Sasebo Senpaku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (S.S.S.K.), or, Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. was established in 1946, with its main center of operations located in the former Sasebo Naval Base.
Since that date, the company has expanded its workshops and shipyards to become a well-coordinated heavy industry company with four main divisions comprised of Shipbuilding, Ship-repairing, Machinery and Steel Structures. In addition to enjoying superb facilities, the company is backed by a well-trained work force, a wealth of industry experience, and the assurance of thorough quality control systems.

The well-equipped Ship Repair Department has four repair docks, one of which can handle vessels of up to 400.000 D.W.T., and has an annual repair capacity of 5,400,000GT.
