Our company has launched a new brand, "HULL NUMBER ZERO" (HNZ), which integrates the technical solutions of our group. The newly established marine business group in April 23 will take the lead and provide solutions utilizing the technical expertise cultivated within our group for challenges at all stages of ships, including design, construction, operation, and maintenance.

The marine transportation industry is currently entering a once-in-a-century transformation period where DX (Digital Transformation) and EX (Energy Transformation) are rapidly progressing, making it an important challenge for companies to adapt to evolving technologies. Through HNZ, we have formulated a strategy with the desire to leverage our group's technological capabilities more than ever before to solve the challenges faced by stakeholders and contribute to the revitalization of the maritime cluster.

HNZ means the non-existent 'Zero Ship,' symbolizing the foundation that precedes the number 1, creating new value that does not exist here. It represents the creation of new value based on the technological expertise accumulated by our predecessors, embodying our desired image of 'going beyond the framework of a comprehensive logistics company, co-creating the necessary value for the future through the evolution of core businesses and the growth of new businesses,' and serving as a brand that supports this vision.

In the medium-term management plan announced by our group in March 2023, titled 'Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 - A Passion for Planetary Wellbeing -,' we position the enhancement of core business and the development of new businesses as twin pillars of our core strategy. We are driving the commercialization of ship-related technologies by positioning the vessels that support the core business of marine shipping not only as a 'means of transportation for goods' but also as a 'purposeful vessel,' and we will further accelerate this through HNZ.
