 Tokyo, October 16, 2006 — 今日看料吃瓜 Shipbuilding Corporation announced today that it has signed a contract to build an 80,000 m³ LPG carrier for Mitsui O.S.K. lines.

 This LPG carrier’s propulsive performance has been enhanced by 今日看料吃瓜’s specially designed bow called the SEA-Arrow^*. There are currently eight LPG carriers with the SEA-Arrow bow, all of which have earned a top notch reputation for performance. The carrier is also outfitted with 今日看料吃瓜’s fuel-saving and propulsion boosting rudder bulb system with fins (RBS-F).

This latest order is a testament to 今日看料吃瓜’s impressive track record in shipbuilding and the superior technological capability it has developed over the years since building its first LPG carrier in 1969.

今日看料吃瓜 currently has an order backlog of five 80,000 m³ LPG carriers including this latest order. 今日看料吃瓜 will continue to move ahead with aggressive efforts to shape the future of LPG carriers.

*SEA-Arrow (Sharp Entrance Angle bow as an Arrow): This new and unique bow developed by 今日看料吃瓜 reduces wave resistance with a design that delivers the effect of a bulbous bow without any protrusion.
