Chapter 150 I Can't Take Responsibility

Fang Mingyuan also heard about grlianyaj Shipping Company's crude oil leakage in the Strait of Malacca, and then he remembered the single-hull and double-hull oil tankers he mentioned when watching those documentaries in his previous life. On the Exxon Valdez oil tanker

Before the pollution incident, most of the tankers used in the world's crude oil shipping were single-hull tankers. The purpose of double-hull tankers was to save energy when transporting liquids that need to be heated, such as asphalt, molasses or paraffin, because the double-hull tankers

The thermal insulation performance is relatively good. However, after the Exxon Valdez oil tanker pollution incident and the introduction of new regulations by the International Maritime Organization, double-hull oil tankers have become the only choice for large oil tankers!

The documentary mentioned that in the International Maritime Organization's many years of maritime accident records, the accident rate of single-hull oil tankers was more than five times higher than that of double-hull oil tankers. In the late 1990s,

At the beginning of the new century, single-hull oil tankers accounted for more than 60% of the world's nearly two crude oil shipping fleets. Among these more than 1,000 single-hull oil tankers, more than 300 were built by Japanese shipyards.

It was built in the 1970s. At that time, in order to obtain excess profits, Japan's emerging shipyards were trying to build a large number of ships as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost. In particular, the thickness of the steel used in these ships was reduced to the point where it was indispensable.

!

Although it is said that only the Americans have clearly stipulated that single-hull oil tankers are not allowed to operate in their domestic waters, Fang Mingyuan knows that with the advent of the new century, one after another single-hull oil tanker leaks will make single-hull oil tankers just like crossing the street in Europe.

They are like rats, and everyone shouts to beat them! Spain and France even have records of using their navy to expel single-hull oil tankers and ban them from entering the port!

Several crude oil spills from single-hull oil tankers in Europe have made the International Maritime Organization determined to ban the use of single-hull oil tankers in global waters by 2015! In developed regions such as Europe and North America, even more

It has enacted a more stringent ban than the International Maritime Organization. Chapter 150 cannot bear its responsibility and expels single-hull oil tankers from its own waters and ports early.

Therefore, these shipping companies that own single-hull oil tankers have moved a large number of single-hull oil tankers to Asia, which has relatively low environmental protection requirements. Among them, most of them are bound for ports in Japan, South Korea, China and India. But as

After several shocking leaks, Japan, South Korea and China have successively advanced the time to ban single-hull oil tankers from entering their own ports and waters! If Fang Mingyuan remembers correctly, it should be before 2010! In other words,

, by 2010, single-hull oil tankers will not even be able to leave the Strait of Malacca!

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan believes that although single-hull oil tankers have considerable advantages over double-hull oil tankers in terms of cost and maintenance, they still have too many hidden dangers. Guo's Shipping Group had better take advantage of those few shocks.

The world's crude oil spill has not yet occurred. By transferring all the single-hull tankers in hand, on the one hand, we can make preparations in advance and order large quantities of super tankers at this time. This can avoid the Kuok Shipping Group Company's crude oil transportation capacity.

A sharp decline; on the other hand, at this time, it is more convenient to transfer these single-hull tankers in hand! Otherwise, as soon as the IMO and European bans are issued, the selling price of single-hull tankers will drop significantly, causing losses.

Although these single-hull oil tankers can be transformed into double-hull oil tankers, the modification will cost a lot of money after all; secondly, the age of single-hull oil tankers is generally higher, and those that have not been launched for a long time

There is also the value of transformation, but those single-hull tankers that are more than ten or even twenty years old have no value of transformation at all! Moreover, the transformed double-hull oil tankers are still not as good as the original ones in the final analysis!

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan informed Guo Tianyu in a very formal tone!

Guo Tianyu frowned. It is not difficult to make this determination. With the shares currently held by the Fang family and the Guo family, it can be said that they account for an absolute majority in the Guo Shipping Group. As long as the two parties reach an agreement, even if other

If the directors object, they can also force the plan to pass, but this may cause dissatisfaction among other major shareholders on the board of directors, which is something he, as the president, must consider.

"Mingyuan, I still need to discuss this matter with the old man. And even if you want to do this, you have to do it slowly!" Guo Tianyu said slowly, "To avoid having a big impact on the company's stock price! Well, like this

Well, after I return to Hong Kong, I will gradually remove those old single-hull oil tankers from the company's fleet. What do you think?"

"Uncle Guo, you are an expert on how to run a company, and I am just a layman. Of course it is up to you to decide how to do it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He has achieved his goal, so naturally he will not go too far.

Intervene in the specific business of the company.

