The company specializes in the Panamax-size bulkers, having built about 60 ships of this size.[7] The company has been able to build bulkers with capacity of up to 83,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT) able to pass through the Panama Canal.[7] Other bulker designs by the company include Handymax-size general bulkers and 52,000 DWT woodchip carriers.[7]

As a spinoff of its shipbuilding business, Sanoyas Hishino Meisho entered the ship repair and refitting business.[8] This company works on cargo ships, high-speed ships, ferries, tankers, car carriers, floating cranes, dredgers, and all types of work barges.[8]

The company's Mizushima Works and Shipyard is the company's flagship facility and is located in Kurashiki City in the Okayama Prefecture.[9] The facility employs advanced shipbuilding techniques using computerized and robotic systems for ship building, repair, conversion, and renovation work. The facility has a shipyard, four wharfs, a dry dock capable of holding up to three ships at once, and 46 cranes with capacity up to 800 metric tons.[9]

The company's Osaka Works provides many services for the Ship and Steel Structure group and other groups in the company.[10] The facility has a shipyard, a wharf, and several factories.[10] Some of the resources there include two dry docks and thirteen cranes with capacity up to 80 metric tons.[10] The Osaka Ship Repairing Factory has a shop devoted to maintaining the hull and machinery for high-speed ships.[8]
