Bringing New Value to Japan's Shipping Industry

The global shipping industry is entering a "new normal" defined by intensified market volatility and complex regulatory shifts. In a recent featured interview with Maritime Bridge Japan, Seven Oceans leadership, Himanshu Joshi (CEO) and Sitaraah Zareen (CCO), discussed how digital transformation is no longer just an operational upgrade, but a core requirement for commercial survival.

Bridging Tradition with Digital Innovation

Japanese shipowners and operators are globally recognised for their operational excellence and long-term trust-based relationships. However, as Hirofumi Yamamoto notes in his report, the industry has historically relied on individual judgment for revenue management.

At Seven Oceans, our mission is to provide a market-neutral ecosystem that bridges this gap. By integrating traditional maritime expertise with high-velocity digital tools, we empower Japanese shipping professionals to visualise earnings and risks with unprecedented clarity.

Key Strategic Pillars for 2026:

• Integrated Risk Intelligence: Through SOC and SORM, we are shifting the industry from ex-post responses to predictive risk management. By linking real-time transaction data directly to hedging tools, users can protect margins even amidst rapid market fluctuations.

• Practitioner-Led Design: Seven Oceans was built by commercial practitioners. Our philosophy is simple: technology must adapt to the operation, ensuring that digital tools enhance—rather than constrain—on-the-ground decision-making.

• Global Connectivity for Japan: We are strengthening our human presence in Japan to support local shipping companies and trading houses as they expand internationally. Our platform serves as a seamless bridge, reducing language barriers and connecting Japanese excellence with global market dynamics.

Over the next decade, decarbonization and AI-driven analysis will redefine leadership in the maritime world. Seven Oceans remains committed to providing the resilient operational foundation necessary for Japanese companies to remain at the forefront of global shipping.

"Our goal is to provide the sophisticated digital environment demanded by the next generation of shipping professionals—one that balances safety, quality, and commercial agility."  — Himanshu Joshi, CEO
