Binh Bridge (1,280 meters long, 22.5 meters wide, with 101.6 meter-high towers), the longest cable-stayed bridge in Vietnam, was ordered from IHI in July 2002 and was completed and opened in May 2005. The bridge was built across the Cam River that flows west to east through Haiphong, Vietnam's third largest city, which lies approximately 100 kilometers east of the capital, Hanoi. Intended to increase distribution efficiency by improving transportation convenience, the revitalization of the Vietnamese economy is expected to result from Binh Bridge's completion. And with the completion of the bridge, IHI has once again demonstrated to the world what it can achieve with its advanced technical capabilities. Continuing to draw on these capabilities is part of IHI's policy to proactively develop bridge-marketing activities both in Japan and overseas.

In December 2005, in cooperation with subsidiary Niigata Transys Co., Ltd. (NTS), IHI completed an order from Hong Kong International Airport by delivering 12 vehicles for an APM transit system that stretches approximately 750 meters between the concourse and the passenger terminal building.This was the first overseas delivery of vehicles for the Group's APM transit system.
IHI is proactively broadening its sales activities in its new transportation business by developing and proposing more competitive systems for both existing airport terminal expansion projects and the many new airports planned all over the world.

IHI Turbo Thailand (ITT), a joint venture with Toyota Motor Corporation that manufactures and sells turbochargers, has achieved a cumulative production volume of 1 million units since the plant commenced full-scale operations in 2003.
Of IHI's six turbocharger-manufacturing plants, ITT has increased its production capacity to an outstanding degree. In response to the expanding demand for turbochargers, not only was a second plant built in August, but the original plant was also enhanced, with plans to double the current production capacity.
IHI also plans to increase annual production capacity in Japan and overseas plants other than ITT up to 3.5 million units, 1.5 times of the current level, in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

IHI won a contract for a large-scale thermal power project in Malaysia. The coal-fired power project will have a power generation capacity of 1,400 MW (two 700 MW units) and include a coal-handling facility. The power plant will be owned and operated by Jimah Energy Ventures Sdn. Bhd. of Malaysia. IHI will participate in the construction of the power plant as part of a consortium led by Sumitomo Corporation.
In 2003, IHI won a contract for another coal-fired power project, the Tanjung Bin Power Project (three 700 MW units) in Malaysia, also as part of a consortium with Sumitomo Corporation.
In addition to these projects in Malaysia, IHI also won contracts for thermal power projects in the U.S. (720 MW) and Australia (200 MW).

The consortium of IHI, Toyo Engineering Corporation (TEC), Toyo Engineering India, ITOCHU Corporation and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. recently received an order from Petronet LNG Ltd. (Head office: New Delhi) to expand and enlarge the Dahej LNG receiving terminal. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract covers an LNG vaporization delivery facility, including a fourth LNG storage tank (above-ground storage-type tank with 148,000 m3 of volume) and a vaporized gas treatment plant to double the terminal's capacity.
Construction work is scheduled for completion at the end of 2008.
