is awarded to companies demonstrating exceptional cooperation in reducing vessel speeds to protect marine life and improve air quality.
BWBS is a collaborative initiative between federal and local government agencies, foundations, and environmental organizations. The program monitors the speeds of vessels 300 gross tons and larger that pass through voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) zones each year, awarding recognition based on the percentage of total distance traveled at whale-safe speeds.
"Being recognized as a Sapphire Ambassador is a proud moment for us at JAS. It shows what’s possible when we align our operations with environmental responsibility. A key part of this recognition has been engaging with our carriers—strengthening relationships through a shared commitment to sustainability and making a difference together," Lars Huebecker, EVP Global Head of Ocean Freight, reflects on the recognition.
The Sapphire Ambassador level is awarded to companies whose fleets achieve 85-100% of their total distance traveled within VSR zones at speeds of 10 knots or less. JAS earned this distinction by ensuring that over 90% of its import and export shipments through California ports in 2024 were handled by BWBS-participating shipping lines.
At the annual BWBS awards ceremony held on April 16 at AltaSea in the Port of Los Angeles, JAS proudly received the Whale Tail Award, a symbol of its dedication to sustainable shipping practices. These efforts play a critical role in reducing the risk of fatal whale strikes, lowering air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizing underwater noise pollution.
“We’re honored to support the Blue Whales Blue Skies mission and proud of the progress made together with our ocean carriers. Protecting marine life and air quality is essential, and the BWBS team is doing incredible work to bring this to light. It’s a topic that often doesn’t get enough attention in the industry, yet it affects us all," Andrea Goeman, SVP QHSE & Sustainability, emphasizes the importance of the initiative.
As a Sapphire Ambassador, JAS continues to lead by example, demonstrating that sustainability and logistics excellence go hand in hand. This recognition underscores JAS’s broader mission to drive meaningful change within the industry while delivering customer value with integrity and environmental responsibility.

At JAS, sustainability is a journey we're deeply committed to, and Earth Month serves as an ideal moment to shine a spotlight on initiatives that embody this commitment. One initiative that continues to drive positive change is JAS ECONTAINER, our innovative ocean freight solution designed to enhance operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
JAS ECONTAINER combines the efficiency of headload shipments with eco-friendly practices. This approach has been at the forefront of our efforts for some time now, as highlighted by Vice President, Global Head of LCL, Peter Sinka.
"In our ongoing journey towards sustainability, JAS ECONTAINER stands as a testament to our commitment to environmental responsibility," says Sinka. "By encouraging frequent replenishment and eliminating the pressure to fill containers to capacity, JAS ECONTAINER helps shippers reduce inventory costs, optimize warehouse space, and mitigate supply chain disruptions."
JAS ECONTAINER isn't just about operational efficiency—it's about driving meaningful change in the industry. Sinka emphasizes the product's positive environmental impact, citing its adoption of Marine Biofuel programs through insetting to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint.
"Our goal was to create a product that not only meets modern supply chain challenges but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability," Sinka explains. "By choosing JAS ECONTAINER, shippers not only benefit from cost savings and operational efficiencies but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future."
Beyond its environmental benefits, JAS ECONTAINER offers a competitive edge in the market. Sinka notes that the product bridges the gap between traditional LCL and FCL offerings, providing cost-effective solutions for shipments ranging from 20 to 50 CBM.
"Traditionally, LCL shipments face competitiveness challenges beyond a certain volume threshold," Sinka observes. "JAS ECONTAINER's pricing methodology ensures cost-effectiveness even for larger shipments, making it a preferred choice for shippers seeking optimal value and sustainability."
As businesses worldwide prioritize sustainability and operational efficiency, JAS ECONTAINER emerges as a catalyst for positive change. Its flat-rate pricing model, strategic consolidation strategies, and eco-friendly initiatives not only drive cost savings but also empower shippers to make environmentally conscious choices.
"In a world where sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand, JAS ECONTAINER offers a compelling solution," Sinka concludes. "We invite businesses to join us in embracing a greener future—one shipment at a time."

