Wishing you all a happy new year, I would like to say some words about 2009's Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation.
Our last big event of 2008 was the naming and delivery ceremonies held on December 11 for S-481, 845TEU geared container carrier.
Japan is traditionally known as country of career-long employment and escalator system. Things are changing slowly though. Nowadays, one can switch companies more easily than before as labor fluidity is increasing.
Kyokuyo's office building annex was extended to 3 floors this summer, to provide an ample and organized space for our growing design division.
Kyokuyo received the first order for its new strategic product - Roll-On/Roll-Off cargo carrier. Being aware of the fact that about 50% of the world RO/RO fleet of "our size" are more than 20 years old, we have been tackling since a couple of years the development of modern RO/RO, which can reduce as much as 60% of CO2 emission compared with truck transportation. This 4-ship order marks the first fruit of the project.
You probably know that we received an order for 4 sister container carriers of 847 TEU and have already delivered 3 ships, named SINOTRANS BEIJING, SINOTRANS SHENZHEN and SINOTRANS NINGBO respectively.
On May 30, 2008 took place, at our shipyard, the naming and delivery ceremonies for a 847TEU container carrier S-478, 3rd of 4 sister ships ordered by China's SINOTRANS group.
Like everywhere in Japan, the new fiscal-academic-corporate year kicked in on the bright and clear day of April 1!
On February 1st, an 847 TEU type container carrier, code-named S475, was delivered to her Hong Kong based owner, Trade Integrity Shipping Limited. She is the eldest of the series of 4 vessels.
"Seijin no hi" (Day of Adults, literally) is the Japanese coming-of-age day, held on the second Monday in January. To celebrate its employees who reaches the age of 20, Kyokuyo Shipyard presents them a gift on that day every year.
Happy new year! I would like to wish a prosperous new year for everyone of you.
Hello everybody, I am Noriyuki Fukushima. I take charge of Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation's production division.
Dear customers and readers,
As you may have seen in the previous news, I have been appointed senior managing director of Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation.
Hello, everybody! This time, I, Atsushi Shiga, introduce my Quality Assurance Division of Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation. It is a compact yet highly efficient team with 4 expert members in 2 sections.
As our loyal readers know well, April is the month for a Japanese company to welcome newcomers fresh from college and school. This April is however an unusual April for Kyokuyo Shipyard (and general affair staff in particular), as it has received as many as 10 new recruits - number more than double compared to average year level.
Have you read Tomomi Sano's introduction to her Material Purchasing Division in News060? Since it was received favorably, now it's my turn.
A happy new year to all!
Kyokuyo's last big event in 2006 was joint ceremony for naming and delivery of S467 and naming of S468 held on December 5. The 13,400tdw multi-purpose cargo boats are sister No.3 and No.4 ordered by Carisbrooke Shipping Holdings Limited.
Every year, about 30 typhoons are born in the Northwest Pacific. Their route varies : some head to China, others proceed to Korean Peninsula, and several hit Japan also. The activity peaks in late summer when water temperatures are warmest.
Hi, I'm Tomomi. Today I'll leak out the most confidential information on our Material Purchasing Division of Kyokuyo Shipyard, which I'm working for.
