ONE DEJIMA at the Presentation Ceremony for the picture book co-produced by ONE, “Jean-Pierre Sails the Seven Seas”
On April 22, 2025, Ocean Network Express (ONE), the parent company of ONE DEJIMA, donated 100 copies of “Jean-Pierre Sails the Seven Seas,” a picture book that ONE co-produced, to Nagasaki City.
Held in Nagasaki City, the presentation ceremony featured Mr. Yasuki Iwai, Global Chief Officer of ONE, formally handing the book over to Mayor Shiro Suzuki.
Attending from ONE DEJIMA were President Tōyama and Mrs. Ikemoto from the HR team.

During the ceremony, Global Chief Officer Iwai presented the book and catalog (目録), and briefly introduced the background to the book’s creation and examples of how it’s being used within ONE.
Mayor Suzuki offered high praise for the book, commenting: “It was a very good book that helps people visualize how the things that are ordinarily around us manage to arrive in Japan. Nagasaki is a city that developed because of the sea. Understanding how the sea relates to our daily lives also connects to understanding Nagasaki itself. In that sense, we definitely plan to utilize it in various ways in elementary schools and kindergartens.”
The picture book will be distributed through Nagasaki City to all city elementary schools, as well as to libraries and nursery schools.
We hope this donation encourages children living in Nagasaki City to wonder where and how the items around them are transported from the rest of the world, sparking their interest in containers and the maritime shipping industry.

ONE DEJIMA was established in Nagasaki and recently celebrated its first year of operations.
With the support of ONE’s headquarters in Singapore (GHQ), our local partners in Nagasaki, and the dedication of every team member, we have steadily expanded our scope and continue to grow as a vital part of ONE’s global network.
Even within the ONE Group, we are aware that our presence is not yet fully recognized.
To commemorate our first anniversary and increase awareness, we created a company introduction video.
The video showcases how ONE DEJIMA was established, the core operations entrusted to us by GHQ, and the dynamic team driving our daily work—all set against the beautiful backdrop of Nagasaki, a historic gateway to the world.
As a Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) hub supporting ONE’s core operations, we are committed to creating greater value together with our colleagues around the world.
Through this video, we hope to share what kind of organization ONE DEJIMA is and the future we envision.
We also hope it will inspire new colleagues to join us in taking on the next challenge.
