Shoichi Sugawara (Owner & Manager)

Thank you for visiting our page. I’m Shoichi Sugawara, founder of Nautical Trading Services LLC. Born in Japan and serving in the U.S. Army Reserve, I began my career in vessel operations, crew management, and fuel supply during university. After graduation, I supported U.S. Navy vessel repairs and logistics for U.S. and allied forces in Japan. With years of experience working with embassies and government agencies, I founded Nautical Trading Services to bridge the gap between U.S. government operations and international businesses. I look forward to supporting your operations with reliable and transparent service.

Our operations in Japan are supported by an exceptional team of professionals, including veterans. I am deeply grateful for this team and the opportunities we’ve been given. With dedication and integrity as our foundation, we continue to deliver outstanding service. With a passionate and uncompromising approach, we remain committed to achieving even better teamwork and results.
