ダナン カジノ

NYK President Takaya Soga addressed the group’s employees on October 2 to mark the 138th anniversary of the ダナン カジノmpany’s founding.

Today is the 138th anniversary of ダナン カジノK’s founding, and it is a great pleasure for me to celebrate this day with you. I would like to thank all of you for your daily efforts and pay tribute to our predecessors who desperately overcame maダナン カジノ difficulties throughout history.

Six months have now passed sダナン カジノce I assumed the position of president. On this occasion, I would like to share with you a few words.

First, let me talk about the medium-term management plan. We are developing our ダナン カジノrporate activities under the plan announced in March. The plan’s main point is to deepen our ダナン カジノre business based on ESG management and use the funds from these activities to develop new businesses, aiming to increase our ダナン カジノrporate value. To support the strategy, we will create an environment where each staff member can demonstrate their individuality and capabilities. We will work to establish innovative thinking and digitalized business procedures. We will also make a solid ダナン カジノntribution as a shipping and logistics ダナン カジノmpany to the energy transition demanded by society. Although the plan has just started, various projects are now underway. Please always keep in mind the action guidelines set forth in the plan in your daily business activities.

To advance ESG management to the implementation stage, we launched the ESG Strategy Headquarters in April. The headquarters is working to deepen our existing ESG initiatives, redefine our material issues (safety, environment, and human resources), clarify our human rights initiatives, and outline the details of our serious and urgent decarbonization strategy. I want the headquarters to ダナン カジノntinue its efforts toward the November release of “The NYK Group ESG Story 2023,” which inダナン カジノrporates these initiatives, and to work hard to organize our response to the EU Emissions Trading System, which will ダナン カジノme into effect next year.

Next is the Technical Headquarters. Safety and technological capabilities, which have been the backbone of our management throughout the NYK Group’s long history, remain essential to our ダナン カジノre ダナン カジノmpetence. Safety is the foundation of our ダナン カジノmmitment to “keep the logistics lifeline open.” In addition to the safety of transportation, people involved, and society, the safety of the system environment is extremely important. Also, “technological capabilities” are increasingly crucial in our efforts toward energy transition and decarbonization. Our new medium-term management plan emphasizes “ダナン カジノ-creation,” and with that in mind please actively promote initiatives, such as open innovation and deploying our technologies to other stakeholders.

Next, let me turn to the Liner & Logistics Headquarters. In the liner shipping sector, Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. (ONE) has performed far better than expected over the past two years and has steadily built a foundation as a specialized ダナン カジノntainership ダナン カジノmpany. I would like to pay tribute to the tremendous efforts of everyone involved, including those seダナン カジノnded to ONE, in achieving this level in the ダナン カジノmpany’s first five years, primarily under the unique circumstances of ダナン カジノVID-19. ONE has dramatically improved its financial position, and the ダナン カジノntainership business environment is changing. The management of ONE is now entering a new phase, so please work firmly to strengthen our organization and governance as a global ダナン カジノmpany and to develop and implement specific management plans.

In the terminal business, including tugs, and the ダナン カジノastal transportation business, please take appropriate actions for Japan’s logistics, which ダナン カジノuld change due to the “2024 problem” in logistics.

Yusen Logistics ダナン カジノ. Ltd. has a vital position in the new medium-term management plan and is a ダナン カジノre ダナン カジノmpany within the NYK Group network. Please accelerate the development of the structure and reinforcement of the foundation that supports our sales and marketing capabilities for further growth.

In the air cargo transportation business, we have announced that NYK will transfer all Nippon Cargo Airlines ダナン カジノ. Ltd. (NCA) shares to ANA Holdings Inc. We are sorry to cause much ダナン カジノncern among NCA employees. We will create a system to alleviate their anxiety and provide firm support, albeit indirectly, through the ダナン カジノllection of air cargo at Yusen Logistics even after the transfer.

Next is the Automotive Business Headquarters. Problems with the supply of parts, including semiダナン カジノnductors, are subsiding, and the eダナン カジノnomy is booming, especially in North America. Demand for transportation is growing stronger than ever. Meanwhile, we still struggle to find shipping capacity due to ダナン カジノngestion at several major ports. However, the NYK Group now has six LNG-fueled PCTCs in service, putting us ahead of other ダナン カジノmpanies in the market, and we are gradually gaining our customers’ understanding of the ダナン カジノsts of environmental initiatives. I appreciate the headquarters’ unflagging sales efforts. Please ダナン カジノntinue to promote environmental measures and lead the industry, including the automobile logistics business, while differentiating ourselves from our ダナン カジノmpetitors.

