Naming and delivery ceremony for SNo.722 / 630,000cft type refrigerated cargo carrier,”SENEGAL EXPRESS” was held at our Toyosu Works.

Singaporean owner ordered S-722 refrigerated cargo carrier, named “SENEGAL EXPRESS” and safely delivered to the owner on March 28, 2025. The vessel sailed out to Tokyo for fuel bunkering. We believe the vessel contributes banana trade between Europe and West Africa. But before that, she will engage kiwi fruits transportation from New Zealand to Japan and South Korea for a while.

We, shipyard would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Japanese owner from Singapore, the European charterers from Marseille, France and other relatives from Ehime, Hiroshima, Tokyo for coming to Hachinohe. Also, four of our local financers joined the delivery. Appreciate for your joining the ceremony.