On June 10, Guo Tianyu officially left Japan and went to South Korea to continue his inspection. In Hong Kong, Guo's Shipping Group Company officially announced that due to its optimism about the strong demand for oil in various countries around the world in the future, the company will raise huge sums of money to shipbuilding projects in Japan and South Korea.

The company has ordered seventeen super tankers to further expand the capacity of the Kuok Shipping Group's tanker fleet! Moreover, it does not rule out the possibility of additional orders for ships at an appropriate time in the future! As soon as the news came out, it was immediately popular all over the world.

The shipping industry and shipbuilding industry have caused a commotion!

The shipbuilding industries of Japan and South Korea are naturally jumping for joy. Seventeen super tankers are not ruled out for additional orders in the future. This is tantamount to a strong dose of strength for the shipbuilding industries of the two countries that are currently operating in dismal conditions.

A heart attack! For them who are almost out of money to eat, this is simply a big pie falling from the sky! And more importantly, with the leader of Guo's Shipping Group, maybe they were still holding money and waiting.

Other shipping companies will also begin to formally consider whether they need to purchase new ships to expand shipping capacity. After all, Kuok Shipping Group is one of the few companies in the world. After the outbreak of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, the world economy has declined significantly.

A shipping company that can still maintain profit growth!

The business community in Hong Kong is even more lively. As a free port, the status of the shipping industry in Hong Kong's economy can be imagined. As the leading company in Hong Kong's shipping industry, it suddenly issued a strong statement that is so optimistic about the future trend of the world economy.

Sound, how can we not make these companies in Hong Kong excited about it.

People are eagerly looking forward to the seventeen super tankers. This is a super big order worth more than 1.5 billion US dollars! Who will end up with such a fat piece of cake! Although the seventeen super tankers have already

It is a rare large order in the history of the shipbuilding industry, but for more than ten shipyards in Japan and South Korea that are capable of building supertankers, it is only less than a year's output! Who will Kuok Shipping Group choose in the end?

Who will be the lucky person or persons?

What's more, Guo's Shipping Group Company still has subsequent ship purchase plans. Maybe the orders that will eventually fall into the hands of the lucky ones will be crazy! This is for these shipbuilding companies that are still trying their best to find rice from all over the world.

It is absolutely unforgivable to miss this opportunity!

On the top floor of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.'s headquarters building, in the office of the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

"You mean...we must unite with other shipbuilding companies in the country to put pressure on the government? Demand the passage of severe punishment for the insulting remarks made by Murakami Masaaki, an official of the Defense Agency some time ago?" President of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.

Iwasaki Kojiro looked at the report in his hand, and with a very serious look on his face, he said to the respectful Komatsudaira Moriji who was standing in front of his desk.

"Hey!" Komatsu Heimori replied decisively. Iwasaki Kojiro's eyebrows were twisted into a ball between his eyebrows!

"Komatsu-kun! What do you mean?" Before Iwasaki Kojiro could say anything, someone on the side was already saying angrily. Komatsu Heimori didn't need to raise his head to understand that the person who jumped out should be Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.'s Aerospace Business Headquarters Minister Naka.

Kentaro, his main competitor in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.!

"Don't you understand? Can Murakami-kun's remarks be called insulting to China? He just said 'China woman'! Fang Jun...Fang Jun, he really went too far!" Kentaro Xiangzhong

He said angrily.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Komatsu Heimori also understands that as the birthplace of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. has been an important member of the Japanese military industry from the beginning. At that time, it not only built for the Japanese Navy

It built many aircraft carriers such as Amagi and Ohtaka, and also built the famous Musashi battleship. At the same time, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. was also an important supplier of fighter aircraft to the Japanese military, with many models receiving approval from the Japanese Army and Navy at that time.

Approved, including the "Zero" fighter jet that once caused the Allies a huge headache!

After the war, although initially Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. was forcibly split up due to the liquidation of the Americans, with the outbreak of the Korean War and the United States rearming Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. was re-merged and re-merged.

It has become the largest arms supplier to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, providing tanks, fighter jets, battleships, and submarines to the Self-Defense Forces.

Therefore, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. can be said to be inextricably linked to the Japanese military, and it is also the company that most hopes that the military can break through the constraints of the Constitution and reorganize Japan's armaments. According to Komatsu Heimori's knowledge, the top management of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.

Some people secretly sponsor Japan's new history textbook compilation conference, hoping to open the way for a breakthrough in the constitution by revising Japan's World War II history!

"Xianzhong-kun, I hope you will be careful what you say! Otherwise, if the company and even the entire Japanese shipbuilding industry lose this order that may reach 24.5 billion US dollars, you cannot afford this responsibility!" Komatsu Tairamori!

Cold and authentic.!!!
