JSMEA partakes in Sea Japan 2022
The Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA), with support
by The Nippon Foundation, partook in Sea Japan 2022 on April 20-22 at Tokyo
Big Sight. At the event, held for the first time in four years, JSMEA coordinated theJapan Pavilion with exhibitions and events in partnership with a Sea Japan 2022
Maritime Cluster Planning Committee, which consisted of the Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) and other relevant maritime affairs
organizations.
In the Theme Zone of the Japan Pavilion, 52 companies and organizations
from the Japanese maritime industry introduced its latest technologies, products
and so forth. Under the main theme: “Earth- and Ocean-Friendly Technologies—
Towards a Sustainable GX/DX Society,” the Theme Zone was divided into smallerareas, where exhibitions focused on “Naval Vessel”, “Marine Transportation”,“Shipbuilding”, “Coastal Ship/Ferry”, “Zero Emission”, “Offshore/Offshore Wind”, “DX/
Autonomous Shipping” and other subjects.
In the members’ zone, meanwhile, 64 JSMEA members oversaw their booths.
Here also, JSMEA unveiled its blueprint for all future Japan pavilions, an image
branding design to be used consistently at international exhibitions across theglobe. The design was highly rated by both exhibitors and visitors, with onecommenting, “The modern Japanese design makes us feel something new of the
new Japan Pavilion.”
Many exhibitors from the zones voiced their delight. “As we are still in the midstof the coronavirus pandemic, we felt unsure about how the exhibition—held for the
first time in four years—would go over,” one exhibitor said. “But once it started, we
saw that there were as many visitors as last time, giving us a good feeling.”
JSMEA also hosted a ship machinery and equipment industry event for

students from the universities and colleges for which it had convened job fairs
and other relevant gatherings. It was attended by 54 students and instructors fromeight institutions. Besides presentations by industry stakeholders, a stamp rally
was given for the first time to encourage attendees to visit as many booths as they
could. Consequently, many students challenged to visit many exhibitors. “It was agreat opportunity to feel the attractiveness of the ship machinery and equipment
industry,” one student said.
On the final day, JSMEA was joined by the MLIT and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai(ClassNK) for a ships and marine technology seminar, entitled “Challenges in
the Shipping, Shipbuilding and Marine Industries for a Decarbonized Society.”

The ribbon is cut for the opening of Sea Japan 2022.

Many of the presentations were being given for the first time, and interest had
attendance overbooked at pre-registration. Attendees had to bear standing ina long line before the start of the event, and it was safe to say that the seminar
was highly successful, welcoming a total of as many as 473 participants in its
morning and afternoon sessions. “It was a meaningful seminar, as it extensively
covered the latest efforts of the maritime cluster, including the government,
shipping companies, shipbuilders, a classification society and ship machinery andequipment makers,” an attendee remarked.
On the same day, JSMEA joined hands with the Japan Coast Guard (JCG)
to unveil the JCG’s latest large survey vessel “Heiyo” to the public. Thanks tofavorable weather conditions, as many as 438 people took part in the event,a much greater number than expected. They enjoyed an opportunity to board
the vessel, which had been built from the best of Japan’s technologies. On theprevious day, students were invited on board. It was a great occasion to promote
the JCG, which is not very well known to outsiders, as some of the students
became interested in the roles the JCG plays.

JSMEA attends Nor-Fishing 2022
The Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA)
were joined by six member companies to Nor-Fishing 2022, held in
Trondheim, Norway on Aug. 23-26.
The biennial event held since 1960, Nor-Fishing is one of
the world’s largest exhibitions for the fishing industry. In 2022, itwelcomed some 15,000 visitors from Europe and other regions,representing ship machinery and equipment makers, design
companies, shipyards, fishing instrument manufacturers and others.
JSMEA journeyed to Norway on its own in 2018 for its debut at
Nor-Fishing, making 2022 the second time to attend the exhibition.
But this time, its attendance was financially supported by The Nippon
Foundation.
At Nor-Fishing 2022, JSMEA manned an exhibition booth together
with six of its affiliated manufacturers, while also being active outside
the venue by gathering and dispersing information: it attended aprofessional conference held the previous day; Mr. Ueda Shuzo,
leader of its Overseas Fishing Vessel Market Development Working
Group, met with people in fishing industries from around the world at
a gala dinner given by the Nor-Fishing organizer; and the delegation
inspected cutting-edge fishing vessels unveiled at nearby berths.
On Aug. 25, JSMEA interchanged with 15 individuals that
included students from Japan who had enrolled at the Ocean
Engineering Summer School sponsored by the Nippon Foundation
Ocean Innovation Consortium. Faculty members from the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, which hosted the summer
school, gave briefings on their nation’s maritime industry andresearch activities that they were working on. Local enterprises
participating in the program were also present and introduced
themselves to JSMEA, who convened a meeting to exchange

