宝くじ ビンゴ 5 FUKUROKUJU
TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today took part in a naming ceremony for the newbuilding liquefied natural gas (宝くじ ビンゴ 5) carrier (*1) 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 FUKUROKUJU, which is co-owned by MOL and Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. (KEPCO; President and Director: Makoto Yagi; Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture), at Sakaide Works of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (President: Shigeru Murayama).
Among the many guests on hand were KEPCO President and Director Yagi, who named the new vessel, and his wife, who cut the rope. The 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 FUKUROKUJU will serve a broad range of projects including the Australia/Pacific 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 Project (*3) after the delivery.
The vessel adopts a new steam turbine engine that reuses steam for heating, which will also reduce fuel consumption, and an advanced heat insulation system that offers the lowest 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 vaporization rate - 0.08% - of any 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 carrier in the world. Its environment-friendly, economically-advanced design also effectively controls surplus boil-off gas.
To realize the goal of "solid growth through innovative changes" stated in the midterm management plan STEER FOR 2020, the MOL Group uses its decades of experience and know-how as the world's leading 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 carrier owner and management company and works aggressively to provide value-added 宝くじ ビンゴ 5 transport services tailored to the needs of customers, including electric power and gas companies in Japan.
