NYK Group starts “More than Shipping 2013“-offensive

Japanese NYK Group plans investments at the amount of USD 21.2 billion and 50 per cent increase in container transport volume

 

The NYK Group (Tokyo) announced its new medium-term strategy at the end of March. The “More Than Shipping 2013”-management plan will run three years. It is also the starting signal for the renewed NYK group logo, symbolising the reorientation of the enterprise.

The new strategy is aimed to combine traditional shipping with value added services and generate sustainable growth. In this frame there are investments planned at the amount of USD 21.2 billion. NYK selected the expanding Asian industrial region and the liquid gas (LNG) and deep water oil extraction segments as the growth drivers.

NYK wants to increase the container transport volume from currently four million to six million TEU. At the same time revenues shall increase from USD 22.7 billion in the financial year 2010/2011 to USD 27 billion in 2012/2013. The number of vessels in the fleet shall increase to 920 units in 2013, and to 960 units before 2016, respectively.

In the frame of the new management plan the so far autonomously acting enterprises NYK Logistics and Yusen Air & Sea Service (YAS) will be merged into Yusen Logistics, which will act as a new, strongly performing logistics service provider in the market. “In addition to the comprehensive sea and air freight services, integrating Yusen Logistics will make available warehousing, distribution logistics and supply chain management solutions in the form of customer individual service concepts from one source“, the NYK Group announces in a press release.
