As part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, TZS initiated and sponsored “TSUNEISHI CUP” Marathon in 2015. This year is the third time. At the opening ceremony of “2017 TSUNEISHI CUP” Marathon, President Okumura said, “2017 is a significant year when TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING celebrates its 100th anniversary. It is our responsibility to develop and grow together with local community. I am very glad that so many people are competing in “2017 TSUNEISHI CUP” Marathon. I hope that “TSUNEISHI CUP” will continue for one hundred or more years. Please enjoy running and try best to finish the whole race.”

There are three race courses, 5 kilometers for interest running, 12 kilometers for health running, and 16 kilometers for cross-country running. The participants can select one of the three which is fit for their running competency. Moreover, there were about 70 TZS staff members who worked as volunteers to back up “2017 TSUNEISHI CUP” to be held successfully.

In the natural scenery of lush green meadows, beautiful mountain, and blue sea, encouraged by the participation of the former Olympic Chinese representative, all of the participants did their best to complete the race. It was really a good opportunity to enhance the vitality of the local community, and promote the solidarity among TZS staff members.

As one of the strategies of the TSUNEISHI’s development, growing together with the communities, TZS would like to continuously make a contribution to the realization of the community in which people live happily and wealthily.

This BIPV system replaces the factory roof, using solar panels made of tempered glass that are strong and durable yet lightweight. Over 72,000 solar panels with an estimated 25-year lifetime output of 418 million kWh have been installed. This is the largest distributed photovoltaic system in Zhoushan City and the largest BIPV system in the world.

The project was brought to fruition in partnership with clean energy solutions developer Asia Clean Capital Ltd. (ACC), the long-term owner of the solar system which is responsible for its design, construction, and running maintenance. Generated electricity will be supplied mainly to the TSUNEISHI GROUP (ZHOUSHAN) SHIPBUILDING factory and office, and surplus power will be sent to transmission networks. This is expected to lower electricity expenses and lower factory management costs sustainably.

A ceremony was held on 3rd August at the Zhoushan factory to mark the completion and launch of the system. Okumura said: “I am delighted that the large-scale photovoltaic project has been safely completed after a year of work. The TSUNEISHI Group, with a history of over 100 years, has positioned shipbuilding as its core business. As one of its overseas bases, the TSUNEISHI Zhoushan factory has proclaimed sustainable growth as its goal and is working assiduously to flourish over the next century. We can aim for this goal only if we have the support of local government, residents, and partner companies. In our spirit of seeking to grow together with the local community, which is part of the TSUNEISHI Group’s DNA, we will responsibly address protection of the environment and contribute to the region through our ongoing growth.”

MIIT first announced it would create a white list in November 2013 to further enhance ship industry management, resolve excessive manufacturing capacity issues, improve technology capabilities, expedite structure adjustment, promote structural shifts and development, and ensure the sustainable, sound growth of the maritime industry. This system mainly regulates manufacturing and management of companies.

TSUNEISHI GROUP (ZHOUSHAN) SHIPBUILDING has been actively working since 2014 to complete the requirements, which included implementing an occupational health & safety management system (OHSAS 18001) and an environmental management system (ISO14001). Inclusion in on the white list means that TSUNEISHI GROUP (ZHOUSHAN) SHIPBUILDING’s factory have been widely recognised by society in the areas of manufacturing facilities, equipment quality and inspection, shipbuilding technologies and capabilities, energy conservation and environmental-friendliness, among other criteria. It will also improve recognition in the shipbuilding industry and Chinese society and increase our business opportunities because other industries, such as banking, will recognise us. As a result, we have better secured our foundation in China.

Seventy-seven companies have been certified since the first edition of the white list was announced in September 2014. Seven shipyards have been removed in subsequent screenings, bringing the number of listed yards to 70. As a member of the white list, TSUNEISHI GROUP (ZHOUSHAN) SHIPBUILDING has strengthened our foothold and we will continue our efforts to achieve higher, and more sustainable growth.
