MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Thank you very much for visiting the website of Nitta Kisen Kaisha, Ltd.

Since our company was founded in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture in 1955, we have been in the ship-owner business.

During that time, we have been operating our business steadily, overcoming rough times such as industry restructuring and consolidation, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that destroyed all of our offices, the Lehman Shock, and the period of super-strong yen.

Today, the political and economic situations surrounding Japan and the world are changing so drastically and so quickly that it is difficult to imagine what will happen in the future.

The marine transportation industry is also undergoing a transformation that cannot be predicted or explained based solely on past experience.

We will continue to manage our business solidly, looking to the future and obtaining new information from various sources.

We will continue to grow and cooperate with operators, financial institutions, and other related companies with whom we do business, so that we can contribute to the development of our country and the world, however small that contribution may be,

We will continue to practice safe and efficient vessel operation.

We look forward to your continued guidance and support in the future.
