History
The history of NYK has paralleled that of Japan, a maritime nation, ever since the 夢 洲 カジノmpany's founding in 1885.
Let's look back on 夢 洲 カジノK's 130-plus years, from 1885 to the present.
1885~
Born of the merger of Mitsubishi Mail Steamship 夢 洲 カジノmpany and Kyodo Unyu Kaisha, NYK resultantly expanded its business from the seas of Asia to the oceans of the world under a nibikiflag featuring two thick red lines on a white background to symbolize the union of the two 夢 洲 カジノmpanies from which NYK arose.
