Vessels and docks at SASEBO keep abreast of the times The mammoth tanker era is here! No questions about it. Constantly setting and keeping pace is Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. We have fourteen 210,000 DWT mammoth tankers on order. And construction is underway at our modern Sasebo Shipyard in the No. 4 building dock. Of this series the first mammoth tanker has already entered service. Some time back we launched the world's first 130,000 DWT mammoth tanker and the whole world looked with awe. Today this feat is but another page of our progressive history. But since those days we've made unmistakable headway. In ship construction as well as dock facilities. Ex-pansion work is progressing right on schedule at our No. 3 repair dock. And it will surpass a capacity of 300,000 DWT when ready for service this May. No questions about it. With facilities as unique as any in the world it's no wonder that Sasebo builds mammoth tankers bigger and better than ever. Right: No. 4 building dock. Building 14 consecutive 210,000 DWT mammoth tankers. Left: No. 3 repair dock. Capacity will be expanded to the size outlined. Completed dimensions 370m x 70m. Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.
