About us

Greetings

Our Company based in Hinase, has been thrived as the maritime industry since the early 1600s, and has been transporting by sailing ship since the Meiji era,
having been engaged in the shipping business of coastal and ocean-going vessels for many years.
"Safe operation required as a shipping company to safely carry luggage from the loading port to the landing port without any incident" is what we have been accumulating. From now on, while flexibly responding to the changes required by the times, we aim to further grow to provide more safer and environmentally friendly marine transportation services.
Moreover, we look forward very much to your further continuous support and encouragement.
