Carrier ahead of global pace

Today's rapid pace of development and globalization presents a world of opportunities, as well as challenges, in the shipping and cargo industry. In this fast-changing scenario, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers - one of the world's leading ocean carriers of project cargo, heavy lift cargo, steel products and bulk cargo - remains steadfast in providing quality, secure and environmentally friendly services.

A subsidiary of Japan's largest shipping company, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Group, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers operates vessels certified for quality assurance, environment management and occupational health and safety. "Being a core firm of the NYK Group gives us a major advantage because of our global links," said Masamichi Morooka, president of NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers.

The specialist carrier is committed to providing quality marine transportation services for heavy cargo around the world. "To guarantee customer satisfaction and meet clients' requirements, we maintain global offices in tandem with NYK Group's extensive worldwide network, enabling us to meet all ocean transportation needs," Morooka said.

NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers operates a fleet of 200 ships that have been specially outfitted to transport a wide range of cargo used in the industrial, agricultural, energy supply and urban infrastructure sectors.

Commenting on his company's business in China, Morooka said: "It represents one of our key markets. The country is an important player, as its need to import materials to sustain development keeps growing. At the moment, we are mostly engaged in imports into China. Nevertheless we would like to see our role increase in its export trade as well."
