Japan Trio’s JV to Be Named Ocean Network Express

 

 

Japan’s big three container shipping companies informed that their new joint venture (JV) will operate under the tradename “Ocean Network Express”.

 

Establishment of a holding company between Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) is currently planned in Japan, and an operating company is planned to be incorporated in Singapore.

In addition, regional headquarters of the operating company will be set up in Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom (London), United States (Richmond, VA), and Brazil (Sao Paulo).

“The move will allow Ocean Network Express to better meet customers’ needs by providing high-quality, competitive services through the consolidation and enhancement of the three companies’ global network and service structures,” K Line said.

The trio agreed to establish the JV, which will integrate the three companies’ container shipping businesses, including worldwide terminal operation businesses, excluding those in Japan, in October 2016.

The establishment of new JV will officially be announced once all anti-trust reviews are completed. In mid-March 2017, the proposed joint venture received an approval from the Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS).

The parties earlier said that the new joint-venture company would operate a fleet totaling 1.4 million TEUs, placing the new company as sixth in the market with approximately 7% of global share.

K Line and MOL, which will each hold 31 percent, and their compatriot NYK Line, which will hold the remaining 38 percent, plan to establish the new joint-venture company on July 1, 2017, while business commencement is expected to start as of April 1, 2018.

On June 17, 2017, about 01:30 Japan Standard Time, ACX Crystal, a containership chartered by NYK collided with US Navy destroyer USS Fitzgerald at 20km off the coast of Shimoda, Shizuoka prefecture in Japan.

 

 There were no injuries on board ACX Crystal, or oil spill from the vessel, it is understood that, however, a couple of sailors of the USS Fitzgerald are missing according to the Japan Coast Guard. Our thoughts and deep concerns go out to all those directly affected.

 

 NYK has established a Crisis-Management Headquarters, and fully cooperated with an investigation by the Japan Coast Guard together with the Shipowner.

UPDATE: US Navy Destroyer Collides With Container Ship

Edited by Doorn, 19 June 2017 - 10:33.

SEVEN US Navy sailors have been found dead in a flooded sleeping quarters aboard the destroyer USS Fitzgerald after it was in collision early Saturday morning with the 2,858-TEU ACX Crystal.

Chartered by Japanese shipping giant NYK, the ACX Crystal only suffered slight damage to its port bow gunwale. All 20 crew were not injured and the ship is docked in Yokohama, not far from where the accident occurred.

But the destroyer's starboard crumpled up presenting little resistance to the impact of a ship three times its size, crushing a section of the bridge work like tin foil judging from the aerial photos posted on the web. There are 200 in the destroyer's crew and 20 aboard the Philippines-flagged box ship.

US and Japanese ships and aircraft launched a huge air and sea search for the crew but "a number of bodies" were found in the flooded quarters of the damaged destroyer USS Fitzgerald, the US 7th fleet said in a statement.

"As search and rescue crews gained access to the spaces that were damaged during the collision, the missing sailors were located in the flooded sleeping quarters," it said.

Names are withheld pending notification of next of kin. The Fitzgerald, with the help of tugboats, arrived back at its homeport of Yokosuka naval base, south of Tokyo, on Saturday evening. 

Three people aboard the destroyer were medically evacuated, including Commander Bryce Benson, who was reportedly in a stable condition after being airlifted to the US naval hospital at the Yokosuka base, the navy said. The other two injured crewmembers were treated at the hospital for cuts and bruises.

The US 7th Fleet said the collision damaged two berthing spaces, a machinery room and the ship's radio room. Most of the more than 200 sailors aboard the Fitzgerald would have been asleep at the time of the incident.

Water had to be pumped out of flooded areas before the crushed mid-right side of the ship could be searched.NYK said in a statement it would cooperate fully with the coastguard's investigation. 

Under Japan's "status of forces agreement" the US has primary jurisdiction over incidents involving vessels such as the USS Fitzgerald.

Japan's coastguard and the US navy plan to question crew members from the ACX Crystal, and could treat the collision as a possible case of endangerment of traffic caused by professional negligence, Kyodo news said.

At about 29,000 tons displacement, the containership is more than three times the size of the 9,000-ton Fitzgerald, and was carrying 1,080 containers from the central Japanese port of Nagoya to Tokyo.

By Tim Kelly TOKYO, June 26 (Reuters) – A U.S. warship struck by a container vessel in Japanese waters failed to respond to warning signals or take evasive action before a collision that killed seven of its crew, according to1 a report of the incident by the Philippine cargo ship’s captain.

 

Multiple U.S. and Japanese investigations are under way into how the guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald and the much larger ACX Crystal container ship collided in clear weather south of Tokyo Bay in the early hours of June 17.

 

In the first detailed account from one of those directly involved, the cargo ship’s captain said the ACX Crystal had signaled with flashing lights after the Fitzgerald “suddenly” steamed on to a course to cross its path.

 

The container ship steered hard to starboard (right) to avoid the warship, but hit the Fitzgerald 10 minutes later at 1:30 a.m., according to a copy of Captain Ronald Advincula’s report to Japanese ship owner Dainichi Investment Corporation that was seen by Reuters.

 

The U.S. Navy declined to comment and Reuters was not able to independently verify the account.

 

The collision tore a gash below the Fitzgerald’s waterline, killing seven sailors in what was the greatest loss of life on a U.S. Navy vessel since the USS Cole was bombed in Yemen’s Aden harbor in 2000.

 

Those who died were in their berthing compartments, while the Fitzgerald’s commander was injured in his cabin, suggesting that no alarm warning of an imminent collision was sounded.

 

A spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka, the Fitzgerald’s home port, said he was unable to comment on an ongoing investigation.

 

The incident has spurred six investigations, including two internal hearings by the U.S. Navy and a probe by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) on behalf of the National Transportation Safety Board. The Japan Transport Safety Board, the JCG and the Philippines government are also conducting separate investigations.

 

Spokesmen from the Japan Coast Guard (JCG), U.S. Coast Guard and ship owner, Dainichi Invest, also declined to comment. Reuters was not able to contact Advincula, who was no longer in Japan.

 

The investigations will examine witness testimony and electronic data to determine how a naval destroyer fitted with sophisticated radar could be struck by a vessel more than three times its size.

 

Another focus of the probes has been the length of time it took the ACX Crystal to report the collision. The JCG says it was first notified at 2:25 a.m., nearly an hour after the accident.

 

In his report, the ACX Crystal’s captain said there was “confusion” on his ship’s bridge, and that it turned around and returned to the collision site after continuing for 6 nautical miles (11 km).

 

Shipping data in Thomson Reuters Eikon shows that the ACX Crystal, chartered by Japan’s Nippon Yusen KK, made a complete U-turn between 12:58 a.m. and 2:46 a.m. (Reporting by Tim Kelly; Additional reporting by Nobuhiro Kubo; Editing by Alex Richardson)
