We started business in Mukojima, Tokyo in April 1913, as a shipbuilder specializing in Western-style high-speed ships. Since then we have built high-speed ships for navies. After World War II, we have been mainly building patrol boats, guard ships, fireboats and high-speed passenger ships for customers such as the Japan Coast Guard, the National Police Agency, local public organizations, passenger ship owners and overseas ship owners.
We worked on wooden boats when we started business. But today new ship materials including steel, high tensile steel, aluminum alloys and fiber reinforced plastic are being developed, and as the Japanese economy progresses, customer needs for high-speed ships are continuing to change toward security, firefighting, eliminating pollution, oceanographic investigation and high-speed transportation. We have also been greatly emphasizing the pursuit of comfort in recent years.
We prioritize safety first and nurture human resources who will support the next generation that loves the sea, ships and manufacturing. We will stay ahead and change, continuously evolving, and strive for shipbuilding that satisfies customer needs.
