NEWS 336 : RAINS COULDN'T STOP HER!
Delivery of 1,096 TEU Container Vessel ERASMUS EFFORT
On July 18, 2025, Kyokuyo Shipyard proudly completed and delivered the 1,096 TEU container vessel ERASMUS EFFORT to Erasmus Group.

The vessel was formally named by Mr. Shusuke Okochi, President of Daido Kaiun Co., Ltd., who will become her owner after the vessel enters service. His daughter, Miss Miu Okochi, performed the rope-cutting ceremony, giving ERASMUS EFFORT her official start in life.
Despite the rainy, windswept weather - unusual for a post-rainy-season day - the delivery ceremony turned into something truly memorable. Although we had announced that ship tours would be optional, every guest joined the visit. In the end, some umbrellas didn’t survive, many of us were soaked, and we all huddled together under a tent for a commemorative photo. We believe the experience left a vivid and lasting impression on everyone who attended.
Later, at the reception (complete with a quick change of clothes for many of us), we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of ERASMUS EFFORT as she sailed proudly through the Kanmon Strait - rain or no rain.
