About KOM'c

Hello everyone, I'm Yongkang Ma.

I was born and raised in Shanghai, China. After earning a degree in telecommunication engineering, I began my career at the major Chinese shipping company COSCO, where I spent five years working on the operation and maintenance of telecommunication and navigation systems.

In 1997, I moved to Japan to pursue graduate studies at Osaka Prefecture University, focusing on ship structure and kinematic performance. After completing my degree, I worked in various roles across the shipbuilding industry: designing onboard air-conditioning systems, managing the production of auxiliary boilers, and serving as a shipbuilding project manager overseeing production engineering, quality control, parts procurement, and construction scheduling.

In 2010, I transitioned into a sales engineering role at a comprehensive marine trading company. There, I supported Japanese shipowners by arranging overseas dockings, inspections, and urgent technical assistance.

Looking back, I’ve spent over 32 years in the maritime industry, working across technical, engineering, and commercial roles. These years have given me deep insight into global business practices and allowed me to build strong, trust-based relationships with equipment manufacturers, shipowners, shipyards, and trading companies in Japan, China, and beyond.

In June 2019, with the support of NMD Group, I founded KOM'c Inc., short for Kobe Ocean Marine Consulting. After initially operating under NMD Group, we became an independent company again in June 2025.

Six years have passed since KOM'c was launched. Thanks to the trust and support of our clients, we've continued to grow steadily. We may still be a small company, but our strengths lie in understanding our clients’ needs quickly and offering fast, reliable solutions backed by a strong global network of trusted professionals. We pride ourselves on our cross-border agility and ability to deliver practical, effective solutions without delay.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to supporting our clients with dedication and expertise. Thank you as always for your warm support.
