Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20+ years. This is who we are.
Our first big event in 2004 was the delivery ceremony for m.v. Arklow Wind, the second cargo vessel ordered by Arklow Shipping of Ireland.
Clear weather, warm sunshine and soft sea breeze - it was such a perfect day for celebrating! On December 27, 2003, two ceremonies, one for launching of S-451 and the other for keel-laying of S-452, took place at once in our dockyard.
On October 20, 2003, we celebrated the naming and launching of a multi-purpose cargo vessel "S448" at our dockyard. She is a sister ship of m.v. "Arklow Wave", which we covered in the previous issue.
On October 16 and 17, 2003, we carried out the sea trial of m.v. "Arklow Wave", 13,650tdw type multi-purpose cargo vessel ordered by Arklow Shipping from Ireland.
A Happy new year! Please accept our sincerest wishes to all of you for a joyous and prosperous new year.
Preventing fires is always top priority of manufacturers, and shipbuilders are not the exception. Because they are just like a savage beast always watching for a chance to attack, we have to be on guard all the time.
On June 18, the naming and delivery ceremony was held for a 180,000cft type reefer vessel, aka "TUNA QUEEN", latest fruit of our state-of-the-art ultra low temperature technologies.
In this issue, we cover delivery ceremony for a new-building vessel, which took place on June 12, 2003.
We have got a new girl and boys aboard. As on the 1st April, 6 fresh persons joined Kyokuyo. (For those who don't know Japanese tradition, Japanese fiscal year starts on April 1 and it is common to employ new graduates on every April 1).
In this issue, we feature our purchasing department (PD).
A brand new contract was signed between Kyokuyo and Kasuga Kaiun K.K..
We started the year 2003 with a busy month, giving birth to 2 new building ships only at 2 days interval!
Happy New Year, everyone! I would like to offer a few words of greeting for the New Year.
Time waits for no one and here is coming the end of year 2002. How has the year been for you? Whether it has been good, or bad, Kyokuyo Shipyard will be closed from December 29, 2002 to January 5, 2003 for the new year. Please see the calendar below for details.
On November 12, a clear autumn day, the naming and launching ceremony for our cement carrier S-443 (do you remember her?) took place at our shipyard.
As of October 1, 2002, an organizational change of our Constructions Division was announced. This first structural reform officially revealed by our new management marks our first step to shift from the conservative organization to a modern, more efficiency-oriented one.
On September 10, the keel laying for S-443, a cement carrier ordered by messrs. Seiho Kaiun Co., Ltd., took place at our all-weather block assembly factory.
On June 26, we completed the construction of a 834TEU type container carrier, S440, ordered by SITC Maritime (Group) Co., Ltd. of Qingdao, China.
Our first LPG carrier since 12 years has been just completed.
"PETRO COMBO" will have a sister!
