About IINO

IINO MODEL

Our Business Model comprises two pillars: the Shipping Business and the Real Estate Business

A business model that blends the Shipping Business with major market fluctuations, together with the Real Estate Business where market fluctuations are relatively minor.

IINO's business model is based on the two pillars of Shipping, which grows in tandem with the expansion of the global economy but is subject to high market volatility, and the Real Estate business, which is relatively little change in market fluctuations and secures stable revenues.
