And of course, we have been allocating considerable resources in the basic research. Our investment in studies on various fields, like energy-saving, or automating, to name a few, have brought rich feed-backs to our commercial products. In hull form "lines" development, we avail ourselves of facilities of Japan Shipbuilding Technology Center and Nishinihon Fluid Research Co., Ltd. for model tank testing.
You may recall our name in combination with air-cooled type full refrigerated container carriers that we have recently developed and built for COSCO, but in fact those ships are natural fruits of our technical teams, just like all the other vessels completed in our dockyard. We are proud of building original merchant ships unique to us. [2002/05/15]
