[The Spectacle of a Ship Launching Ceremony] On May 22nd, the launching ceremony for the newly-built “AMIS NATURE” bulk carrier cargo ship was held at our Kobe Works facility in Japan. When building a ship, the outer body is first built on the slipway. After the outer body is completed, it is launched into the sea and the remaining outfitting work is carried out. A launching ceremony is held when the ship slips into the sea for the first time. Our Kobe Works facility adopts a "glide launching" m

On Thursday, the Sheriff's Office conducted the ceremonial launching of Rescue One. The ceremonial ship launching is the process of transferring a vessel to the water. It is a naval tradition in many different cultures, dating back thousands of years. We appreciate those that came out to be a part of the ceremony that included our partners in Southern Marin along with Supervisors Dennis Rodoni and Kathrin Sears. | Marin County Sheriff's Office
