今日（10月31日），日本三大航運公司NYK，K'line 和 MOL發布公告，計劃合併三家船公司的貨櫃運輸業務並為此成立合資運營公司！
新組建航運公司運力將高達140萬Teu，一舉躍升為全球第6大船公司，並將佔有全球市場份額的7%
對於今日日本三大船公司的合併之舉，眾多行業內人士認為， 隨著此前也就多次重要合併的發生（CMA合併APL，HPL合併USAC，CSAV，以及COSCO和CSCL和合併），鑑於全球海運供應商的減少和集中，整個海運市場將進入上升通道，對運力和運價的掌控將徹底扭轉目前的頹勢， 預期這次日系三大船公司的合併將是此次行業業見底的標誌和轉折點。
聯合聲明的原文如下：
We wish to inform you that earlier today Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereafter, NYK), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. (hereafter, MOL) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (hereafter, K-Line) agreed, subject to regulatory approval from the authorities. To establish a completely new joint-venture company to integrate and consolidate the container shipping businesses of all three companies.As no doubt aware, the container shipping industry has faced over the last five years unprecedented financial challenges. Global trade growth has slowed and the industry has witnessed a significant over supply of new tonnage. These two factors have contributed to create an adverse supply and demand imbalance environment, which has significantly undermined long term industry financial stability and future investment sustainability. In order to combat these factors, industry participants have sought to gain scale merit consolidation through integration and acquisition activity. Under such similar circumstances, NYK, MOL, and K-Line have now decided to integrate all their container shipping and terminal operating businesses excluding Japan, into one new single entity. The name of the new company will be advised in due course, but it will look to retain the highest of service standards, whilst offering a comprehensive global network, scale, innovation and strong financial credentials.2.

今天（10月31日）早些時候，日本郵船株式會社（以下簡稱NYK）、商船三井有限公司（以下簡稱MOL）和川崎汽船株式會社有限公司（以下簡稱Kline）經政府監管部門批准，建立一家全新的合資公司，整合併鞏固三家公司所有的貨櫃航運業務。
毫無疑問，貨櫃航運業在過去五年中面臨著前所未有的挑戰。 在全球貿易增長放緩，行業出現了大量超額新噸位， 這兩個因素對行業造成不利的供需環境，嚴重削弱了行業長期的金融穩定性和未來的投資可持續性。
為了克服這些因素，行業參與者通過尋求整合和併購的方式鞏固其規模優勢地位。 在這種情況下，NYK，MOL和K-Line現決定將除日本之外的所有貨櫃航運和碼頭運營業務整合成一個新的單一實體。 新公司的名稱將在適當時候被告知，但它將保持最高的服務標準，同時提供全面的全球網絡，規模，創新和強大的財務憑證。
與此同時，公司照常營業，所有三家公司將繼續經營和服務他們的客戶， 一旦獲得監管協議，新公司將開始建立，隨著時間的推移，三家現有公司和新公司之間將進行資產和員工的有序轉移。 預期的時間表目前設想如下。
新組建公司的股權分配：
NYK 38%
MOL 31%
K'Line 31%
•成立新的合資公司
2017年7月1日（計劃）
•開始運營
2018年4月1日（計劃）
