Business & Products
New shipbuilding business
Our primary business is shipbuilding, which accounts for over 60% of our sales. We are constructing cargo ships that are versatile and suitable for various cargo handling operations, and coastal ferries with using the unique know-how that our company has cultivated over many years.
Recently, companies have been required to take greater responsibility for environmental issues as part of their ESG initiatives. We have taken steps to counter global warming and reduce our environmental impact by collaborating with Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a group company, to develop and build eco-friendly ships.

This series is a 40,000DWT handy-sized bulk carrier that was jointly developed with Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
HIGH BULK 40SE
(Super Eco)
This is the latest 40,000DWT handy bulk carrier, which inherits the tradition of the old model and is highly acclaimed around the world as the "Hakodate brand."
Car ferry
This ferry is a medium-distance, barrier-free vessel with a capacity of 3,000 gross tons, designed for regular passenger use in coastal areas.
Environmental performance
To meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations such as NOx, SOx and EEDI, we have implemented a flexible design and construction system. This enables us to offer customized proposals that cater to the specific needs of our customers.
Seaworthiness
Our company has pioneered the "wide, shallow draft" hull design, which has evolved year by year to create a versatile hull that can provide access to a variety of ports, has a large cargo capacity, offers a long cruising range due to its energy-saving and low fuel consumption features, and provides excellent seaworthiness.
Versatility
In addition to lumber, we also handle a wide variety of cargo, including steel coils and hazardous materials, to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Ship repair business
We have a variety of specialized ship repair facilities capable of handling complex projects. Our Hakodate Shipyard has three large repair docks, including the only "XNUMX G/T class ultra-large repair dock" in northern Japan. Also, our Muroran Manufacturer has a large XNUMX G/T class ship repair dock and two slipways. Our expertise extends from conducting Ministry of Defense naval vessel inspections to repairing government ships, large ferries, and fishing vessels. With our extensive experience and traditional technology, we can respond flexibly to maritime accidents such as grounding or fire, providing reliable support from investigation to recovery.
Steel structure machinery business
Our company has a long history of manufacturing steel structure machinery, utilizing the technology developed in shipbuilding. We started our operations in the Meiji era, where we dealt with bridge manufacturing and erection as a part of our land division. Our passion for this work continues to this day, and we are proud to be located in Muroran, the "Iron City". We are responsible for constructing numerous bridges on major roads throughout the country in the steel structure machinery business. In the industrial machinery field, we also provide unique manufacturing solutions tailored to customer needs for the creation of large cargo handling machines such as unloaders used in ports, XNUMX-ton travelling jib cranes, and bridge cranes.
