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
Utilizing the only "100,000 G/T class ultra-large repair dock" in the Tohoku region and further north, along with three other large repair docks at the Hakodate Shipyard and two facilities including the Muroran Plant, which has a large 15,000 G/T class ship repair dock and two slipways, we handle a wide variety of ship repair works ranging from specialized inspections for Ministry of Defense vessels to government ships, as well as from large ferries to fishing boats. With our traditional technology and extensive experience, we are capable of flexibly responding to any maritime accidents, such as grounding or fire, ensuring reliable support from investigation to recovery.
Steel structure machinery business
The history of utilizing shipbuilding technology for steel structure and machinery manufacturing dates back a long time. At our company, operations began during the Meiji period and included bridge construction and erection as part of the land-based division. The torch has not been extinguished to this day, and it continues in Muroran, known as the 'city of iron.' In the steel structure machinery business, we have been responsible for the construction of numerous bridges on major roads throughout the country. In the field of industrial machinery, we offer unique manufacturing tailored to our customers' needs, including large cargo-handling machines such as unloaders active in ports, 50-ton mobile jib cranes, and gantry cranes.
