Japan's Chubu Electric Power unveils new LNG vessel

Greetings to the Seishu Maru.

On September 5, a naming ceremony for a new LNG vessel ordered by Trans Pacific

Shipping 1 Ltd., a joint venture company comprising Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), Chubu Electric Power Co. Inc., and the Mitsubishi Corporation, was held at the Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.

According to a release from NYK, at the ceremony, Toshio Mita, chairman of Chubu Electric Power, named the ship Seishu Maru.

The release said the wife of the Chubu Electric Power chair cut the ceremonial rope holding the vessel in place. NYK chairman Koji Miyahara was also in attendance.

Here's more from NYK:

This vessel’s name is derived from the old name for the north and central parts of Mie prefecture, where Chubu Electric Power’s LNG terminals are located.

After delivery, Seishu Maru will be shared by NYK, MC, and Chubu Electric Power, and used to transport LNG for Australia and North America projects.

In accordance with its medium-term management plan “More Than Shipping 2018,” NYK will continue its efforts to provide stable and economical LNG transport services.
