Summary
The Hokkaido Transport Bureau and partner agencies will hold the LogiScrum logistics matching event in Hakodate on July 23, 2026, targeting the 2024 problem in freight transport.
The Hokkaido Transport Bureau announced on July 1, 2026 that the LogiScrum Executive Committee will hold a logistics matching event, LogiScrum, in Hakodate on July 23, 2026. The event connects shippers, logistics operators and warehouse operators who face freight-transport challenges, and supports joint transport and relay transport arrangements across southern Hokkaido.
What happened
The three-hour event runs from 13:30 to 16:30 at Hakodate Hokuyo Building 8F Hall, one minute walk from JR Hakodate Station. Recruitment for participating shippers and operators runs from July 1 to July 17, 2026. The initiative is designed to help operators respond to the 2024 problem, the wave of trucking workforce and hours-of-service pressures that follow the April 2024 tightening of driver overtime limits.
Why it matters
The LogiScrum format is one of the most concrete responses in Hokkaido to the 2024 problem, and the involvement of multiple national agencies (MLIT Development Bureau, Transport Bureau, Economy Ministry office, Agriculture Ministry office) alongside the Hokkaido Government signals a coordinated policy push. Southern Hokkaido logistics is particularly sensitive to relay-transport availability due to the region’s geography.
