As Tomini Group marks its 75th anniver\u00adsary, the Dubai-based shipowner is reaf\u00adfirming its commitment to long-term part\u00adnerships, including its growing collaboration with Japan.

CEO Numair Shaikh said that while Tomi\u00adni\u2019s work with Japanese shipowners is rela\u00adtively new, Japan\u2019s maritime sector has long been a global benchmark for quality, reliabil\u00adity and professionalism. He added that the trust shown by Japanese partners through recent long-term charters and newbuilding projects supports the values that have shaped Tomini since its founding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major step forward in this relationship is the recent delivery of the Tomini Sakura, a 42,401-deadweight-ton \u201chandymax\u201d built by Oshima Shipbuilding. The vessel marks Tomini\u2019s first project with Daido Kaiun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe delivery of Tomini Sakura, the 42,401-DWT handymax built by Oshima Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., marks more than a fleet addition \u2014 it is the beginning of a partnership built on mutual trust, and we are honored to begin this journey with Daido Kaiun. Our commit\u00adment is simple \u2014 we will care for this vessel as if she were our own and uphold the high\u00adest standards throughout the five-year peri\u00adod,\u201d Shaikh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomini has also gained global recogni\u00adtion in recent years. The company received the Bulk Shipping Company of the Year award from The Maritime Standard in both 2024 and 2025, along with honors from the Internation\u00adal Bulk Journal. Shaikh said these achieve\u00adments reflect disciplined investment, strong operations and a clear commitment to sus\u00adtainability, including digitalization and con\u00adtinuous fleet renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our collaboration with Japanese owners is an important part of this future, and we look forward to strengthening it in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>Numair Shaikh<\/strong>, CEO of the Tomini Group<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Tomini expects its work with Japanese shipowners to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we expand our modern fleet and deep\u00aden our global partnerships, our commitment remains unchanged: to operate with integri\u00adty, deliver consistently and build relationships that endure. Our collaboration with Japanese owners is an important part of this future, and we look forward to strengthening it in the years ahead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
