NEWS 330 : FROM BLUEPRINTS TO MILESTONES
As we welcome 2025, I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes for a year filled with health, success, and meaningful achievements.
Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20 years. This is who we are.
Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation, in collaboration with Uyeno Transtech Ltd. and Izumi Steel Works, Ltd. , has received Approval in Principle (AiP) from ClassNK for the design of a deep-cooled ammonia carrier equipped with two 6,000m3 semi-refrigerated tanks, with a total capacity of 12,000m3.
We are proud to announce the delivery of the new 1,000 TEU container carrier, S-578 "Kako," to Imoto Lines Ltd. on November 29, 2024.
In the spring of this year, Kyokuyo Shipyard implemented a significant increase and expansion of "childcare support," including congratulatory gifts for births and enrollment in elementary and junior high schools.
On June 28, we celebrated the graduation ceremony of the annual training program for new recruits at the Oita Regional Shipbuilding Craftsmanship Center (ORSC) in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture. Seven of our new recruits returned safely with a slightly more mature look (one with blond hair) after completing the three-month training program that began on April 4. Reflecting their efforts and struggles, their work uniforms seem to be dirty again this year.
On April 1, as the wave of cherry blossoms was moving across the northern part of Japan, new employees arrived at Kyokuyo.
While Japan's economy has finally emerged from a long period of deflation, prices are now rising and the economic environment is becoming more difficult for households.
In order to provide direct support to families raising children who will lead Japan's next generation, Kyokuyo has decided to generously expand its Childcare Gift Program effective April 1.
Three months have passed since the June litter picking, and now it's time for "Autumn Marine Litter Zero Week". We, being a member of the Cooperative Association of Japan Shipbuilders, are taking part in the nationwide effort to clean up marine litter.
