Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, commonly known as NYK Line, is a Japanese transportation and logistics company headquartered in Tokyo. Founded in 1885, the company developed from Japan’s early modern shipping industry and has grown into an international provider of marine transportation and supply-chain services.
NYK’s businesses include the transportation of automobiles, dry bulk commodities, energy products, and other cargo. The company operates car carriers, bulk vessels, tankers, and liquefied natural gas carriers, while also participating in container shipping through its investment in Ocean Network Express, a joint venture with other major Japanese shipping companies.
In addition to ocean transportation, NYK provides logistics, warehousing, freight forwarding, air cargo, terminal operations, and other supply-chain services. Its activities support customers across Asia, the Americas, Europe, and other international markets, serving industries such as automotive, energy, manufacturing, and commodities.
