IHIMU completes Handymax bulk carrier ETERNAL TRIUMPH
IHI Marine United Inc. delivered
the Future 56 (F56) type Handymax
bulk carrier, ETERNAL TRIUMPH(HN: 3331) to Clio Marine Inc. at its
Kure Shipyard on September 25,
2012.
The Future 56 type was developed
for the flexible operation in worldwide
trade. The vessel has five cargo holds,
equipped with four deck cranes that
can handle various cargoes such ascoal, ore, grain, steel products, etc.
The electronically controlled main
engine (Flex Engine) is installed toachieve superior economical ship operation. The engine can control combustion conditions regardless of theloading condition by adjusting fuelinjection and exhaust valves at suitable timing. These mechanisms enhance saving of fuel oil consumption
and reduction of emissions.
IHIMU designed the vessel with its
sophisticated technology such as CFD
analysis, 3D-FEM ship-model analy-

sis, walk-through simulation, andapparatus installation simulation utilizing CIM system “Ajisai” that
IHIMU developed. These technologies
help achieve good propulsion performance, economical operation, andgood maneuverability.

MHI completes 8,000GT cargo and passenger ferry, FERRY NAMINOUE
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
(MHI) delivered the FERRY
NAMINOUE, an 8,000GT-class cargoand passenger ferry to the co-owners,
Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency and A
Line Ferry Co., Ltd. on September 19,
2012.
The ferry was designed and built
at the Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works of MHI and is now plying a domestic route between
Kagoshima and Okinawa.
The two engine and single screw
propulsion system is adopted to savefuel oil consumption and reduce CO2
emission. This propulsion system ensures redundancy in the event of main
engine trouble.
The ferry can load vehicles onto theinternal cargo space and 10ft containers on the forward exposed deck in twotiers. Such containers can also be
loaded on the internal cargo spacewith a forklift. Four types of passenger cabins are available, including
Japanese style and disabled facilities.

All public andbarrier-free facilities are on Deck 4
provided with an
entrance, restaurant, salon, gift
shop and external promenade
deck, so that passengers have access to those facilities from their cabins.
This ship has the innovative Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System(MALS) for the first time on a ferry ofa slender hull form. MALS is MHI’s
proprietary technology that reduces
frictional resistance between the ship
hull and seawater by introducing alayer of air bubbles blown from theship’s bottom.

Universal completes 205,000DWT bulk carrier, SHIN SUMA
Universal Shipbuilding Corporation delivered the SHIN SUMA, a
205,000DWT bulk carrier, at the Tsu
Shipyard on August 29, 2012. The
vessel is designed to carry bulk coaland iron ore between Asia and Australia more efficiently, and have flexibility for port restrictions. This is theseventh vessel of the new design se-ries of Newcastle-max that is the mostefficient as a shallow draft vessel andhas a large cargo hold capacity.
The vessel has double side skin construction of the cargo holds to reduce
flooding risk caused by side damage
and improve cargo handling. Despite
this construction, the cargo capacity
is equivalent to that of previous single skinned Newcastle-max series.
Furthermore, the
new IMO rule,
PerformanceStandards forProtective Coatings (PSPC) forwater ballast
tanks, is fully applied to the vesselin order to ensure
better paint quality.
The vessel isequipped with high propulsion-efficiency and energy-saving devices,
SSD and Surf-Bulb. In addition, thebow above the waterline is shaped as
the Ax-Bow that can decrease added
wave resistance at sea.
Deck machinery such as windlasses and mooring winches and hatch
covers are driven by electric-motor
systems for oil leak prevention on thedeck.

Sanoyas completes Handy Cape bulk carrier KITAURA
Sanoyas Shipbuilding Corp. delivered the 119.363DWT Handy Capebulk carrier KITAURA to its owner
Green Spanker Shipping, S. A. on
August 28, 2012. The vessel was constructed at the Sanoyas Mizushima
Shipyard.
The KITAURA is the seventh of theSanoyas 120,000DWT-type Handy
Cape bulker series. This is a sophisticated new vessel combining large
deadweight with shallow draft, anticipating trade expansion for coal andiron ore in the future market. The vessel with wide beam and shallow draft
can clear the restrictions of some ports
for large bulk carriers and has been
named ‘Handy Cape’ because this ismost flexible of Cape size bulk carriers.
The improved propulsion efficiencyof the vessel is achieved by a low-speed
and long-stroke main engine combined with a high-efficiency propeller,
and the Sanoyas energy saving device
called “STF” (Sanoyas-Tandem-Fin(patent): max. 6% energy saving) on
the stern shell, which also contributes
to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
This vessel applies the Common
Structural Rules (CSR) of the Inter-national Association of Classification
Societies. Considering protection of
the environment, various countermeasures such as fuel oil tanks withdouble hull structures, a holding tankfor accommodation discharges anddirty hold bilge, and independent bilge
segregation system for the engine
room are incorporated.
For efficient cargo handling, cargo
hatches are widened as much as possible and are the same width from No.
1 to No. 7 hatches. Dedicated freshwater tanks are provided for storinghold washing water generated by alarge capacity type fresh water generator. In addition, a special fuel oil
heating system is applied to fuel oil
storage tanks to avoid cargo damage
by overheating and save steam consumption.
The wooden
furniture in theaccommodation
provides comfort
for the officers
and crew andsafe maneuverability isachieved withthe organized ar-rangement and rear visibility in thewheelhouse.

Shin Kurushima completes asphalt carrier, TASCO AMARIT
Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co. Ltd.
has completed construction of the7,532DWT asphalt carrier, TASCOAMARIT (HN: 5698), at the Shin
Kurushima Hashihama Dockyard.
The vessel has been built by adopting an independent cargo tank system
combined with a facility that is required for carrying cargo asphalt at asuitable temperature during trans-

port.
The latest technology is used for thevessel, which includes A.S. Fin, Turboring, and K3-propeller. These eco-propulsion devices developed by Shin
Kurushima demonstrated superior
propulsion performance, which was
verified at the sea trial. The main engine and diesel generators comply with
the MARPOL Annex VI Tire 2 requirements. Thus, thevessel is also designed to copewith reducing theload on the environment.
The vessel satisfies the MLC
2006 requirements for facili-ties, which were designed for comfortable onboard life of the crew and provided with improved accommodation
environment.
