Do you still remember the key features of our latest model of 7,200m3 L.P.G. carrier ? OK, let's review what we wrote in News 174 :

  • Satisfying all the latest regulations ;
  • Multiple cargoes handling ;
  • Compliance with requirements from Oil Majors ;
  • ILO/MLC2006 compliant Accommodation, with citadel sector to protect crew from pirate attacks ;
  • Fire alarms for every room and increased number of gas detectors ;

On March 28, under the clear sky, we carried out the ceremonies one after another, just in front of the vessels berthing at our No.2 and No.3 quays. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. Vafias.

We started with the naming ceremony for S515. Mrs. Sophia Galitopoulou named the gas carrier "ECO CHIOS" and cut the rope that had tethered the new ship to Kyokuyo in warm applause from attendees.

Then the naming and delivery ceremonies for S514 took place. As kindly appointed by Mr. Vafias, Mrs. Yumiko Ochi, wife of the Kyokuyo's president, named the elder ship "ECO STREAM" and christened her by breaking a champagne bottle against the brilliant orange colored hull.
