The 77th Waseda-Keio Soccer Match – “Waseda-Keio Clasico,” for which Doun Kisen Co., Ltd. served as the Top Partner, was held at the National Stadium on August 11, 2026.

The long-standing Waseda-Keio soccer rivalry brought together more than 10,000 spectators at the National Stadium, where the two teams competed in an exciting and hard-fought match.

The event also attracted significant attention, with Japan national team head coach Hajime Moriyasu among those in attendance.

We were deeply inspired by the players’ determination to give their all until the final whistle and by the passion and excitement that filled the stadium.

Going forward, we will continue to value opportunities to connect with students and other members of the next generation, while expanding opportunities to share the appeal of the maritime industry and the diverse career opportunities it offers.

As tensions in the Strait of Hormuz rise due to the U.S.-Iran conflict, our vessel, PACIFIC ANNA, has successfully completed the transport and discharge of crude oil at a refinery in Shikoku.

To mitigate risks associated with the Strait of Hormuz, the cargo was originally loaded at the Port of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea coast. It was subsequently transferred to our vessel via Ship-to-Ship (STS) transfer operations off the coast of Malaysia before being delivered to Japan.

We believe that the successful completion of this operation—maintaining safe navigation and ensuring reliable maritime transport even amidst unstable international conditions—is a testament to our social responsibility and our mission as a shipowner to support Japan's energy infrastructure behind the scenes.

As a shipowner dedicated to the essential task of securing a stable energy supply both domestically and internationally, we remain committed to conducting our business operations with unwavering reliability and integrity.
