Working Conditions Aboard the Energy-Prometheus

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has proudly announced the completion of the coal carrier Energy Prometheus, a dedicated vessel for Hokuriku Electric Power Company, which took place on May 15 at Oshima Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.'s Oshima Shipyard. The milestone was celebrated with a ceremonial christening and delivery attended by representatives from Hokuriku Electric Power and various stakeholders. Designed with an extended beam and a shallower draft, the Energy Prometheus is well-equipped to navigate ports with limited depth, thereby enhancing cargo capacity. This vessel, fortified with cutting-edge technology, promises exceptional operational efficiency. The name Energy Prometheus honors a predecessor MOL vessel that previously transported coal for Hokuriku ports, reflecting the enduring commitment to service. With a long-term contract for continuous voyages, the Energy Prometheus is set to be a pivotal asset in MOL's coal transportation services for Hokuriku Electric Power.
