Lloyds dates this company to 1971, but Alan Watt reports sightings from 1966. Rosanoski therefore questions either the date or the identification among companies of this name. It is presumably the operator and charterer/broker listed by cy-marin. Two vessels previously placed under company (2) appeared here in 1980–81. Cosco Seiwa Shipping was formed in 1995 as an equal venture with China Ocean Shipping.
Japan, Tokyo; a company of the same name is also reported at Kure, Hiroshima.
