Nippon Yusen and Gilia Form Strategic Alliance

Gillia, which serves as an outside auditor, has entered into a capital and business alliance with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, a pioneer and industry leader in the shipping sector.

I hope this will contribute to the development of the shipping industry both in Japan and abroad (*^^*)

In recent years, the global shipping industry has seen growing demand not only for technological innovations—such as development and design capabilities in areas like digital engineering and digital twins, the establishment of autonomous navigation systems, and the utilization of new energy sources with a view toward decarbonization—but also for measures to ensure safety and peace of mind during operations.

Against this backdrop, Nippon Yusen has made a group-wide effort to strengthen its capabilities in technological fields related to next-generation vessels.Gillia, for its part, has honed its broad and deep technical capabilities—ranging from deep reinforcement learning and image/natural language processing to AI development for edge devices—through the commercialization of numerous products and services. Since its founding, the company has worked to expand the societal implementation of AI by providing a wide range of AI solutions to customers across diverse industries, thereby driving profit growth and operational reform.

As we enter an era of technology development driven by open collaboration, the two companies have entered into a capital and business alliance agreement to establish a strategic partnership.

Through this partnership, the two companies will work together to implement AI technology at NYK, with the goal of leading the global shipping industry—not only in Japan but worldwide—by creating and utilizing advanced and practical AI services, thereby contributing to the further development of the shipping industry as a whole.
