AMAKASU SANGYO KISEN K.K. (1)

Jordan records three ships, all bought in 1938 according to the cited Equasis evidence. Merchant Ships 1942 places one under Amakasu Sangyo Kisen and two under Amakasu Shoten Senpaku Kabusiki Kaisya; Miramar reverses those numbers. The last, Taian Maru, was sold in 1950.

A company of the same name at Osaka is recorded as scrapping Banfora Maru in 1957, and one at Kobe as breaking Mai Rickers in 1961. Rosanoski suggests a possible connection with the Amakusu Sangyo listed at Osaka in 1953–4 with Koei Maru, and the subsequent Amasuka Sangyo Kisen listings at Yokohama. Koei Maru was not located.

Japan, Yokohama in Jordan and Tokyo in Lloyds 1958–9.
