About Us

國喜商船について

Our company philosophy is rooted in the words "Never forget your original intention," which our first president, Kuniyoshi Nabeshima, cherished throughout his life.

​

While upholding the integrity and beliefs of our founding, we constantly look ahead to changing times, adapt flexibly, and strive to be a company that continues to earn the trust of our customers and society.

 

An unwavering commitment and a willingness to embrace change—these two qualities are what define our unchanging beliefs.

President’s Greeting 

社長挨拶

At the heart of our company lies the phrase that our founder, Kuniyoshi Nabeshima, cherished throughout his life: " Never forget your original intentions ."

 

Since our founding in 1954, we have upheld this phrase as a cornerstone of our corporate philosophy.

It's not just a motto; it's a manifestation of our determination to never forget our initial aspirations and integrity, no matter how much experience we gain or how much we grow.

 

Based on our shipowning business, we have built strong relationships of trust with operators.

At the same time, as a " ship broker " connecting shipowners, we have created many opportunities for encounters and matches.

 

These two faces represent " the one who owns the ship " and " the one who ties up the ship ."

Having both of these aspects is what makes our company unique and strong.

 

However, no matter how much our business expands, the foundation of our actions is

It's about " the resolve I had when I first faced the ship " and " my attitude of wholeheartedly serving our customers ."

 

Moving forward, with the spirit of " never forgetting our original intentions " at heart, and building upon our extensive network and the trust we have cultivated, we will continue to strive to be a unique and indispensable company in both the shipowning and ship trading industries.
