ClassNK Establishes First Ever Subsidiary – ClassNK Consulting Service Co., Ltd.

 ClassNK officially announced today the establishment of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, ClassNK Consulting Service Co., Ltd., located in Tokyo. This new company, ClassNK’s first ever subsidiary, heralds a new chapter in the long history of the Society.
This exciting development was made possible by the Society’s change in legal status to a general incorporated foundation under Japanese law on 1 April 2011, and promises much in terms of cultivating new areas of growth. This subsidiary in particular will allow ClassNK to broaden its activities in the field of maritime consulting (see “Subsidiary Overview” below).
Speaking on this momentous occasion ClassNK Chairman and President, Mr. N. Ueda, said: “We firmly believe in developing new ways to advance the global maritime industry. This new subsidiary allows us to do just that by opening up new possibilities for ClassNK, possibilities to provide customers with a new range of services at the same high quality they associate with ClassNK”.