opinions with these partners.
After Nor-Fishing 2022, JSMEA traversed to Alesund to visit VARD
Søviknes—a local shipbuilder producing state-of-the-art fishing,offshore, cruise and other vessels—with four member companies.
After the accompanying members showcased their respective
products, the JSMEA delegation inspected facilities and equipment
at the shipyard. It was allowed to go inside the engine rooms of alarge trawler, which was having its shelving repaired, and an icebreaker cruise ship, which was under construction.
JSMEA will report its participation in Nor-Fishing 2022 at a
meeting of its Overseas Fishing Vessel Market Development Working
Group where it will discuss future activities and other matters.

JSMEA attends OTC 2022
The Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment
Association (JSMEA) traveled to Houston, Texas
for Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2022,
held on May 2-5, with financial suppor t fromThe Nippon Foundation. The OTC is one of thegreatest exhibitions and conferences in the world
for the offshore development industry. JSMEA has
attended the OTC for two years running and for the
ninth time since 2013.
At OTC 2022, JSMEA members were joinedby compatriot partners in oil development. A totalof nine companies and organizations set up aJapan Pavilion, where JSMEA members Daido
Steel, Daihatsu Diesel Mfg., Fuji Trading, ShinkoInd. and Ushio Reinetsu joined hands with INPEX,JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration, Nippon
Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) and Nippon Steel. They
showcased Japanese-made offshore developmentrelated products and exchanged information withvisitors from other economies’ offshore gas andoil development industries. At the conference, abasic design for a Japan Pavilion was adopted, as
it was last time, to promote products and services
under a unified brand image. Favorably locatedalong the main hall’s central aisle, the Japan
Pavilion covered an area of 1,600 feet, for the mostJapan Pavilion

extensive exhibition space ever manned by Japan
at the OTC. With many people visiting the pavilion,
the exhibitors were positive of the outcome. They
remarked how the situation was returning to levels
prior to the coronavirus pandemic, while others
pointed to the many orders made for supply parts,
components and materials. While some even said
that proposals were made for new joint projects.
At OTC 2022, a total of 1,064 exhibitors from39 countries and regions welcomed some 24,000
visitors, according to the organizer. It was held ona smaller scale—only in the main hall—as it waslast year. Still, the conference was successful tosome degree, although perhaps not as successful
as it was in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic
paralyzed the global economy, a source from theorganizer said.
In comparison, at OTC 2019, there were 2,300
exhibitors from 100 countries and regions, whichwere visited by 59,200 people. OTC 2020 wascancelled. The numbers of visitors and exhibitors at
OTC 2021 were not announced in the judgment of
the organizer.
At OTC 2022, exhibitors who had forewent
attending OTC 2021 returned with large booths,
such as local offshore development businesses

ABS Group, Baker Hughes and Schlumberger.
Meanwhile, Kongsberg Maritime, Rolls Royce,
Saudi Aramco and other overseas major players
also showcased exhibitions on a big scale. National
pavilions were set up by Brazil, Canada, France,
Ghana, Guyana, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway,
South Korea and the United Kingdom. Looking
ahead at a post-COVID world, governments werevery active in promotion.
At OTC 2022, technical sessions were held tomainly discuss decarbonization-related subjects,
such as energy transfers and carbon footprints.
Some of the sessions were attended by so many
people that some had to stand. Presenters said
that it is necessary to continue to produce oil andgas in the future and suggested that aggressive
investments should continue to employ hydrogen,a m m o n i a a n d o t h e r n ew f u e l s, to d eve l o p
carbon-capture, -utilization and -storage (CCUS)
technologies and to move on to wind and wave
power generation as well as other green energy
development, because net zero can produce big
business opportunities. They also mentioned thehydrogen-formation and CCUS projects underway
now in the United States.
A t OT C 2 0 2 2 , t h e re we re o n ly a few
decarbonization exhibitions. Instead, products
for offshore oil and gas development were main
exhibitions. It is worth keeping an eye on how theoffshore development market will advance and how
the OTC will be held in and beyond 2023.

