The environment surrounding shipbuilding industry is becoming increasingly severe because of intensification of order-taking competitions among domestic and foreign shipbuilding companies. Recent environmental regulations related to the shipping industry, such as regulations on emissions of global warming gases and opaqueness of world economy, have a lso served to add to the bleakness for the shipbuilding industry.

Under such backgrounds, we, Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. acquired shares of Watanabe Shipbuilding Co., Ltd . in January 2018 and Usuki Shipyard Co., Ltd. in April 2018, and we are now one group. This enables us to diversify the types of ship which we can build, and we can respond more flexibly to meet the several demand s in the market changes.

Fukuoka Prefecture holds the biggest city and also the center of economics and politics in Kyushu, Oita Prefecture is surrounded by rias coasts and Nagasaki Prefecture is blessed with a good quality of ports. In these 3 places which are rich in variety, our shipbuilding group is making efforts for building ships to carry the hopes and the dreams of humankind.
