Vessel Christening Takes Humanitarian Slant As part of the launching cere- mony of P&O Nedlloyd's second vessel to join its Southampton Class, the company made signifi- cant contributions to a new care home for orphans who were vic- tims of the 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquake. The new vessel, christened P&O Nedlloyd Kobe and the second of four 6,690 TEU vessels to be launched this year, was named during a tradi- tional Japanese ceremony at the Port of Kobe Shinko. In accor- dance to local cul- ture, P&O Nedlloyd "bor- rowed" the name of the city and subsequently returned the com- pliment by making the donation to the new care home called "Hamakaze no ie", or House of the Sea Breeze. The Kobe will be operating in P&O Nedlloyd's Northern European - Far East Service in cooperation with Grand Alliance partners.
