The Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 佐世保重工業株式会社, Hepburn: Sasebo Jūkōgyō), also simply known as the Sasebo Heavy Industries, is a company whose main business is heavy industry, based in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture. A wholly owned subsidiary of Namura Shipbuilding. Known as SSK. It is an acronym for Sasebo Ship Industry, which was the company name when it was first established.

Overview

It was established in 1946, by inheriting the land and equipment of the Sasebo Naval Arsenal of the former Imperial Japanese Navy.[1] The main industries are ships, the shipbuilding and remodeling of ships, and repairs,[1] but the new shipbuilding business was suspended only in January 2022.[2] It also handles maintenance and repair of vessels of the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Navy, which have a base in Sasebo City. In addition, it manufactures marine machinery, chemical industry machinery, and forgings (marine crankshafts, etc.).[1] In marine crankshafts, although it does not reach the top share of Kobe Steel, it is still one of the major manufacturers in Japan.[3] Shipbuilding factories and machine shops are located in the Tategami-cho area.

Of the equipment on the premises, the 250-ton crane on the 4th quay (commonly known as the Tategami quay) was brought from England in 1913 and is still in use today.[1] This crane was once used for the equipment work of the battleship Musashi. The 4th dock is the former 7th dock of the Sasebo Naval Arsenal, which was secretly excavated for the maintenance of the two Yamato-class battleships, but it was used only once by Musashi. This dock was first utilized immediately after the end of the war, and was dismantled after storing all three aircraft carriers, Hayataka, Ibuki, and Kasagi. Further down, in 1962, it was used to build the 130,000-ton tanker Nissho Maru III, which was ordered from Idemitsu Kosan.[4] The 2nd dock is provided as a shared facility for the US Navy and the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and cannot be used independently by SSK for commercial use.[1] In addition, many brick buildings from the Sasebo Naval Arsenal era still exist and are still used as factory facilities.[1]

On the other hand, the fact that there are many old facilities and many restrictions on the layout of the premises has led to inferior productivity and cost competitiveness compared to new shipyards in Japan and overseas, and improvement has always been an issue.[5] In addition, due to the outflow of human resources and delays in equipment renewal due to repeated rationalization, it will be difficult to meet the high-performance and high-quality requirements of vessels ordered by overseas shipowners in the latter half of the 2010s, resulting in a significant delay in delivery.[6]

Until 2010, there was also an iron structure department that manufactures bridges, etc., and the factory was located in the Hakudake area in the suburbs. However, due to the withdrawal from the steel structure business in the same year, the Shiratake factory was closed and dismantled, and the site was sold to Aeon Kyushu in 2012.[7] Currently, the former sites are AEON Sasebo Shiratake Shopping Center and Sanikleen Kyushu Sasebo Sales Office.[8]

Nishinihon Fluid Giken, a venture company, is a group of engineers spun out from the company, which became independent with only seven people from the castle town "Sasebo", became a novel.
