Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20+ years. This is who we are.
On October 31, Kyokuyo Shipyard signed a contract with Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. for construction of a company dormitory for single employees (note : builder is Daiwa. Not Kyokuyo). The dorm is scheduled to be built by March 2014 in Chofu area, Simonoseki, next to the existing Saikawa Ryo which is now mainly used as trainees' apartment house.
Kyokuyo announced today that Shusaku Yamada, Managing Director, will concentrate on taking the lead in its material purchasing operations, effective September 1, 2013. The company's president Katsuhiko Ochi will directly take charge of Kyokuyo's newbuilding and repair sales operations, responsibilities of which were previously assumed by Shusaku Yamada.
I guess all of you know what's on the 2nd floor. So now let's go upstairs!
Nearly one year has passed since we started to work in our new building. Now I feel myself sufficiently acquainted with the Kyokuyo's "mother ship" to make a sketch for you!
Kyokuyo annually holds a basic emergency training for new associates and trainees from overseas, in collaboration with Shimonoseki East Fire Station.
Dear customers, business partners, friends and readers, I want to extend my best wishes to you and your family for a healthy and Happy New Year.
On November 27, 2012, a unique workshop was held at Kyokuyo Shipyard by Japan Coastal Shipping Association (JCSA), which comprises Japan's 26 major coastal ship operators.
On November 8, 2012, Kyokuyo Shipyard conducted a bi-annual fire drill in coorperation with Shimonoseki-East fire station.
Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation and its subsidiary Shosen Co., Ltd., are members of a local cooperative business association called "Shimonoseki Zosen Kanren Jigyo Kyodo Kumiai" (Shimonoseki Shipbuilding-related Business Association). One of its main activities since 2004 is the organization of an international trainee program.
On July 1, 2012, we welcomed Matthew Sizemore to fill the role of English teacher at Kyokuyo. Matt, 27, a California-native, will also take care of other English-related services like translation, interpretation and proofreading.
Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation has announced that former director and head of corporate strategy office Shusaku Yamada will be promoted to managing director of the company after its shareholders' meeting scheduled on June 28, 2012. Here goes a short message from Shusaku.
Kyokuyo's long-awaited new office building has now been completed after 9 months of construction works. With the delivery done on July 10, our business operation in the new building started on Tuesday July 17, 2012.
Since April is the first month of a fiscal year, there were some changes in Kyokuyo, too.
Let us introduce Norihiko Harada, our new Corporate Officer and General Manager of Material Purchasing Division. Norihiko joined Kyokuyo last November from a trading company, where he was in charge of sales of steel products to shipbuilders(!).
Are you curious about what is going on with our new (office) building project, as reported in the news142? Yes, it is running as scheduled, with the old building completely demolished and bulldozed now. As everything is ready for construction works, we had the keel laying, err, ground breaking ceremony on January 20.
On this first day of the year, I would like to say some words about Kyokuyo's 2011 and 2012.
Now that more than 40 years have passed since Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation moved from Shimonoseki's Hikoshima island to Chofu area - its current place, we have decided to demolish and rebuild our main office building.
Eight years passed since we established with other shipbuilding-related companies a cooperative which, besides operating group purchasing, runs an international training program.
