30余年前に独立前のパラオを観光で訪れ、その自然環境の素晴らしさや人々の温かな心に触れたことで「この国の経済自立に寄与したい」との思いから開発事業に携わって参りました。

この間、パラオを始め南太平洋・極東諸国へと人脈が強く広がり、事業もグアムを始め太平洋島嶼国・フィリピンへと拡大されて行きました。特に2006年の米国有力企業であるShaw E & Iとの長期業務提携は当社にとって大きな転機となり、その後極東地域での事業展開は加速され、グアムでの港湾事業や建設に伴う資機材調達事業へと広がって居ります。

今後も、グアムを中心とした西太平洋地域・フィリピンを中心とした東南アジア・パラオから始まる南太平洋地域での事業の積極的な推進を図り、併せて太平洋の恵まれた自然環境を保護するため珊瑚やマングローブの再生や地球温暖化防止に向けて更なる努力を続けて参ります。 今後のオーシャン・デベロップメントの動向にご注目下さい。

代表取締役 来海祐介

Since over 30 years ago when I visited Palau, which was not an independent country, as a tourist and was impressed with the beauty of its natural surroundings and the warmth of the people’s hearts, I have been engaged in development projects there with the hope of contributing to Palau’s economic independence.

Meanwhile, our strong network of contacts broadened out from Palau to other countries and regions in the South Pacific and the Far East, and our business also expanded to Pacific island countries and regions including Guam and the Philippines.  In particular the long-term business partnership with Shaw E & I, Inc., a leading company in the U.S., in 2006 was a crucial turning point for Ocean Development Corporation.  Thereafter, our business in the Far East rapidly developed and has evolved into port operation business and equipment/material procurement business for construction projects in Guam.

We will vigorously promote our business activities in the West Pacific region centering around Guam, the Southeast Asian region centering around the Philippines and the South Pacific region starting with Palau, while making further efforts toward conservation of the rich natural environment in the Pacific Ocean such as regeneration of coral and mangroves and prevention of global warming.

I hope you would keep an eye on the performance of Ocean Development Corporation in the future.
