In a statement to the press, “K” Line said, “The most advanced technology had been applied to construction of the vessel, in order to ensure that it would satisfy our customers’ needs. For example, each cargo hold is equipped with the world’s largest single panel hatch cover so as to enable efficient cargo handling. It is also equipped with energy saving devices developed by Universal Shipbuilding Corporation, thus enabling dramatically improved propulsive performance and fuel consumption.”
The vessel, constructed to fly the Japanese flag and mainly crossing Atlantic Ocean, is expected to play a part in the initiative to improve the education and training system for Japanese seafarers, thereby contributing to further globalization of the Japanese shipping industry.
