Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (“NYK”) and Yusen Logistics Global Management Co., Ltd. (“YLGM”) jointly exhibited at Global Space Technology Convention & Exhibition (GSTCE) 2026, held in Singapore from May 13 to 14.

GSTCE is an international conference and exhibition focused on space technology and the commercialization of space business. It brings together government agencies, space-related companies, startups, investors, and other stakeholders, serving as a platform for information exchange and business matching aimed at advancing the space industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Following last year’s participation, the NYK Group exhibited for the second consecutive year, with NYK and Yusen Logistics participating jointly.

Under the key theme of its space business, “From Ocean to Orbit,” NYK showcased its initiatives to develop offshore space infrastructure, including offshore launch vessels and rocket recovery vessels, as well as new possibilities for the maritime industry through the utilization of satellite technologies. Yusen Logistics, drawing on its extensive experience in international logistics, presented its capabilities in the global transportation of space-related equipment such as satellites and rocket components, along with supply chain solutions at an operational level tailored to the needs of the space industry.

On the first day of the exhibition, a panel discussion titled “Fixing the Broken Supply Chain of Space: How Just-in-Time Launch Becomes Possible” was held, featuring Daisuke Suga, head of the Advanced Business & Space Business Development Team within NYK’s Innovation Promotion Group, as a panelist. The session brought together experts representing different roles across the space ecosystem, including satellite components, communications and operations, and orbital deployment. The panelists exchanged views on the key challenges facing the overall space supply chain and discussed potential approaches to addressing these issues.

During the exhibition, representatives of NYK and Yusen Logistics met with Jeremy Chan, executivechairman of Singapore Space and Technology Think Tank (SST Think Tank) and organizer of GSTCE. The meeting provided an important opportunity to exchange insights into the evolving space ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region and to strengthen relationships with a key organization driving industry development and dialogue.

By combining its strengths in both maritime operations and logistics, the NYK Group aims to create new value in supporting transportation and supply chains within the space industry. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to contribute to the sustainable growth of the global space industry in collaboration with international partners.
