Newbuilding

Commercial ships

Our ship newbuilding is based at the Mizushima Shipyard in Okayama Prefecture, at which mainly bulk carriers and tankers are built.
In particular, we have constructed more than 100 Panamax Bulkers, which are the world’s largest vessels that can pass through the Panama Canal.
The Panamax Bulker Series has established a reputation for unsurpassed quality. We will continue to pursue the construction of high quality ships.
