Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20 years. This is who we are.
Kyokuyo's brand-new all-weather blasting factory started its operation in November. This new facility, located adjacently to the existing all-weather block assembly factory, is dedicated to surface preparation of the building blocks just assembled.
The 45th "Kyokuyo Open" golf match was held on October 11, 2005, under crisp autumn sky. This year, a record number of 125 proud players including our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and employees, gathered at Shimonoseki to win the biggest title of the industry (in my opinion)!
On September 25, Kyokuyo delivered a 180,000cft refrigerated cargo carrier, S-461. The vessel, with fish processing equipments installed onboard, is the latest and also a milestone product in our continuing line of ultra-low temperature reefer technologies.
As we reported in News047, the monster typhoon No.18 or Songda, which severely hit Japan in September 2004 reminded us of the saying "providing is preventing".
July 29 was the day of naming and delivery ceremonies for S457, 12,000tdw multi-purpose cargo boat. It is the third sister we built for Swiss-based SCL, after SCL BERN and SCL THUN as we reported already.
Our brand new in-house cogeneration plant was completed end of june and went on line on July 3.
At the Annual Shareholders Meeting and Board of Directors Meeting held on June 27, Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation elected and approved new board.
On May 12, shortly after Japan's "Golden Week", we delivered a 12,000tdw multi-purpose heavy lifter, built by order of Swiss owner, SCL Reederei AG.
We took a steady step toward "further improvement in design quality", one of our 3 challenge themes of 2005 as our Senior Managing Director K. Ochi told in his New Year's greetings.
A new business and school year has just begun in Japan. This issue features some short seasonal news around Kyokuyo.
The first vessel that Kyokuyo has built in 2005 is a multi-purpose heavy lifter ordered by our Swiss based client, SCL Reederei AG. The ship, code-named "S455", is also the first of four sisters we will build for SCL.
In my first and second installments in this series of columns, I introduced the history of our hometown - Shimonoseki. Today, I would like to talk about its 'today' and 'tomorrow'.
Happy New Year to all of you ! I thank our CEO, Mr. Okamoto, for giving me an occasion to deliver a message to our site visitors.