comments about the exhibition, saying that it gave them
opportunities to meet with customers and talk with agentsin person.
On the morning of Day 1, Consul General Kato Kikuko
from the Japanese Consulate General in Hamburg
visited the Japan Pavilion after the organizer’s opening
ceremony. JSMEA’s chairman, vice-chairmen and member
companies gave her briefings on the exhibitions.
In the afternoon, JSMEA gave a seminar and helda networking reception at a local hotel. The seminar’s
topic was on the usage of wind power, which is drawing
attention as a means to realize decarbonization. Lectures
were given by Secretary-General Gavin Allwright of theInternational Windship Association (IWSA) and Executive
Officer Yamaguchi Makoto of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.
As the seminar focused on this timely subject, it naturally
drew many individuals from Europe as well, with the total
number of attendees—some of whom had to stand—exceeding 240, which was a much larger crowd thanJapan Pavilion holds seminar

small and medium size of two stroke cycle UEC engines
as a licensee of Japan Engine Corporation. We wish to
introduce the latest two UEC engine models as follows.

◦ Model: UEC33LSH-C2

lubricating system, J-MPL of high-pressure lubricating
system and A-ECL of optimum electronically controlled
lubricating system.

◦ Model: UEC42LSH-Eco-D3-EGR

This engine model was developed as the successor
model of UEC33LSII engine, which has been manufactured
more than 120 units by Akasaka. This engine model has
wide range of engine speed from low to high speed (145
～ 230min-1). Thanks to this advantage, this engine model
can be applied to various type of vessels such as LPG
carrier, Chemical tanker, Cargo carrier etc. This model isdriven by mechanical system, however its performanceis equivalent to that of electronically controlled engines.
Better environmental preservation capability can be
expected by reducing CO2 emission. Regarding cylinder
lubricating system, one of the systems can be selectedby shipowner’s preference among a simple conventional

This is an electronically controlled engine model
developed as the successor model of UEC45LSE. Low
pressure EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system isapplied as the countermeasure for NOx 3 requirements.
Low pressure EGR system has the advantage of no effectto the turbocharger during switching of EGR ON/OFF
operation and high load following capability. This modelis proud of low fuel consumption rate as the top classamong this class engines by fine tuning of the engine,
reducing mechanical loss, minimum pressure loss broughtby optimum scavenging and exhaust gas flow, andoptimization of fuel injection system. This performance isenabling high capability of environmental preservation andeconomical operation.

Best fit for MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship) Introducing
Wind Sensor Auto Selector and Marine Wind Web Logger
Providing marine anemometers for more than 50 years, ANEOS Corporation now introduces Wind
Sensor Auto Selector (SS-10) and Marine Wind Web Logger (WU-101M).
With the recent increase in the size of ships, wind turbulence may occur due to the influence of the hullshape and structure, and it may not be possible to measure the correct wind direction and speed.
Unwanted turbulence caused by the influence of the hull shape and structure is increasing with therecent increase in the size of ships, which makes correct wind speed and direction observation difficult.
The Automatic Marine Anemometer Switcher (SS-10) automatically selects a less affected anemometerfrom the two anemometers installed at different positions such as starboard side, port side, bow, and sternof the mast to observe by indicator, Navigation Equipment. It can also be switched manually, in case
if one of the anemometer malfunctions. This Wind Sensor Auto Selector can be retrofitted on existinganemometers.

The Marine Wind Web Logger (WU-101M)
webifies wind speed and direction data, any
computers connected to onboard LAN can browse
the anemometer data. The data can be displayedon usual web browser, no special software isrequired.

EVP - PTFE Bearing for Water Lubricated Stern Tube System
We offer rubber bearing (EVR) for water lubricated stern tube systemand have rich track records.
EVP is a low friction and low wear bearing developed based on thetechnology of EVR experience, and used PTFE (Poly-Tetra FluoroEthylene) as the sliding face.
Structures
The bearing has 3-layer structure, PTFE, rubber and outer shell.
The sliding face is made of PTFE which has excellent self-lubricity andexcellent heat resistance, the outer shell is made of reinforce plastic withglass cloth (=GRP), the rubber which has excellent flexibility is applied
between outer shell and PTFE.
GRP of outer shell and rubber are same materials as EVR.
Features1. Low Friction Material
1) PTFE used for sliding face is well known as a low friction material,and even in our bench test, it indicated very low friction coefficient of
about 0.001.(Test Condition: Shaft Diameter=100mm, Shape=Plane,
Bearing Pressure=2MPa)2) Since PTFE has self-lubricity and low static friction, reducing theload at startup.
3) Since lower friction coefficient than rubber bearings, which reduces
fuel consumption.

Test Equipment of 100mm shaft Dia.

