Message from the President

I would first like to share my gratitude to everyone for your continued patronage of the Japan Oil Transportation (JOT) Group.

Japan Oil Transportation (JOT) was founded in 1946 with the goal of transporting domestic crude oil. As economic and social circumstances have undergone drastic changes, we have developed transport services that unite rail transport and motor transport and allow us to carry cargo that is essential to the industries of our country and to our personal lives—not just petroleum products, but also goods such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), chemical products, perishable foods, and general freight. I am incredibly thankful for the ongoing support all of you have given JOT because it is this support that has allowed us to overcome many hardships and realize sustainable growth thus far.
In recent years, based on the diverse needs of our progressively global customers, we started the transport service in foreign countries. In addition, we execute medium-to-long term initiatives for transporting hydrogen, which is attracting attention as a next-generation automotive fuel.

The JOT Group provides high-quality services with safety as its highest priority under the Shift to the Next corporate motto: We fulfill our responsibility to the future with thorough safety and high-quality service to live up to the expectations of everyone as a trusted and chosen logistics partner of customers now and into the future. I kindly ask for your continued support.

Shoichiro Hara
President