Seaports are critical components of the global transport system. JAS is present with our own port terminals at every port in Norway as well as via our partners in countries around the globe. This provides a global network of opportunities for our customers with the ability to meet all types of international inquiries. With convenient port locations, it is only a short distance from ships to land-based logistics functions.
We have a close relationship with large industrial suppliers and ship owners and operate as agents for the largest feeder companies. We offer loading and discharging of bulk loads, tankers, and container vessels, and quayside storage provides direct access to container ships and marine vessels. This is available from both our own and our clients’ quays. In addition, our experienced team members can provide all services related to the stuffing, stripping, securing, and packaging of goods in containers.
All Norway ports have container depots and dedicated staff with broad experience in terminal operations. Our teams of qualified service engineers oversee the maintenance and repair of all containers, ensuring they are ready to be loaded and shipped. We provide daily stock- and movement-reports, and always have the right equipment available at the right time.
We offer a cross-docking solution that keeps your goods moving. The storage time is significantly reduced, or eliminated, as the goods are distributed directly to the customer. The goods are received through an inbound dock, separated, mixed as required, and directly transferred to the outbound dock. This is a convenient solution for temperature-controlled goods that must be transported quickly or already packaged and sorted goods.
One of the most important things in port logistics is personal service. We put the customers first, solving their problems by providing customized solutions and around-the-clock customer service with flexible and reliable processes. No matter the size of your shipment or the needs you may have, we are your complete port logistics provider.

On September 08th, 2020 JAS Italia turned 42 years old, a year that will be remembered in history for the COVID-19 pandemic, the numerous human losses in the world, and the serious economic consequences caused to all world economies.
This year JAS Italia has proved once again that it can react as a great team in the face of adversity, establishing itself as the leading transport dispatcher of DPI (individual protection devices), respirators, medical-hospital equipment for Civil Protection, hospitals, Italian regions, and private companies.
JAS Italia has been active from March until the beginning of August with weekly charter flights from China in order to meet the strong demand for the supply of masks and other security devices. Two HUBS have been created, JAS Rome and JAS Milan providing also 7/7 days H24 road delivery services. It was not only a matter of "business" but also of "civic sense and responsibility" at the service of our great country.
The bad experience of the COVID-19 has paradoxically also shown positive aspects, such as the ability to react and to work as a team, the innate qualities of the Italian people to use, for the first time in 42 years, the remote work guaranteeing the quality of service required by our customers, to find alternative solutions to the market standard ones, to reflect more on the next steps that we will have to take for a greater digitization and technological investments. Of course, all this concerns us, but our government will have to modernize our country with investments on broadband, infrastructural computer network and other.
Never before has our slogan, "People Make The Difference" matched the current spirit that will project us toward new challenges.
FORZA JAS ITALIA ❤

L’8 settembre 2020 JAS Italia compirà 42 anni, un anno questo che verrà ricordato nella storia per la pandemia COVID-19, per le numerose perdite umane nel mondo e per le gravi conseguenze economiche causate a tutte le economie mondiali.
Quest’anno JAS Italia ha dimostrato ancora una volta di sapere reagire da grande squadra di fronte alle avversità, affermandosi quale spedizioniere leader per i trasporti di DPI (dispositivi di protezione individuale), respiratori, attrezzature medico-ospedaliere destinate alla Protezione Civile, agli ospedali, alle regioni italiane ed a società private.
JAS Italia si è attivata da marzo fino ai primi di agosto con voli charter settimanali dalla Cina per poter far fronte alle forti esigenze di forniture delle mascherine e di altri dispositivi di sicurezza. Sono stati creati due HUBS, JAS Roma e JAS Milano fornendo anche servizi di consegne via strada 7/7 H24. Non si è trattato solo di “business” ma anche di “senso civico e di responsabilità” al servizio del nostro grande Paese.
La brutta esperienza del COVID-19 ha paradossalmente palesato anche degli aspetti positivi, quali la capacità di reagire e di fare squadra, doti innate in noi italiani, di avvalersi per la prima volta in 42 anni del lavoro da remoto garantendo comunque la qualità di servizio richiesta dalla nostra clientela, di trovare soluzioni alternative a quelle standard di mercato, di riflettere maggiormente sui prossimi passi che dovremo compiere per una maggiore digitalizzazione ed investimenti tecnologici societari. Ovviamente tutto ciò ci riguarda, mentre al nostro Governo toccherà invece modernizzare il Paese con investimenti sulla banda larga, rete informatica infrastrutturale ed altro.
Mai come ora, il nostro slogan “People make the difference” corrisponde allo spirito attuale che ci proietterà verso nuove sfide.
FORZA JAS ITALIA ❤
