Plant Project

From Conventional Large-Scale Project Development to Future Energy Initiatives

In the plant project field, we bring to bear the collective strengths of a trading company, including information gathering and development capabilities obtained through involvement in international projects over many years. Our expertise, including Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services, finance structuring capacity, investment and coordinating functions among stakeholders, contributes to the successful realization of projects in the field of oil, gas and petrochemicals; power generation and transmission; and social and transportation infrastructure such as railways, roads, and bridges. In recent years, moreover, we have been expanding our business field into water and environmental related projects, which include seawater desalination facilities and power generation from geothermal sources, wind, biomass, or waste.
We not only undertake EPC initiatives, which we advance in collaboration with heavy industry, heavy electric machinery, and engineering companies, but also undertake project financing, project investment, M&A, and operation and maintenance for projects.

Electric Power

We are involved in various aspects of power generation projects. We are not only involved in construction and refurbishment projects for all types of power plants worldwide, but also undertake Independent Power Producer (IPP) businesses by investing in and operating new and existing power stations and operation and maintenance businesses.

We are also developing and investing in power generation that utilizes renewable energies, such as geothermal, wind power, biomass, and Energy from Waste (EfW). Our Gainesville biomass power generation project in North America will be one of the largest biomass power generation facilities in the region and Shepherds Flat wind power generation will be the largest single wind power project in the world.

Oil, Gas and petrochemical plants

Focusing on oil-producing countries and emerging countries around the world, we pursue projects relating to oil and gas development and production, refineries, liquefied natural gas, and the petrochemical industry. We realize a wide variety of projects as a project developer by bringing to bear comprehensive capabilities and performing diverse functions, which mainly range from project identification/formation, EPC, financing structuring, coordination of raw materials supply and off-taking of final products, structuring international consortia, and project investment.

Water Resources

Boasting an impressive track record for supplying and repairing sea water desalination plants mainly in the Gulf region, we invest in Group companies that offer a wide range of services as providers of total solutions for sea water desalination projects in Saudi Arabia.

As a priority area among our water resources related businesses, we will pursue IWSPP/IWPP projects (enterprises that construct, operate, and maintain power and desalination plants and provide a long-term supply of the power, steam, and water that is produced) in the Middle East, Australia, and other markets. In 2009, we decided to participate in Australia’s largest desalination project, which is proceeding with construction with a view to starting up operations in 2012.

Transportation and Infrastructure

In order to cater to demand centered on emerging countries for social infrastructure, such as railways, roads, bridges, and airport facilities, we are promoting projects through alliances with Japanese and overseas manufacturers.

In China, we have received orders for linear subway cars for the Guangzhou Metro.

Marine

Supporting Shipping not only in Japan but around the World

Accounting for approximately 30% of shipbuilding worldwide, Japan’s shipbuilding industry plays a leading role in the international market. With this as a backdrop, we fully realize our functions as a trading company, which enables us to provide comprehensive high-value-added solutions such as brokering new and secondhand vessels, providing ship financing and undertaking ship ownership and chartering. Accordingly, we have established a remarkable track record for providing services to shipping lines around the world, including North America, Europe, Asia, Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East. Recently, we have been extending the scope of our transaction activities beyond shipyards in Japan to include shipyards in Korea and China. We are also actively engaged in transportation projects for LNG and LPG, which are attracting attention as clean energies.

In collaboration with a prominent group of maritime companies (shipping lines, publishers, trading companies etc.) in Japan and Asia, we established MarineNet Co., Ltd. This company operates Marine Net, the first portal site for the shipping and shipbuilding industries in Japan, and provides maritime companies with consulting services that include the distribution of shipping and shipbuilding related information and ship valuation.
