TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced that on October 16, a naming ceremony for a newbuilding LNG carrier, jointly owned by MOL and Tokyo LNG Tanker Co., Ltd. (President: Hiroyuki Yamakawa), was held at the Tsu Shipyard of Japan Marine United Corporation (JMU; President and CEO: Shinjiro Mishima; headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo).

Among the crowd of well-wishers on hand for the ceremony were Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. President Michiaki Hirose, who gave the name Energy Liberty to the vessel, after which his wife cut the rope.
