ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 Tugboat Ishin Marks 1st Bunkering of ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 in Kansai Region

January 31, 2019

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced that its ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 tugboat Ishin (*1) bunkered ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 in Sakai Senboku Port for the first time, in preparation for test operation. MOL ordered the vessel from Kanagawa Dockyard Co., Ltd. (President: Takehito Ikoma, headquarters: Hyogo-ku, Kobe). This is the first bunkering of LNG as a vessel fuel at any port in the Kansai region.

The ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 was supplied by Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (President: Takehiro Honjo, headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka) using a truck-to-ship LNG bunkering procedure (*2). After test sailing with ビンゴ 5 当選 番号, the Ishin is slated for delivery in late February, and will start operation in April as the first ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 tugboat serving Osaka Bay. The Ishin will be operated by Nihon Tug-Boat Co., Ltd. (President: Tetsuro Nishio, headquarters: Chuo-ku, Kobe).

Working closely with the Osaka Prefecture Port and Harbor Bureau and Osaka Gas, MOL has worked to develop an ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 supply system for ships in Sakai Senboku Port, which will be the first in Osaka Bay, through development of the Ishin. The MOL Group continually contributes to widening the use of ビンゴ 5 当選 番号 for ships (*3) and reducing their environmental impact (*4) by building upon the safe and efficient operation of the Ishin.
