<Business Performance during FY2010>
In car carrier segment, although the cargo trade of completed cars from the Far East followed a path of recovery due to the effect of the gradual recovery of the global economy led mainly by the emerging economies, trade volume from Japan didn't grow further from the second half of the fiscal year due to the added impact of the sharp rise in the yen that occurred from July onwards. Under such circumstances, the segment worked on reducing various costs such as by slow steaming and improving efficiency of vessel assignment, and as a result, managed to get back in the black.
