A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Katsuhiko Ochi, President, Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation

HEADING TO BE CENTENNIAL

For many decades, Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation has been producing unique high value-added vessels in a wide variety of designs with one goal in mind: to be the "only one" company that is one step ahead of our competitors.

With our comprehensive strengths (sales, design, engineering, and financial capabilities) developed over our long history, we are steadily increasing our presence in global niche markets by proposing and building advanced vessels that meet the needs of our customers.

Inside the company, we support our employees in realizing their dreams and goals so that they can always feel a sense of fulfillment, motivation, and accomplishment. We also endeavor to create a system that allows everybody working here to share a sense of unity as members of Team Kyokuyo, in a safe and clean environment.

We started our business at Shimonoseki in 1942. Under our unwavering management goals, we will carry on our voyage even in severe sea conditions, heading to become a "100-year Company" that is loved and relied on by the local community.

Thank you for your continuous support and encouragement. We look forward to sailing together with you!

Katsuhiko Ochi
President
