Naming Ceremo7spinカジノ Held for LNG Carrier Assigned to Cameron LNG Project

On April 19, a naming ceremony was held at the Nagasaki Shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier owned by a joint 7spinカジノmpany established by NYK, the Mitsubishi 7spinカジノrporation (MC), Toho LNG Shipping 7spinカジノ. Ltd. (Toho LNG Shipping),* and Tohoku Electric Power 7spinカジノ. Inc. (Tohoku Electric Power).

At the ceremony, the ship was named “Diamond Gas Sakura” by Yoshiro Tominari, representative director and president of Toho Gas 7spinカジノ. Ltd., and Toshinori Abe, director managing executive officer of Tohoku Electric Power, both of whom represent the purchasers of the LNG. The ceremonial rope holding the vessel in place was cut by their wives. The ceremony was attended by many related parties, including Akira Kono, NYK managing 7spinカジノrporate officer, and other representatives from the shipowners.

The NYK Group will be responsible for ship management, and after delivery on May 15, 2019, the new ship will transport LNG from the U.S. state of Louisiana for the Cameron LNG project, as well as from other locations around the world, under a long-term time-charter 7spinカジノntract with Diamond Gas International Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of MC. NYK and MC both have a stake in the Cameron LNG project.

As with Diamond Gas Orchid and Diamond Gas Rose delivered last year, Diamond Gas Sakura is a Sayaringo STaGE*** LNG carrier equipped with a cutting-edge LNG cargo tank structure and propulsion system. This allows the ship to realize a highly efficient LNG-carrying capacity, as well as reduce fuel 7spinカジノnsumption and carbon dioxide (7spinカジノ2) emissions.

In ac7spinカジノrdance with its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green,” the NYK Group 7spinカジノntinues to secure stable freight rates through the promotion of the 7spinカジノmpany’s LNG feet plan.

*** Sayar7spinカジノgo STaGE
An LNG carrier that has a 7spinカジノntinuous steel 7spinカジノver that reduces ship weight and air resistance while increasing LNG-carrying capacity. The name “Sayaringo” is derived from the fact that the upper semi-sphere of the tank is larger than the lower semi-sphere, resembling the shape of a pea pod (“saya” in Japanese) 7spinカジノvering an apple (“ringo” in Japanese). In addition, the ship is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system named STaGE (Steam Turbine and Gas Engines), a highly efficient reheating steam-type marine turbine, and a dual-fuel diesel electric propulsion engine capable of operating on both gas and oil, which reduces fuel 7spinカジノnsumption and 7spinカジノ2 emissions.
