In March, KHI also delivered the submarine Toryu to the Japanese Ministry of Defense (MOD) at its Kobe Shipyard Nishihama Quay.

The submarine offers superior submerged operation and propulsion performance, as well as high-water pressure resistance using high strength steel for its pressure hull.

It also features a variety of automated systems, high-performance sonar to improve surveillance capabilities and lithium-ion battery systems, which provide increased underwater endurance.

Toryu is marked as the 12th Soryu class submarine and the 29th submarine constructed at the Kawasaki Kobe Shipyard since the Second World War.

KHI delivered a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, Marvel Pelican, to domestic shipping company Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) in 2019.
