The 1869 decree permitting private possession of western ships had failed to produce an adequate response, and the shipping enterprise of Iwasaki Yataro set up INDUSTRIALIZATION 19 in 1870, which later became the Mitsubishi firm, was about the only noticeable undertaking. The government turned to direct subsidies in the form of giving up government-owned ships, grants for navigation and training for officers. The government was generous on this, being in need of shipping because of warrior rebellions and the Taiwan Expedition of 1874.

Although there were more than 150 shipyards by the turn of the century, only twelve constructed ships that actually received subsidies under this law. Three of these, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Osaka Iron Works, accounted for nearly 90 per cent of the total tonnage subsidized, and Mitsubishi alone accounted for nearly 40 per cent (Zosen Kyokai 1973b). Therefore, the government policy in effect selectively protected a few large firms which in turn were responsible for both quantitative and qualitative development of the industry.
