The JSK-D1006 is a 12.9-DWT coal carrier went under construction with the steel-cutting ceremony last August, followed by keel laying on November 10. The ship was launched in June 24 this year, and is to be delivered to JSK on October 20^th.

Right after the naming ceremony, OMI hosted the launching ceremony for the D1007, the vessel to succeed D1006.

 
The procedures for the launching ceremony was simplified—following the delivery of D1006, the JSK-D1007-COC was brought on to the floating dock, and the dock was drowned to float the ship.
