HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Yoshioka in order to make most of his previous experience and networks in the subject line of business, and later in 1996 when the firm became the Mitsui OSK Lines group firm, succeeded by the present executives.  This is a chemical parcel tanker operator ranked top in Japan and reportedly 4th in the world in this specific line of business.  Specializes in transport of liquid chemicals, vegetable oils, fats, and other chemical products.  Operates a total 51 chemical parcel tankers of 818,000 DWT, owned & chartered-in of approx 5,000 to 25,000 DWT, all IMO II & III certified, with segregation of 13 to 31 tanks.  Out of the 51 tankers 44 ships are equipped with stainless steel cargo tanks.  Services composed of: Pacific Ocean route, European route via Suez Canal, Arabian Gulf-Asia route, Asian short sea trade route and worldwide tramping.  In 1999, took over commercial activities of Tokyo Chemical Tanker Co Ltd, a short-sea chemical tanker operator, Tokyo.  By this takeover the firm expanded trading route to short-sea transport.  Has 6 overseas offices: London, Singapore, Vancouver, Shanghai, Seoul, Pusan.  Major clients are general trading houses.

 

           

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The revenues for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 38,544 million, a 32.8% up from Yen 29,029 million in the previous term.  This is thanks to the robust demand for chemicals/ vegetable oils/fats particularly in China and other Asian countries.  Hike in ocean freight rates also contributed.  The recurring profit rose to Yen 1,984 million from Yen 1,235 million, and the net profit to Yen 1,153 million from Yen 728million, respectively, from the previous term.  The growth served to offset skyrocketing fuel oil costs and other operational expenses.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 2,000 million and net profit at Yen 1,200 million, respectively, on a 17% rise in turnover, to Yen 45,000 million.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 2,045.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.
