We provides ship fuels and lubricants not only in Japan’s domestic market but also worldwide, for coastal ships and ocean-going vessels alike. We have five of our own fuel supply vessels providing swift, efficient service to vessels calling in Tokyo and Osaka bays.
We are upgrading our owned and operated fuel supply vessels to add even greater value, meeting the needs of the times with enhanced with the environmental performance and safety equipment. In Tokyo Bay, we launched our new fuel supply vessel, the Techno Star, in 2017, followed by the Techno Ace in April 2022.
The Techno Ace is Japan’s first fuel supply vessel to earn the top rating of five stars for its superior environmental performance in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)’s energy conservation rating system for Japanese coastal ships. We developed the Ship-to-Ship (STS) auxiliary device that uses electromagnetic force to connect vessels, acquired the patent, and installed it on vessel.
In addition, as an initiative on new fuels, we procure and sell LNG fuel in Japan as a bridge solution toward zero emissions in the future.
