We are ship broker doing business globally where we arrange chartering of LNG carriers, sale, purchase of any kind of newbuilding vessels or second hand vessels and financial arrangement to ship owners. There are many ship owners, operators, charterers and financial institutions in Japan who need global market access and information.

What do you like the most about NCCJ?
We found our place in Norwegian community and established a good relationship with other members in Japan.

Looking at the next 3-5 years, please mention top three opportunities your company see when doing business in Japan?
Shipping industry in Japan is still growing and need to go out into global market from local market to whom we can give our services. In LNG shipping sector, LNG is getting into commoditized market where we have close relationship with global energy entities. We can provide Japanese gas and power utility companies what they need to get into new stage of industry.

Do you see any specific opportunities or challenges being a Norwegian company in Japan?
Most of Japanese recognize Norwegian people as highly reliable and respectable. Also, especially in maritime sector, there are a lots of similarity where we can work share and work together.
