Before World War II, liner company in Japan was layering of as the world's third largest shipping nation in the world route network was a devastating blow in the second world war.

However, we will revive the fits into the chaos of war, as well as stretch.

Inside liner company after another play entering the routes Mitsui marine is aiming to join a closed European Alliance was at that time the strongest maritime Union venture. This follows road to resolve from the Mitsui marine challenge.

Denied twice Member application

 

Pacific war in 1942 amid the ( 0/1942 ) in December, Mitsui Marine Department independently, Mitsui marine co., Ltd. was born. Mitsui marine got permission from European Union ships of the age of prewar days, catch in the North Pacific salmon, trout and crab canning was carrying to Europe every year, but never regular routes. After World War II, and opened regular routes one after another as a common carrier, aims to end that European scheduled routes.

 

1951 ( 0/1951 )-11-made European Union membership application is rejected. At this time Japan Yusen and membership applications at the same time, accepted to join next month.

Mitsui marine again made application for accession is once again rejected in February of the following year. On the other hand, Osaka shosen for year 12 nautical application, is was year 6 nautical 1953 ( 0/1953 ) in February to join recognized.

Recognised rejoined Italy Germany had joined Osaka shosen and before World War II when ship owners, ship and rejoin the same pre-war members European allies.

Beginning's resolute challenge

 

1 Ship Road eastbound around the world circumnavigation, Akashi mountain Maru

 

Mitsui marine even things hereon, the outsider as a ship of the operation would have.

Conducting the world circumnavigation Road East out of New York route may 2 voyage 1 voyage around the Suez to return to Japan as the No. 1 ship, Akashi Maru sailed Yokohama 31^th of March,. That began a fierce battle Mitsui ship to the European Union remain here, in the maritime history of the post-war world.

 

Continued fills a vessel from Europe to Japan, in strong demand from customers increased on May 2 voyage from September.

The same month, "Asaka Maru" as the No. 1 boat-1 sailed westbound world circumnavigation road also opened. Pickup did appoint a European leading distributors. However, to those agencies made various harassment and pressure from the Allied side.

Devoting the employees of the Agency.

Employees of the Agency of the Netherlands was also emerge from their wedding party tuxedos remain went to the port of loading and unloading conditions to make sure.

Of course, allied in the Mitsui marine Inc. also provide the superior ship services, concerted.

The crew was very hard.

For example, experienced a luggage fare of highly dangerous goods are loaded and the large fits hard to devise.

Outsider ( outsider ship ) me in shutting out ( bumped ). Once they get it, long-awaited customers away.

To a morass of fare reduction in competition

 

Alliance side has been opposed by lowering fares.

Mitsui marine Alliance fares 10 percent discount went to pickup principles, but they get the rejection against the Alliance fares, reduced. Thus, saw as fares steadily fell, Alliance side put pressure on the Mitsui Marine fighting management and does not last long.

However against expectations Mitsui marine is helped in the tramp sector, show no sign of weakening at all.

Hating on the Allied side fighting to reverse the compromise also came out. On the other hand, the Alliance is putting pressure on Japan Government and try to resolve the problem.

 

However, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida at the time the Government outsider did not agree to regulate activities.

Japan Prime Minister Yoshida in 1954 ( 0/1954 ) during October, his attending Palmerston society of London work Japanese company branch manager in that organization's welcome party, conversely encouraged the Mitsui marine. And singled out the Kumano Shuichi branch of Mitsui marine, told the next.

 

"People in the United Kingdom, we work to do work like hated British people like this man is not good. It is from the hated British elongation of the defeated country Japan trade and shipping of course, is the Apple of Brits are being sucked onto a good thing guys.

Being hated is the growth of the economies of Japan and Germany, Japan is especially all the different ethnic groups.

In Germany a sense of intimacy in the same white companions, but hates us further.

Anyway have they guys, that kind of feeling, my hope

Explore the solution to become a political issue in

 

After World War II, Japan and wish to return to the international society, 1952 ( 0/1952 ) in August, first joined the IMF and the World Bank.

The GATT wheels in side by side with the IMF in the international economic and social also were seeking to join. Just nowadays, accession negotiations the endgame was greeted with the fear of this problem until they become GATT membership problem Miki Takeo Transport Minister at the time, shipping department shipping adjustment shizuo Asada ( after Japan Airlines President ) to the extraordinary resolution.

Asada chief thought was idea under wing ( wing sailing ).

Mitsui marine immediately without any Alliance, while journalists in Japan Yusen wing (wing), using Mitsui Marine's ship, but pickup, operated by and in the name of NYK line Japan admit Alliance affiliation period after the should be.

 

At this time, adopted the policy of the Department of transportation take the neutral position to the surface of the private mediation to.

Because of this, 1956 ( 0/1956 ) in February, Ishikawa Ichiro Keidanren Chairman as Chairman businessmen five Mediation Committee was inaugurated. Created a mediation proposal on the Committee questioned the circumstances from Japan Yusen, Mitsui marine.

It is "as Japan Yusen under wing finds world circumnavigation route each 1 voyage of Mitsui marine eastbound and westbound, instituting a certain restrictions in ports of call, product of quantity.

Can I use agents for Mitsui marine ship Office, do not as a rule use it other than to.

Under wing period to five years and "that was a tough, hard acceptance for Mitsui marine content.

Mitsui Marine will collect information from the fighting continue, broken Alliance and admit joining reading. Service number may be limited, but still much better than the under wing, resisted the mediation proposal.

However, Mediation Committee also was strong.

To pull back from a disappointing angered Kumano London Branch Manager

Thwaites European Union Chairman ( 0/1956 ) 1956 June 2 days, after signing the agreement to shake hands, and President Yoshizo IZUTSU.

 

Ishikawa Chairman calls former President Shuichi SASAKI and persuade, banks also agreed to this.

We didn't get here I am taking tears Mitsui marine even accept mediation proposal.

Kumano London Branch Manager ( after Executive ) is fought at the forefront this conclusion is totally convinced, also fired a fiery Telegraph be prepared cabled addressed to the head office.

However, when traveling to a head office in post processing arrangement one described circumstances with somebody see me accept the thinking that the future battles that continue with Mitsui marine atmosphere annihilated lent funds for new shipbuilding, became embattled at home, so the flabbergasted the temporary clause, despite the efforts of the guys from"Tamotsu RC President from the rather dilapidated.

 

Thus in June, extended for about three years to three months fighting was over.

From July, began vessel by Japan Yusen under wing. And Mitsui marine Alliance affiliation achieved in June, five years after 1961 ( 0/1961 ).
