Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (三井造船, Mitsui Zōsen) (TYO: 7003) is a Japanese company. It is listed on the Nikkei 225.[3] Mitsui E&S is one of the companies of the Mitsui Group.
History
Mitsui E&S was established in 1917 as the Shipbuilding Division of Mitsui & Co. with the first shipyard at Tamano.[4] In 1926 it began manufacturing diesel engines under a license agreement with Burmeister & Wain of Denmark.[5]
In 1937 the shipyards became a separate entity of Mitsui, Tama Shipyard. The company changed to Mitsui Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Ltd in 1942 and finally to the current name in 1973.
Mitsui E&S acquired Burmeister & Wain's engineering and construction business in 1990, and through this company acquired Burmeister's boiler business in 2017, which primarily caters to small and medium biomass power plants.[6]
Mitsui E&S split its naval and merchant shipbuilding businesses in 2021, selling the former (including the Tamano Shipyard) to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and selling a 49% stake in the latter to Tsuneishi Shipbuilding.[7] Tsuneishi took over a majority stake of the merchant shipbuilding business in 2022 as Mitsui E&S refocused its strategy on marine engines, port cranes, and other machinery.[8]
In 2022, Mitsui E&S agreed to purchase IHI's marine engine business,[8] and announced that it was in the process of developing ammonia-fueled marine engine technologies as a means of reducing CO2 emissions.[9]
Facilities
Mitsui E&S has works in Tamano, Ichikawa, and Oita, and business offices in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Oita, Hanoi, Jakarta, London, and Shanghai.[10]
