Sumeragi Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Tenmu Heavy Industries shall take all the orders. As one of the biggest shipbuilders in the world, we have the expertise for customer satisfaction. OOC: Tenmu is the combination of all the major Japanese/Korean heavy industry/steel companies. Try topping that. Edited May 22, 2009 by Sumeragi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Glorious Aotearoan Integrated Shipping would be proud to offer tender on this order. With our unmatched knowledge and experience as the provider of heavy shipping to one of the largest nations in the world with the added insight of requiring all our vessels to stand repeated use over a large range of waters, temperatures and weather patterns, we feel we could match and beat any other offer tabled.

king of cochin Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 How would the Tenmu Heavy Industries like the payment? We are quite rich in Coal, Spices and many other minerals. Geographically we also have substantial oil resources. If you would like payment in trade goods please indicate so. The products of our various industries are listed in our Factbook. One more thing, when shall we receive the ordered vessels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing, when shall we receive the ordered vessels? It is your decision to make rashly. After only two proposals you make your choice and take the worse offer from the less industrialized nation. We can see that definitely put a large amount of thought into this.

Sumeragi Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) We would like to receive payment in uranium and other such rare metals, for we need them to run our high tech industry. The ships shall all be delivered within 3 months, to the port of your choosing. We shall also add that although GAIS may believe it is superior, they are only so in naval ships. When it comes to perfect craftmanship, Tenmu can put its honor as collateral. OOC: Korea has the fastest container completion speed of 50 days, while the industry average is around 75, while Japan has special human industry craftmen who can make things better than any machines. No matter how advanced others may be, you can't beat us Edited May 22, 2009 by Sumeragi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 There is nothing in responding to a tender. We merely inquired as to their tender details. We have not awarded the tender to anyone yet. tenders shall be accepted till the last date and they shall be appropriately selected. OOC: Sorry, did not put in tender duration. Will edit in main post immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have established our expertise by decades of training, turning shipbuilding into an artform. There are many Kyokujitsujin engineers who, using nothing but a blowtorch and hose, can make the perfect bow curve, unduplicatable by machines, which reduces drag by 15%. There are things that no amount of industrialzation or technology can catch up to. OOC: And this is one reason Japan and Korea dominate much of shipbuilding, automobiles, and robotics. We have our unique strengths unmatched by any othetrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) (OOC: Can both of you link us to these threads where you show the development of your ship building industries or are you just making stuff up to win a contract?

Sumeragi Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) OOC: Tenmu Heavy Industries was the Imperial Industrial Zaibatsu stretching from rolling stock, ships, aircrafts, and steel that combines the strength of Japanese and Korean skills. Think of it as Hyundai Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi, POSCO, Nippon Steel, and Japan Steel Works rolled into one. I've RPed it a bit, although it's currently private with the absence of the Sumeragi.

Plus, Japanese/Korean heavy industry companies almost always have shipbuilding. Hyundai and Mitsubishi are good examples. There are more passing mentions, but it's hard to find them all while using a cell phone. Edited May 22, 2009 by Sumeragi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of cochin Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The Department of Transportation is perplexed that only two bidders have quoted for such a large and lucrative tender. Surely there must be other ship building industries out there? It is not necessary a single bidder has to supply all the ships, multiple contracts could be awarded.

Subtleknifewielder Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Planning Industries (OOC Never RP'd them before--I rarely RP indsividual companies) will enter a bid to build the Oil Tankers. We are quite efficient shipbuilders, made necessary by the fact that we are bordered in three directions by water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumeragi Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 *Private message* We need to take all the orders to achieve full capacity of our facility. Our docks are somewhat idle due to lack of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargun II Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Southern Shipbuilding, a small shipbuilding company in Slidell, Louisiana, wishes to build the two 550,000 DWT tankers. We are not large or esteemed, but we have done the majority of the work for civilian shipping through Louisiana and all of our ships are built to withstand fierce storms - something that happens rather often down here. We cannot compare our ships to others, but as we only request the two largest tankers we hope that we can use this as a catapult to receive better funding.

Roanoke Ship Systems is placing a bid for the 10 Container ships, citing their experience with large civilian vessels.
