A Message from our President

The maritime industry is now undergoing a period of change. Efforts toward decarbonization are becoming more serious, and safety standards are becoming more stringent. At Hachiuma Steamship Co., Ltd., all our employees are working hard to contribute to society through the safe navigation of ships, which is the primary goal of our main business pillars: international shipping and ship management.

Regarding environmental issues, in addition to various measures led by the International Maritime Organization, the EU has started regulating greenhouse gases, and we will respond to these initiatives thoroughly.

Since embarking on the maritime industry as the Shipping Div., Hachiuma Shoten in 1878 (Meiji 11), we have overcome hardships such as the loss of seamen and ships during World War II, and after joining the NYK Group in 1964, we have arrived at where we are today. We are always aware of our social mission to provide safe and excellent services and wish to contribute to our stakeholders through fair corporate activities. Furthermore, we recognize that our employees support the company and strive to provide a favorable work environment.

Thank you for your continuous encouragement and support.
