History
A voyage across vast oceans and many lands
At the time our group was established the centre of maritime business was in Kobe in central Japan. We grew rapidly in this city and built our main office, enabling us to perform well at the heart of the Industry. Many famous maritime related companies, including such venerable establishments as Lloyds Register and the Shipping Exchange, chose to relocate to our building.
