Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding has delivered its last merchant ship as the former giant ends 100 years of shipbuilding in Japan.
The 66,000-dwt bulker newbuilding Jal Kalpataru was constructed at its Tamano shipyard for compatriot shipowner Doun Shipping.
The ship is part of Mitsui E&S' environmentally friendly “neo series” of bulk carrier designs, and the company said it will be the last ship it builds in Japan.
