Happy New Year 2018! To start this year, I would like to talk about Kyokuyo's 2017 and 2018.
On October 11, we were blessed with lovely autumn weather for the naming and delivery ceremonies of S532, a semi-refrigerated type 7,000m3 liquefied gas carrier. Mr. Constantinos Tsakiris, President and Director of the owning company, Paradise Gas Carriers Corp., accompanied his partner Mrs. Sorina Lazar and his daughter Kyveli to this event.
The 57th "Kyokuyo Open" golf competition took place on October 6, 2017, at the Shimonoseki Golden Golf Club. This annual event, to which we invite many guests from our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and outsourcees, among others, gives us an important opportunity to express our gratitude to our stakeholders.
On August 27 was the day of... the 6th Shimonoseki Cutter Race ! It was sunny and windless, as the organizer wished, but exceptionally hot for the end of August. Finally, no less than 600 athletes, in 65 teams, participated in this popular event held in our home town.
As matter of fact, Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation hosts many competitions. You probably know some of them, including "Kyokuyo Open" annual golf tournament, and the inter-company skills competition with Onomichi Zosen. But how about this one - "Blind tasting competition" with JFE group of companies?
Dear customers, friends and colleagues, happy new year to you all. I want to take a moment to bring you up-to-date on Kyokuyo's plans for 2017.
Do you remember the first ship we delivered in 2016 was "EPIC SENTOSA", a 11,000m3 LPG carrier ? Do you also remember that we built her sister "EPIC SHIKOKU" in May ? Now, our last ship for 2016 was their youngest sibling, "EPIC SAMOS"!
