The Japanese shipping industry has built up an extensive fleet of ships through proactive investment in LNG carriers for the transportation of LNG (liquefied natural gas), which has become the focus of oil-alternative energy in recent years. The industry also continues to support large-scale transportation of not only energy materials like oil that it has always dealt with, but also of commodities like grains and timber that are continually expanding. Also, the industry is today subject to more rigorous requirements for safety management and global environmental preservation than ever before.

Nippon Gas Line commenced operation of the state-of-the-art Izumi Maru No. 7 (G/T995) in 1995 to service the domestic LPG shipping industry into the future. In 2002, the Company’s entire fleet earned ISM Code certification, and Nippon Gas Line established a world-class safety management system.
As the Japanese shipping industry continues to undergo modernization, shipping, as the single-handed means of providing large-scale distribution on a global scale, is in need of even safer and more sophisticated technology.
Nippon Gas Line’s domestic vessels transport over two million tons of LPG annually. Nippon Gas Line is the only domestic operator specializing in LPG, and we are expanding our ocean-going transportation business areas, including product, asphalt, LPG and petrochemical gases tankers. Nippon Gas Line will continue to move forward alongside the further development of Japanese shipping.
