NEWS 132 : LAUNCHING OF S498 & SEA TRIALS OF S495

1,022TEU Container and SSS-bowed PCC

On March 8, 2011, container carrier S-498 was launched as scheduled. S-498 can carry as much as 1,022 units of 20 feet standard containers - the biggest number ever for a ship built by Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation. She will be delivered in the month of June, after outfitting process.

Kyokuyo's Latest 1,022TEU Container - Launched

On the other hand, S-495, the youngest sister of Kyokuyo's "Semi-Spherical Shaped-bow"-ed (SSS-b) pure car carriers passed rampway tests and sailed for sea trials on the next day. The naming and delivery cermonies for this eco-friendly vessel, scheduled at the end of this month, will be our last big event in this fiscal year ending March 31.

Kyokuyo's Patented SSS-bowed PCC

As the PCC sisters will be operated solely in Europe, coming weeks are the last chance to see a vessel with a Semi-Spherical Shaped forepart in Japan, at least for now. We are currently doing our best to give her the last touch. Wait for our next news!
