Taiwan’s Wan Hai Lines held a naming ceremony for Wan Hai 375 and Wan Hai 377, along with a charity donation event, on August 1, at the Japan Marine United Corporation TSU shipyard.
The ceremony was jointly officiated by Chao-Hon Chen, honorary chairman of Wan Hai Lines, Charles Chen, president of Wan Hai Lines Japan and director of Wan Hai Lines Singapore, and Nobuyuki Nada, president and chief executive officer of Japan Marine United Corporation.
Tomomi Nakasone, spouse of Yasutaka Nakasone, member of house of representatives, and Chen-Keenan Leanne named these two vessels respectively during the ceremony.
Wan Hai Lines has ordered a third batch of 3,055 teu series vessels from Japan Marine United Corporation.
This batch totals twelve vessels, and Wan Hai 375 and Wan Hai 377 are the last two vessels in this series.
These ships feature new energy-saving equipment and are certified with “Smart Ship” notations, said the company.
In addition to the ship naming, Wan Hai also made a charity donation of necessities to a charity organization, Esperance Yokkaichi, in Yokkaichi.
The charity donation represents part of Wan Hai Lines motto, “We carry, we care.”
The company reports that this move is part of its commitment to fulfil its corporate social responsibility, providing quality service to its customers, and supporting the society.
