Shin Kurushima Sanoyas Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was formed when Shin Kurushima Dockyard acquired Sanoyas Shipbuilding. The shipbuilding division remains the
company’s principal line of business. The Mizushima Shipyard has extensive experience in building a wide range of vessel types.
In addition to shipbuilding, the company manufactures large-scale iron and steel structures, including LPG tanks. Production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are maximised at its facility, which was upgraded with the installation of new 800-ton cranes to streamline operations.

These facilities support all phases of repair, refitting, inspection, and ongoing maintenance for a variety of ship types.
Independent shipyard insight, future-ready newbuild guidance and expert advisory support to help you make confident new construction decisions from planning to delivery.
New construction decisions shape the performance, compliance and commercial value of a vessel for decades. Lloyd’s Register helps owners, operators, charterers and project teams make those decisions with greater clarity, combining trusted classification expertise with practical newbuild advisory support.
Through LR’s New Construction Guide, clients can access independent shipyard intelligence across North Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. The guide helps compare shipyard capabilities, facilities, track record, vessel specialisms and future-fuel readiness, supporting smarter shipyard selection and earlier project planning.
Beyond the guide, LR provides advisory support across the full newbuild lifecycle. From technical specification development and design review to regulatory impact assessments, alternative fuel studies, energy efficiency, carbon capture readiness, site support and operational preparation, LR helps clients reduce uncertainty before it becomes a cost, a delay, or a risk.
With global technical authority, local shipyard knowledge and deep maritime expertise, Lloyd’s Register supports future-ready vessels from the earliest concept through to construction and delivery, helping clients build with confidence in an increasingly complex market.
