HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of bunker sales division separated from Mitsubishi Corp (see REGISTRATION for details) as MC Marine & Bunkering Inc, for supply of bunker fuels to ships.  In Mar 2002 renamed as captioned to handle additionally marine lubricants and related products.  In Apr 2003, started to handle specialty lubricants and operation of crude & crude oil products consigned from the parent, Mitsubishi Corp.  Bunker sales amount to about 3.5 million tons (annually) at worldwide ports.  In the marine lubricants, controls about 10% of total bunker sales to Japanese-owned/controlled ships.  Bunkering services cover all major Japan ports (31 ports) and worldwide ports in Europe, Mid East, Africa, N & S America, Taiwan, Singapore, other Asia & Oceania areas.  The firm is one of 121 subsidiaries under the Energy Division at the parent, the total consolidated sales of the Division accounting for 24% of the total group sales. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm does not disclose full financials as they are consolidated in the parent’s financials.  Only the following partial figures are available. 

           

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term for irregular 3 months amounted to Yen 18,600 million, up 16% as adjusted on a 12-month basis from Yen 64,108 million in the previous term ending Dec/2005.  Hike of oil prices contributed to boost sales.  The net profit was posted at Yen 82 million, compared with 158 million for a full year the previous term. 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 160 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 78,000 million.  The hike in crude oil will raise the sales amount in Yen terms.  The firm targets sales of 30,000 KL of marine lubricants to more than 200 vessels worldwide this year.
