On December 21, the NYK Group's Hokuyo Kaiun Co. Ltd. (Hokuyo Kaiun) received ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications from ClassNK for the safety management system (SMS) of its crew transport vessel (CTV)* for the offshore wind industry.
 
On December 26, a ceremony to award a certificate of registration was held in Tokyo and attended by Katsuya Nakano, president of Hokuyo Kaiun; Capt. Hisaya Higuchi, managing executive officer at NYK; and Tsutomu Yokoyama, executive officer at NYK.

The certification was obtained by combining the experience of Hokuyo Kaiun, which operates and manages the CTV Rera As for the Ishikari Bay New Port offshore wind farm in Hokkaido Prefecture, with the knowledge of NYK, which obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification for its activities to promote the safe operation of its CTV in August. This certification will enable Hokuyo Kaiun, which mainly operates towing vessels in Japan, to operate and manage CTVs using an SMS compliant with international standards, thereby ensuring an even higher level of safety in vessel operations.
 
Comments from representatives
 
Katsuya Nakano, President of Hokuyo Kaiun
With the cooperation of all parties concerned, we were able to obtain ISO 9001 and 45001 certifications for our CTV ship-management operations. We are proud to participate as a member of the NYK Group in the offshore wind industry, which is an extremely important social issue that is aimed at decarbonization. We will continue to contribute to the stable operation of power generation projects by safely and efficiently transporting workers responsible for the maintenance and management of power generation facilities.
 
Capt. Hisaya Higuchi, Managing Executive Officer at NYK
We are pleased to have been of assistance in obtaining this certification. The NYK Group emphasizes safety in all aspects of ESG management, including safe ship operations and employee safety, and this certification is a testament to our commitment. We will continue our efforts to further improve the quality of our vessels and ensure an even higher level of occupational health and safety for our crew members.

In March 2023, NYK formulated a new four-year medium-term management plan, “Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 - A Passion for Planetary Wellbeing.” This new plan is positioned as an action plan to achieve a new corporate vision for 2030, which reads as follows: “We go beyond the scope of a comprehensive global logistics enterprise to co-create value required for the future by advancing our core business and growing new ones.”  
 
Under the leadership of NYK President Takaya Soga, who was newly appointed in April, we have worked to implement the four basic policies of our management strategy in the first year of this medium-term management plan: “Make ESG core to the plan,” “Execute an active investment strategy to expand the business in growth areas,” “Accelerate decarbonization efforts based on the plan to achieve net zero by 2050,” and “Further enrich human capital and corporate infrastructure.”  
 
Specifically, we are developing decarbonization initiatives that lead the shipping industry: the further introduction of LNG-fueled vessels, the completion of crew transport vessels for offshore wind farms, measures to establish an ammonia supply chain, and progress in liquefied CO2 transport technologies.  
 
Furthermore, we set a new GHG reduction target in the “NYK Group ESG Story 2023,” which was announced in November.  
 
Regarding our DX initiatives, NYK was selected as a “2023 DX Grand Prix company" in recognition of implementing the “ABCDE-X,” formulated as a business strategy to realize its medium-term management plan. We also promote DX with external partners through collaboration in R&D areas, such as developing technology for autonomous vessels and avoidance navigation and systematizing tugboat attendance management and allowance calculation.  
 
In 2024, the NYK Group will continue to work as one to steadily implement its medium-term management plan and achieve sustainable increases in corporate value.
