Greetings from President & CEO
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was established on 1 January 2018, by succeeding the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ (MHI) shipbuilding business. MHI has a long history in shipbuilding, dating back to 1884. In 1917, the first Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was established by integrating the shipyards in Nagasaki, Kobe, and Shimonoseki. Since then, we have delivered a broad range of ships to customers around the world and established our global status as a leading shipbuilder. However, now we face globalization of shipping industry, the accompanying expansion of shipbuilding scale, and intensified competition in the global market. That is why I believe it is time for us to significantly change our shipbuilding business model. Traditionally, the business model has been to build and sell products. However, in addition to this, we will now actively engage in the maritime engineering and services businesses. This will include providing design-centric construction support, environmentally conscious technologies, autonomous ship technologies, and AI-driven IT technologies. This will enable us to respond to the current needs of our customers and society by leveraging our deep expertise in maritime technologies and MHI’s wide-ranging technologies in many related fields. As a group of professionals who explore the potential of a wide range of technologies, we will work together as one, and aim to create value with reliability, quality and speed, all based on our safety-first principle. We look forward to your continued support.
Toru Kitamura, President & CEO
