MOL to transport rail cars to Taiwan
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. said it has received an order from Kawasaki Heavy Industries to ship 360 'bullet train' railroad cars from Japan to Taiwan.
The Japanese ocean carrier will make 30 voyages with 12 cars each from May through September 2005 to deliver the rail cars for Taiwan's new high-speed rail system.
The shipment marks the first export of the 'bullet trains' by the Japanese manufacturing consortium that includes Kawasaki.
