Kumiai Navigation was one of the few early Japanese shipping companies to establish a presence in Singapore. The subsidiary of Kumiai Senpaku has witnessed the transformation of the Lion city from a container port into a first-class shipping hub.
Speaking to TradeWinds, Kumiai Navigation managing director Tomomaru Kuroyanagi, who is primarily involved with the company’s Singapore start-up, acknowledges the government’s relentless effort in marketing the country as a maritime centre, based on the nation’s infrastructure, strategic waterway location and financial incentives.
