Safety and rapid nationwide transportation

In 1965, we constructed Japan’s first LPG tankers equipped with pillow tanks and advanced to LPG transportation. We currently operate 18 vessels and strive to provide safe and rapid transportation of our clients’ products from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south.

Import and export by vessels for domestic and international transportation

Three of the vessels, which are for both domestic and international transportation, contribute to the import and export of small lots (less than 1000 tons), which cannot be transported by vessels of the LPG group.

Provision of transportation services according to customer needs

Items that we transport include petrochemical products (propylene, butadiene, C4 types, C5 types, and VCM) and fuel LPG (propane and butane). We are highly evaluated for our schedules and lots, meeting our clients’ needs on the strength of a large number of vessels in operation. In the transportation of alkenes such as propylene, in particular, we operate vessels for ethylene centers and propylene users across the country to respond to our clients’ requests.
