On December 13, a naming ceremony was held at the Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier that NYK had ordered from MI LNG 7spinカジノmpany Ltd.* The ceremony was attended by Toshihiro Sano, chairman of TEP7spinカジノ Fuel & Power Inc. (headquarters: Tokyo, president: Seiji Moriya); Hendrik Gordenker, chairman of JERA 7spinカジノ. Inc. (headquarters: Tokyo, president: Yuji Kakimi); ** Yasumi Kudo, chairman of NYK; and a number of related parties.
At the ceremony, the ship was named “Pacific Mimosa” by Mr. Sano of TEP7spinカジノ Fuel & Power, and the ceremonial rope holding the vessel in place was cut by Mr. Sano’s wife. The ship’s main port of call will be in Australia, and the vessel derives its name from Australia’s national flower, which is part of the Mimosa family.
The ship will be delivered in March 2018 and assigned to transport LNG for JERA from the Wheatstone LNG project — in which JERA, Mitsubishi 7spinカジノrporation (head office: Tokyo; president and CEO: Takehiko Kakiuchi), and NYK participate.
