Japanese shipowner NYK partners with Akita Eisen in a joint venture for maintenance and management of crew transport vessels.

The joint venture Japan Offshore Support (JOS) between the two firms was set-up in December 2024.
JOS will be mainly responsible for the maintenance and management of crew transfer vessels (CTV) for offshore wind power generation in Akita prefecture Japan. It will also recruit and train seafarers form the local area.
“By leveraging the experience of operating ships at Ishikari Bay New Port in the offshore shipping and offshore wind power businesses, the knowledge gained from Northern Offshore Services (a collaborative partner for CTVs), and the foundation and know-how of Akita Eisen KK as a local company, we will provide safe, efficient, high-quality services on an ongoing basis and contribute to the stable supply of electricity from offshore wind power generation in Japan,” NYK said.
NYK signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Akita Prefecture in 2022 and work under this includes renewable energy projects and the development of local talent.
