What Crew Members Say About Torman-Ii

On September 12, 2023, the NYK-managed LNG carrier, LNG Flora, received accolades from the commandant of the Japan Coast Guard for its significant contributions to maritime research. The vessel has been instrumental in supplying seawater temperature data to the Japan Coast Guard's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department, enhancing the understanding of oceanic conditions. This information plays a crucial role in various marine research initiatives, including chart development and responses to environmental challenges, like earthquakes and other disasters. The award ceremony took place in the commandant's office in Tokyo and featured attendance from Hiroshi Yonezawa, President of NYK LNG Shipmanagement Ltd., representing the wider NYK group. Notably, this recognition follows a similar honor bestowed upon the NYK-managed LNG carrier, Broog, back in 2012 for its contributions to maritime science.
