On November 15, NYK Shipmanagement Pte Ltd (NYKSM) held a ceremony at the Swissotel the Stamford, Singapore to celebrate its 21st anniversary. NYKSM’s 20th anniversary fell on October 1, 2021, but due to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a ceremony was not held.
The Ceremony was attended by about 100 guests, including the Japanese ambassador to Singapore H.E. Hiroshi Ishikawa, Panamanian ambassador to Singapore H.E. Luis Alberto Melo, officials from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Singapore government / maritime-related parties, and business partners.
In the Ceremony, NYKSM Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, Anubhav Garg offered his appreciation to Singapore maritime-related parties for their support, especially during the pandemic, when the company faced many challenges to keep the vessel in operation. He also expressed his appreciation to the parent company, NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA (NYK), and the employees of NYKSM.
NYKSM was established in 2001 in Singapore by integrating three NYK Group ship-management companies. Since then, the company has grown to nearly 300 staff, not only in Singapore, but also in India, Croatia, Romania, the Philippines, and Malaysia. While positioning Singapore as an important base for technical management of vessels, a branch office was opened in Manila, Philippines (May 2012) and in Gurugram, India (July 2022) to decentralize management bases. NYKSM is currently managing ships using new technologies, such as LNG-fueled ships, methanol-fueled ships, and LPG-fueled ships, and is working to achieve NYK Group goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 for oceangoing businesses.
