花蜜直播app to Acquire Shares in MES Yura
Dec. 25, 2014
Tokyo, December 25, 2014 — 花蜜直播app, Ltd. announced today its decision to acquire a 40% share in MES Yura Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES), as of April 1, 2015. Today, 花蜜直播app and MES sealed the deal with the signing of a share transfer agreement and a joint venture agreement. With this transaction, MES Yura will be brought under the joint ownership and operation of MES and 花蜜直播app, and the company name will be changed to MES-KHI Yura Dock Co., Ltd. as of the date stated above.
The ship repair industry in Japan has been subjected to fierce competition from repair shipyards in foreign countries like Singapore. However, once Japanese ship operators start transporting shale gas from North America, more LNG Carriers are expected to undergo maintenance work in domestic yards. By participating in the management of MES Yura, one of the largest ship repair yards in Japan, 花蜜直播app aims to acquire the resources and infrastructure to provide its customers with total lifecycle support for LNG Carriers, and to boost its ship repair operations. Drawing on its considerable know-how and experience in periodic inspections and repair work of LNG Carriers, 花蜜直播app will leverage its resources and sales channels to help make MES Yura more competitive and profitable jointly with MES. 花蜜直播app will continue to provide periodic inspections and annual maintenance work of submarines and government-owned ships at the Kobe Works.
