Working Steadily to Create Japan's Safest Shipping System The Japanese oil industry has in recent times seen steady market liberalization and globalization. In these changing times, the right corporate policies govern the very survival of an enterprise. To keep abreast of these changing trends, Asahi Tanker Co., Ltd. made a corporate decision to establish operational bases in Asia-Pacific region whilst conserving its internal reserves. In this present age, of paramount importance to us is improving the quality of our staff and hence the enterprise. Accident prevention is the benchmark by which the quality of a tanker company is judged. To achieve our goal of creating Japan's safest shipping system, we continue to strive tirelessly under my supervision as the Director of the Safety Division. In conducting our operations for close to half a century, we have always considered ourselves as sharing the fate of our customers. We sincerely wish to bequeath these achievements and ideas to the future generation. Concurrently however, we will strive to become an enterprise sharing the respect and trust of our respected customers. We sincerely do hope we can count on your warm support and encouragement in the future.

After the war, part of the external assets of the company were inherited in establishing this company in March 1951 in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Thereafter we become a member of the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. group by virtue of their capital investment in our company. With growing demand for petroleum products, we have continued to expand our operations up to the present time. Asahi Tanker's operational routes in Japan cover the entire coastal range from Hokkaido to Kyushu, thus catering to a large variety of shipping needs ranging from 200 to 5,000 kiloliters. Top shared bunker transporter company in Japan Starting in the 1950's, we engaged in the transportation of bonded bunker fuel for ocean going vessels. At present we hold 35% share of annual total requirement in Japan (Fiscal 1997 results; 2.1 million kl). Due to our outstanding performance over many years, we have established a solid position as a "top performer" in this field. Overseas Activities MR (Medium Range) An Expert in Oil Transportation by MR-size Tanker Asahi Tanker started its MR product tanker operation in 1975 with the shipment of fuel oil by the M/T Asahi Maru. In response to increasing oil demands and trade in Asia, we correspondingly increased our fleet, and presently possess 6 product tankers of which 3 are the double hull type conforming to international regulatory standards. From April 1998, we have commenced MR-sized Product Carriers pool with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines in order to offer more flexibility and comprehensive fielding with our trustworthy transit operation for increasing cargo movements to our customers requirements. Asahi Tanker has created an excellent system for cargo booking and safe transportation through optimum use of our overseas network offices in Seoul, Hong Kong and Singapore. SR (Small Range) A Pioneer in Shipment of Petroleum and Chemicals Asahi Tanker's SR tanker operation started in the Far East in 1962. The characteristics of the services provided are well recognized by our customers, a safe, fast and cost effective means of transportation. In December 1996 we established a joint-venture in Singapore with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. and Hai Sun Hup Co (Pte) Ltd., namely Asia PetroChem Shipping Pte Ltd. (APCS), which operates 4 new chemical tankers including a 8,500DWT IMO type 2&3 equipped with stainless steel cargo tanks. In view of the marked increase in the transportation of oils, chemicals, vegetable oils and animal oil in South East Asia and the Far East, Asahi Tanker will continuously endeavor to respond and meet its customer's diverse international requirements. Ship Management Reliable Management and Performance Asahi Tanker and its overseas corporation Solar Shipping and Trading S.A. have contracted for the ship-management of any kind of fleet operated in the world-wide. We supply experienced and reliable seafarers from Japan, Korea, Philippines, China and Taiwan. Our skilled technical staff have over 20 years experience, starting with the management of large and small bunker supply boats in Middle East and progressing on to manage VLCC, bulk carrier, product tanker and chemical tanker. More recently we have been engaged in supervising shipbuilding operations. Through our rich experience outstanding results have been achieved in all the above field.
