Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has delivered the "MOL COMPETENCE," a large-size container ship, to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) at the Koyagi Plant of MHI's Nagasaki Shipyard and Machinery Works.
The container ship marks the 300th vessel delivered from MHI to MOL. The 8,100 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit), 90,000 gross ton "MOL COMPETENCE" is the largest container ship built by MHI. It is one of a series of ships targeting reduced weight and improved transportation efficiency through features including the world's first adoption of higher tensile strength steel (HTSS) with yield stress of 47 kgf/mm2 for longitudinal strength members, the most important parts of a container ship's hull. The HTSS was jointly developed by MHI and Nippon Steel Corporation. MHI believes that the customer's high appraisal of the company's technological expertise in shipbuilding and the reliability of the ships it has delivered resulted in the delivery of 300 vessels to MOL, which includes many historic ships with their innovativeness.
