About this page

This page describes Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism initiative to promote transformation in domestic maritime shipping. Domestic maritime shipping handles approximately 40% of national cargo transport but faces challenges, including 99.7% of operators being small-to-medium enterprises and aging seafarers. The ministry supports technology development projects through the "NX subsidy" program. Subsidies cover up to 50% of administrative expenses, with maximum grants of 60 million yen for single-year projects and 100 million yen for multi-year projects. Eligible projects must address maritime challenges while meeting societal needs such as logistics DX/GX innovation and offshore wind power development.
