Maritime Division

Partners across Asia.
Accountability in Japan.

Crew manning, ship supply and repair arrangement, and vessel S&P support — delivered through licensed partners in Myanmar and the Philippines, coordinated from Japan, in Japanese, by a former marine engineer.

The Problem

Sourcing from Asia is easy to start.
It is hard to keep accountable.

When a certificate needs checking. When a joining date slips. When a delivery misses the port call. What you need at that moment is a contact who answers in Japanese, understands the vessel, and takes responsibility for the outcome — not an overseas e-mail address.

ABK Co., Ltd. is a registered corporation based in Japan. We introduce only partners whose licences and track record we have verified ourselves — and we remain your Japan-side contact after the contract is signed.

Service Areas

Three services. One Japan-side contact.

We are not a listing service. We select the best-fit provider from a small number of licensed partners we have vetted ourselves, and we stay accountable for the introduction afterwards.

I

Crew Manning Introduction

As the Japan-side contact for a Myanmar government-licensed manning company, we introduce screened officers and ratings — with trilingual interview attendance (Japanese / English / Burmese) and joining, relief, and labour coordination handled from Japan.

II

Ship Supply & Repair Introduction

We introduce ship chandlers and repair providers across 15+ Asian ports, matched to your port call schedule. Our supply partner holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, PPA (Philippine Ports Authority) accreditation, ShipServ registration (ID 311757), and works with major shipyards. From quotation through on-site coordination.

III

Vessel Sale & Purchase Support

Working with partner brokers in Asia, we support second-hand vessel S&P transactions under strict confidentiality — from requirement confirmation to documentation.

Why ABK

Introductions from someone who has done the job.

ABK is run by a former marine engineer with seagoing experience, based in Japan, working in Japanese, English, and Burmese. It means we can read a seafarer's certificate and know what it means, hear a superintendent's technical constraint and understand it without explanation, and tell you honestly when a requirement is not one we should take on.
