History
The history of NYK has paralleled that of Japan, a maritime nation, ever since 夢 洲 カジノ founding in 1885.
Let's look back on NYK's 130-plus years, from 1885 to the present.
1885~
Born of the merger of Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Company 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 companies from which NYK arose.
