TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced ビンゴ 5 の 結果 naming of a newbuilding LNG Carrier ordered by a JV of MOL and JERA Co., Inc. (President: Yuji Kakimi; Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo), Trans Pacific Shipping 5 Ltd. (Note 1) Today's ceremony was held at ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI; President: Shunichi Miyanaga; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo). ビンゴ 5 の 結果 new vessel will serve JERA.
Among those on hand for ビンゴ 5 の 結果 event were Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. President Satoru Katsuno, who named ビンゴ 5 の 結果 ship ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Nohshu Maru, after which his wife cut ビンゴ 5 の 結果 rope.
ビンゴ 5 の 結果Nohshu Maru is ビンゴ 5 の 結果 second vessel for MOL to feature ビンゴ 5 の 結果 MHI-developed Sayaringo[saya(pea)-ringo (apple)] cargo tank (Note 2).
It also adopts MHI's state-of-ビンゴ 5 の 結果-art technology-ビンゴ 5 の 結果 hybrid dual-shaft Steam Turbine and Gas Engines (STaGE) (Note 3) propulsion system. This is an environment-friendly, economically superior design, which achieves a further reduction in fuel cost while minimizing CO2emissions.
ビンゴ 5 の 結果 vessel will transport LNG that JERA purchases from ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Freeport LNG Project in ビンゴ 5 の 結果 United States and other suppliers.
ビンゴ 5 の 結果 MOL Group draws upon its decades of experience and know-how as ビンゴ 5 の 結果 world's leading LNG carrier owner and management company, and works aggressively to provide safe, high-quality LNG transport services for customers.

(Note 2) ビンゴ 5 の 結果 individual tanks look like apples, with ビンゴ 5 の 結果 upper semi-spheres larger than ビンゴ 5 の 結果 lower semi-spheres. ビンゴ 5 の 結果 tanks are beneath a continuous cover that looks something like a pea pod. This design maximizes cargo capacity, and ビンゴ 5 の 結果 cover helps provide additional hull strength while reducing weight, which in turn saves fuel and reduces transport costs.
(Note 3) A propulsion system that combines a steam turbine system, which re-heats and uses steam used once in ビンゴ 5 の 結果 turbine, with a dual-fuel diesel-electric propulsion system. It improves heat efficiency by recovering exhaust heat generated by ビンゴ 5 の 結果 propulsion system, which runs on natural gas and gas oil.
