Yusen Logistics Establishes Shipping & Maritime Working Group – First Participation in NYK Booth at Sea Japan 2026

Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd. (President: Hidenori Hara) introduced its initiatives and related services at the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) booth during 'Sea Japan 2026,' an international maritime exhibition held from April 22 to 24, 2026. This participation was part of the company's efforts to prepare for a full-scale entry into shipping and maritime-related logistics services. The primary goal of this participation was to communicate for the first time externally the initiatives of the newly established 'Shipping & Maritime Working Group (WG)' from the 2026 fiscal year. Through supply chain solutions and logistics services, the company aimed to showcase the value it can provide to the shipping and maritime industry to a wide range of visitors. In recent years, against the backdrop of the Japanese government's policies for the 'Revitalization of the Shipbuilding Industry,' investments in labor-saving and environmental equipment at domestic shipyards are progressing, and a recovery in demand for new shipbuilding and repairs is expected. Furthermore, due to the globalization of procurement sources and rising geopolitical risks, strengthening the resilience of the entire supply chain has become an increasingly important issue in the shipping and maritime industry. Under these circumstances, as procurement logistics expand across borders, the role of a global logistics company like Yusen Logistics is significant and multifaceted in supporting the improvement of domestic production rates and stable supply in Japan's shipbuilding industry. At the exhibition, visitors were able to experience the comprehensive strength of the NYK Group, and the company introduced an overview of its new supply chain management services for the shipping and maritime industry. Moving forward, the company will further strengthen its collaboration with shipbuilding companies, ship owners, parts and equipment manufacturers, and maritime-related customers. By providing supply chain solutions and logistics services that contribute to the development of the shipping and maritime industry, the company will deepen its knowledge and steadily advance its initiatives.
