The Fuji hits the water Naming and launching of M/T Bow Fuji By Torgeir Hjorth Mid September our latest long-term time-charter fully stainless steel vessel, M/T Bow Fuji, was delivered from Kitanihon Shipbuilding Co. After a period of miserable weather and lots of rain in Japan, September 15th appeared with clear sky and beautiful sunshine, making the naming and launching ceremony a fantastic event. Delegates and guests from the owners, Yuyo Steamship Co., Kitanihon Shipbuilding Co., bankers, investors and not least from Odfjell, witnessed the lady sponsor, Rannveig Præsttun Bjørvik, cut the ribbon with an axe. The champagne bottle smashed as expected at the bow, and the Bow Fuji started to slide backwards into the water. It is really impressive to see such a large vessel enter its right element. and Makoto Komatsu, also contributed to making our stay in Japan very memorable. Bow Fuji is expected to be delivered to Odfjell in November 2006. Principal dimensions of Bow Fuji: Hull number: 366 Summer dead weight: 19,800 dwt Length overall: 141.00 mtrs Beam 24.20 mtrs. Draft: 9.65 mtrs. Kitanihon Shipbuilding Co. had arranged everything in a very controlled and organized manner, including a nice celebration party at Hachinoe Park Hotel in the evening.

Bow Sky revisited Lady sponsor gets on board at Singapore By Atle Knutsen M/T Bow Sky was named in April 2005 at the Stocznia Szczecinska Nowa yard. Lady sponsor was Mdm. Teng, Soo Fen, wife of Radm. Tuck Yew Lui, former CEO of the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority (MPA). It was a great honour for Odfjell to have Mdm. Teng perform this important ceremony and to have senior members of the MPA attending the event. On May 17th, on the Norwegian Constitution Day, the Bow Sky was visiting Singapore for the third time on her trade around the globe. It was a good opportunity to invite Mdm. Teng on board to revisit the vessel and meet the officers and crew. The vessel’s loading and discharge program allowed for a smooth access at Odfjell’s joint venture terminal in Singapore, Oiltanking Odfjell Terminal Singapore. Unfortunately, Mdm. Teng’s husband could not attend the visit, but we were pleased that Mdm. Teng had brought her two daughters, Elaine and Emily, to see the ship. In the engine control room, with Chief Engineer Vasseng Capt. Bakke, his officers and crew presented the vessel in A1 condition, and hosted a very nice dinner in honour of the guests. The lady sponsor was very interested in the vessel’s trading since delivery and to get an impression of life on board such a sophisticated vessel. Through an extensive tour of the ship, all the way from the engine room to the bridge, Capt. Bakke informed about all the functions on the ship. In particular he stressed the importance of the crews’ close attention to safety. Odfjell has adopted a policy of having all their owned vessels decorated by local schools from the area around the yard. The lady sponsor was impressed by all the beautiful pictures and other artefacts on board. While touring the superstructure, the guests were also shown the nice cabins of crew and officers as well as the gym facilities which contribute to make the Bow Sky such a pleasant ship to sail on. This is also reflected in the vessel crews’ positive “can-do” attitude. On deck with Laurence Odfjell Captain Bakke, the Lady Sponsor Mdm.
