The 29th Reportage: Japanese Shipowners 第29回ルポルタージュ・日本船主

Japanese Shipowners See Corporate Values Surge as Vessel Prices Soar
日本船主、船価高騰で企業価値急騰
On June 24, this reporter sat down with the president of a Japanese shipowning company based in the Shikoku region. The president let out a sigh.
”We recognise that business succession has long been an issue for Japanese shipowners. However, attempting to proceed with succession at this stage means the company’s value has become exceptionally high because the value of the vessels we own has risen sharply.”
Japanese shipowners are undergoing a rapid generational transition. The trend coincides with the retirement of Japan’s baby-boomer generation.
