Message from
the President

First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued and exceptional support.

Since our founding in 1951, we have remained committed to our mission of “supporting Japanese industry and daily life, and bridging society through maritime transport.” For many years, we have been entrusted with the logistics of petroleum and chemical raw materials and have consistently dedicated ourselves to providing safe and reliable maritime transportation services.

Today, the maritime industry stands at a major turning point. In addition to addressing climate change and the rapid advancement of digital technologies, one of the most urgent issues we face is the shortage of seafarers. The workforce in the maritime sector is aging, while fewer young people are entering the field. This trend raises serious concerns about the long-term sustainability of the entire industry.

To address this issue, we are actively working to improve the working environment, ensure proper management of working hours, and enhance the appeal of seafaring as a profession through outreach and support. Looking ahead, we are exploring the potential introduction of labor-saving and automation technologies, with the aim of achieving both safety and operational efficiency.

We remain committed to supporting society and industry through maritime transport. As a company that bridges society through the sea, we will continue to prioritize safe operations, while making sustained efforts to reduce our environmental impact and achieve sustainable growth.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and guidance.

  • President, Chief Executive Officer
    Asahi Tanker Co., Ltd.
