Marine transport business
Ship rental and leasing business (Ship-owner business)
Japan is an island nation surrounded by oceans and seas. Since the ancient times, we have traveled to and from and traded with foreign countries by ships.
Today, the marine transport still serves as an important network that supports the world economy.
Since its establishment, our company has played an important part in the marine transport business as a ship leasing (or ship-owner) company. As the owner of large-size cargo ships, we built partnership with major public marine transport companies, based on our steady and healthy management foundation.
*Ship rental and leasing business is a type of business to lease ships owned by the Company or by the affiliated companies to ship operators.
