Ships that transport crude oil and other types of cargo around the world are more than 300 yards long and always an impressive sight. Accurately designing and assembling these maritime vessels is an even more impressive accomplishment. Few companies know this better than Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., which has been developing, building, remodeling and repairing tankers and freight carriers for 100 years.
Based in Fukuyama, Japan, the company has branch offices in Tokyo and Fukuoka, Japan, and shipbuilding dockyards in Tsuneishi, Japan; Balamban, Phillipines; and Zhoushan Islands, China. The company established its Philippine dockyard in 1994 and Chinese dockyard in 2009 to take advantage of those countries’ cost-effective manufacturing facilities and workers.
