Business
Nagasaki Port is the oldest port in Japan. It played a major role as the only point of contact with foreign countries in Japan, which had been under isolation since 1571 A.D.
We, Sawayama & co.,ltd, as the oldest shipping agency in Nagasaki Port, have been gaining the trust of customers not only in Japan but also overseas for more than 130 years since the Meiji era (1885 AD). In particular, we have had a century-long relationship with MOL, one of Japan’s leading shipping lines.
Now, there are a wide variety of types of ships entering Nagasaki Port. The vessels we handle range from foreign passenger ships of more than 160,000 tons to domestic fishing vessels of less than 50 tons. In addition, there are many shipyards, and we have a lot of experience in assisting with meetings between shipping companies and shipbuilders from ship construction to delivery, and attending to seafarers.
As mentioned above, there are many shipyards including Mitsubishi Shipbuilding in Nagasaki Port, so there are not only maintenance, repair, and resupply of ships, but also multiple inspection companies such as UWI and AGM,
If you have any problems choosing a port in East Asia, please do not hesitate to contact us. As for ship classes, many ship classes can be supported such as NK & Lroyds and etc.
The vessels we handle are not only those entering the aforementioned Nagasaki Port, but also include offshore workboats working on the sea around Japan, including E EZ. Currently, offshore wind power projects are bustling around Japan, and many support vessels (CTVs, etc.) involved in them are entering Japanese ports. Many offshore windmills have been installed here near Nagasaki Port, and we plan to increase them further in the future.
For many vessels related to offshore work, we will support the procedures for ship supplies that involve import and export required by operators, owners, and seafarers, as well as the replacement of seafarers at airports and ports throughout Japan by utilizing our abundant experience over many years.
In particular, with regard to the change of crew members, if there is a request from the client, it is possible to reduce the number of contact opportunities in the city and reduce the risk of infectious diseases by using a chartered buses instead of a public institution for transportation from the port of entry to the port where the ship is embarked. Taking airport where the seafarer enters to board the vessel, so please come with peace of mind.
Not only seafarers but also engineers, please leave everything to our staff who are familiar with immigration control work, such as reliable support in Japan from entry to departure, such as arranging hotels and taxis, attending to hospitals, etc.
Transit’s ship supplies can also be exported and loaded in the state of foreign cargo without carrying out import and export procedures, so that there is no obligation to pay consumption tax and duties.
Our company also has customs specialists who are professionals in import and export operations, so quick procedures are possible.
In addition, all of our staff speak English and are able to provide a stable service to everyone. We also have female staff, so please leave it with confidence even if there is a pick-up and drop-off of female seafarers at night.
We have watched over the Port of Nagasaki for more than a century as a port diplomat, not just an agent. As a diplomat who will lead the next century in the port, I will work even harder than ever, so I would like to ask for your continued support in the future.
We wish you all the best for the development and happiness of your business.
