Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20 years. This is who we are.

On June 20, a 6,600tdw RORO vessel, code-named S503, was delivered to the owner, SHIPLUX X S.A.. She is the youngest and the last of 4 sister ships, ordered by CLdN.
In the last news, we said (Wilhelmine) "was the first in the series that was given name in Japan, as her elder sisters left our place without being named." Are they trading without own name? If not, how and where were they named? Okay, in this issue, we are going to disclose the secret.
At Kyokuyo, the fiscal year 2012 has started with the naming ceremony for S-502, a 6,600tdw RORO cargo carrier ordered by SHIPLUX IX S.A.. She is the 3rd of 4 sisters.

She is the second and the last of 2-ship series of Kyokuyo's self-developed eco-friendly ship with a semi-spherically shaped bow (SSS-bow) that reduces the wind resistance.
