Welcome to the homepage of Kyokuyo Shipyard a.k.a. Team Kyokuyo. We are a merchant ship builder recognized for its design capabilities. We take on challenges that require innovative solutions and manufacture ships that could not be made without us.
On October 14, 2025, Kyokuyo Shipyard proudly completed and delivered GENBU, a next-generation 696 TEU coastal container ship.
Named after 'Genbu', the Black Tortoise of the Four Symbols in Chinese mythology and the guardian of water, GENBU was delivered amid heavy rain and strong winds that swept in suddenly after days of calm autumn weather -- almost as if Genbu himself were blessing the occasion.
