As the overseas transportation division of the Idemitsu Group, we proactively intend to focus on global environmental issues while achieving safe, stable, and efficient transportation of energy.
As the overseas transportation division of the Idemitsu Group, we have been responsible for transportation of energy, including crude oil, for many years.
Since its establishment in 1962, we have actively promoted the jumboization of oil tankers.
Examples include “the Nissho Maru,” a 130,000 DWT tanker constructed in 1962, the largest tanker at the time, and “the Idemitsu Maru,” the first VLCC over 200,000 DWT constructed in 1966. We have led the shipping industry as pioneers in the construction and operation of VLCCs.
In addition, we have endeavored to cultivate Japanese and Filipino crewmembers with high skills in tanker operations.
We have also expanded our business areas to transport LPG, petroleum products, chemicals, lubricants, coal, etc., by leveraging the knowledge and experience gained through years of crude oil transportation.
We will continue to proactively focus on global environmental issues, such as introducing eco-friendly vessels, while ensuring safe, stable, and efficient overseas transportation. Additionally, we will be responsible for the overseas transportation related to new businesses that contribute to carbon neutrality, as promoted by the Idemitsu Group, and will continue to contribute to the decarbonization of the entire group.
