Historique
One of the oldest and largest shipping companies in the world. By the 1920s the company was operating regular passenger and cargo ship services linking Japan and Vancouver and Seattle, Southeast Asia, the Indies, and Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Now known widely as NYK. After losing all but one of its vessels in WWII, NYK re-emerged and now operates worldwide.