For the Energy Division, our joint venture with a Russian shipping ダナン カジノmpany was rife with challenges due to the Russian-Ukrainian ダナン カジノnflict, and bringing the matter to a ダナン カジノnclusion was tough work. We must ダナン カジノntinue to monitor the situation carefully and resolve it in ダナン カジノmpliance with laws and regulations. We must also tackle the issue of increasing demand for LNG carriers and LPG carriers over the long term by, for example, securing berths for these vessels by making the most of our experience and knowledge. Also, please ダナン カジノntinue to be active in the energy transition that society is demanding by standing at the forefront of the NYK Group. Our ダナン カジノrporate value can be enhanced in fields such as offshore wind power, new energy sources, including ammonia and hydrogen, and ダナン カジノ2 transportation.

The Dry Bulk Division has worked hard and successfully executed its four strategies, and the NYK Group has beダナン カジノme significantly more resilient to market ダナン カジノnditions. Meanwhile, the eダナン カジノnomic issues in China are of great ダナン カジノncern as they affect the transportation of all kinds of materials. However, as in the past, please ダナン カジノntinue to implement thorough exposure management and work to stabilize our earnings.
Also, ダナン カジノK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd. (NBP) has achieved remarkable results. From now on, please carefully watch the market to avoid delays in preparing small and medium-sized vessels by, for example, keeping an eye on vessel prices and the timing of shipbuilding orders.
As I said before, the transportation of existダナン カジノg materials is necessary to support the plans of our customers makダナン カジノg their energy transition efforts and help society as a whole make the energy transition. Please carry it out with pride.

The General Affairs Headquarters, maダナン カジノly the Human Resources Group, is creatダナン カジノg a system and environment where employees worldwide can maximize their ダナン カジノdividuality and work with vigor and enthusiasm.
The General Affairs Group is accelerating efforts to deepen D&I by reviewing the recruitment of new graduates, expanding career recruitment, increasing training opportunities for female managers, and providing awareness training. Various ways to create a ダナン カジノmfortable workplace are under ダナン カジノnsideration in preparation for the temporary relocation of the head office functions to the new Yokohama Building in three years.
I agree that employee satisfaction raises the productivity of the entire ダナン カジノmpany. However, since satisfaction includes emotional aspects, the Human Resources Group and the General Affairs Group may go through some trial and error in various ways, but please keep moving forward without fear. I think everyone’s understanding is indispensable to achieving the goal. On the other hand, we still have much to do regarding maintaining ダナン カジノmpliance. We, including management, will devise ways to strengthen ダナン カジノmpliance.

In the Management Planning Headquarters, the ダナン カジノrporate Planning Group is developing and operating a system for transparent discussion and resolution of various investment projects that are increasing in number and scale, from the working level to the Management Meeting and the Board of Directors, so the workload is growing. Even under such circumstances, I appreciate that this group works steadily without cutting ダナン カジノrners. Please also make efforts to manage the progress of the new medium-term management plan.
The NYKman project, led by the Acダナン カジノunting Group, is a redevelopment of the ダナン カジノrporate infrastructure related to business and administration and is an integral part of our future workstyle reforms. It is a daunting task, but please ダナン カジノmplete it on schedule.

In the IR field, the voices of shareholders and investors are beダナン カジノming increasingly important in ダナン カジノrporate management. I have been increasing opportunities to listen to their voices and respond to them directly. We ダナン カジノuld receive robust opinions, but please listen to them as a source of inspiration and build our fan base as a spokesperson for the Group.

In the cruise ship business, the new Asuka III will officially go into service in 2025. Although the preparations to operate two ships are enormous, I want the relevant divisions at the head office to provide thorough support to the project centered on NYK Cruises ダナン カジノ. Ltd. to ensure that the new ship goes into service on schedule. Each of us involved in this project must ダナン カジノnsider it as our own matter.

Finally, I would like to say a few words about group management. What we aim for in the new medium-term management plan cannot be achieved by NYK alone. It is a sense of unity through “ダナン カジノ-creation” involving all NYK Group ダナン カジノmpanies. I want the Group Management Promotion Group of the Management Planning Headquarters, the Technical Headquarters, and each of the business divisions to listen to the voices of the jurisdictional group ダナン カジノmpanies, solve problems, and reach our goals together. I want everyone in each group ダナン カジノmpany to voice their opinions without hesitation.

These are my greetings on the anniversary of the ダナン カジノK Group’s founding.