2. Bearing Pressure Resistance
The allowable nominal bearing pressure is 0.6MPa, which is more than
twice that of rubber bearings.(obtained class approval)
3. Wear Resistance1) Lifetime is more than twice that of rubber bearings.
2) Sleeve wear is reduced because it is less aggressive to the mating
material than rubber bearings. (Reduced to less than 1/3 of rubber
bearings)
4. Easy Handling
1) The handling is much easier at light weight compared with handlingthe metal material, because reinforced plastic is used for the outershell. (about 1/4 weight of the copper outer shell)
2) In the same way as our rubber bearing “EVR”, it will fit closely withstern tube by outer shell material expansion from water absorption.
Therefore, there is no need to press fit to the Stern Tube and it canbe inserted into the stern tube by clearance fit.

Test Equipment of 300mm shaft Dia.

TAKECOAT Series-Great Wall for CorrosionTAKENAKA’s original coatings, TAKECOAT-1000, and
TAKECOAT-CERAMIC1 have excellent and unique property
which provides a lot of advantages for being used in harshenvironment of various fields/industries in the world.

Fluorocarbonpolymer Coating

TAKECOAT-1000● Resistance to rust and corrosion● Long term durability● Lubricity● Sustainable for even seawater and desert area
TAKECOAT-1000 is a fluorocarbon polymer surface treatment withpowerful anti-rusting, anti-corrosion properties. It was created by
combining precoating under treatment and fluorocarbon polymer coating
technologies to enhance the adhesion of the metal/film interface, andimpart anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties despite being thin. Because
TAKECOAT-1000 has a low fastening torque coefficient value, it prevents
contact corrosion between different types of metals.

TAKECOAT-CERAMIC1● Heat resistance up to 450℃
● Thermal shock resistance● Stable fastening
Created by combining base treatment technology with a uniquelydeveloped ceramic process for inorganic polymer, TAKECOAT-CERAMIC1
provides powerful heat resistance and long-term durability. The inorganic,
heat-resistant resin film is extremely thin, between 20 and 30μm, andbecause TAKECOAT-CERAMIC1 has lubricant properties, it does notcatch on screws and so provides favorable performance during fastening.

Danish2021
Maritime
The Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association signed amemorandum of understanding (MoU) with Danish Maritime on Sept.
2, 2022 toward a strong partnership in accelerating decarbonizationand promoting digitalization and autonomous ships. Danish Maritime
comprises some 150 Danish enterprises that design and construct
ships, provide ship machinery, equipment and relevant services andso forth.
In recent years, the maritime industry has been required to take
immediate actions to address climate change, such as the useof new fuels and the development of energy from offshore wind
power generation. Safe ship operations are now more strongly indemand at a time when the world is running short of seafarers. As
such, the hope is for the realization of autonomous ships with digitaltechnologies. As a framework of cooperation to this end between
economies advancing in maritime affairs, the governments ofJapan and Denmark have increased interchanges since signing amemorandum of cooperation on maritime affairs in 2017.
Taking advantage of the bilateral partnership agreement between
Tokyo and Copenhagen, JSMEA and Danish Maritime signed the
MoU to encourage their nations’ maritime industries, including
the ship machinery and equipment sector, to closely interchangewith each other, exchange information and so on in the fields ofdecarbonization and in particular digitalization.
JSMEA Chairman Kinoshita Shigeki gave an address at thesigning ceremony, expressing JSMEA ’s delight and pride in having
signed the MoU with Danish Maritime. He said the agreement would
be certain to encourage the Japanese and Danish maritime sectorsthat include the ship machinery and equipment industries to shareviews and information often on decarbonization and digitalization.
This, he concluded, will enhance their respective technologies,
supply excellent products that support ships around the world andcontribute to the growth of the global maritime industry and economy.
Danish Maritime CEO Jenny N. Braat retorted that the MoU
was an important step forward for the maritime industries of both
Denmark and Japan. Although they are distant geographically,

they are of one mind in making the global maritime industry more
conscious of climate change, she said, adding that by joining forcesin different ways, they can better help each other. Denmark andJapan take common responsibility but have different competitive
advantages, she continued. The CEO emphasized on behalf ofmember companies that she hopes for stronger partnerships with
their Japanese counterparts.
The signing ceremony was attended by some 30 individuals,
equally from Japan and Denmark, including officials from theJapanese Embassy in Denmark and the Danish Ministry ofForeign Affairs and Embassy in Japan who had provided help witharrangements for the conclusion of the MoU.
While in Denmark, JSMEA Chairman Kinoshita, Vice-Chairman
Kuzu Tomoo and Overseas Fishing Vessel Market Development
Working Group Leader Ueda Shuzo were joined by three member
companies to visit local organizations and enterprises. They shared
information and opinions on the up-to-date efforts being made inJapan and Denmark to achieve decarbonization and digitalization.
