50th Anniversary Ceremony
Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA)
celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. We held a commemoration
ceremony and a celebration gathering in Tokyo on June 17. During
the ceremony, letters of appreciation were offered to member
companies and The Nippon Foundation. Also, a memorial concert
was performed by a string quartet. The ceremony and gathering wereboth well attended. In June 1966, we began as The Ship Machinery
Manufacturers’ Association of Japan through a merger of three relevantorganizations.
In 1991, we merged with the Japan Ship Machinery External-Trade
Association and renamed ourselves Japanese Marine Equipment
Association. In 2012, we again changed our name to what we are
known as today.
To constantly provide customers in Japan and overseas withproducts of excellent quality, the Japanese ship machinery andequipment industry will deepen interchanges with other members of
the Japanese maritime cluster. We will also continue to expand our
global perspective, further differentiate our products from others andstrive hard to cultivate new markets.
On the final note, we have come this far, celebrating our 50th
anniversary, thanks to the caring advice and guidance from the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), The
Nippon Foundation, our member companies and relevant organizations
from around the world, all of whom has given us endless support since
our establishment. Here, we would like to express to them our deepest
appreciation.

JSMEA takes part in OTC 2016
Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association(JSMEA) participated in the Offshore Technology
Conference (OTC) 2016 through funding by The
Nippon Foundation. In partnership with INPEX Corp.,
16 member companies and others, it set up a Japan
pavilion, only for the second time, after a 47-year
absence from the event, which this year was heldin Houston, Texas on May 2-5. This was, however,the fourth time for JSMEA to make its presence at
the OTC, one of the largest international maritime
exhibitions in the world.
While it had been expected that the number ofvisitors would decrease significantly from a year
earlier due to the collapse in crude oil prices thatbegan last year, OTC 2016 ended up welcoming
68,000 visitors. It was the 15th highest attendancein the history of the international conference, whichstarted in 1969, according to the organizer, though
admittedly it was a notable drop from the 94,700
visitors in 2015. The organizer also unveiled that the
total area for exhibitions was 672,300 square feet,
which was the third largest in its history, indicatingthat there were again many exhibitors promoting theirproducts, services and other features, a situation thatremained nearly unchanged from the previous year.
During OTC 2016, JSMEA showcased machineryand equipment for offshore development that are
Japanese flags hoisted at Japan
pavilion after 47-year absencefrom OTC

made in Japan by its members, making full use of
the latest edition of its brochure for such products.
Members ran booths to market their respective
products and introduced their efforts made toward
offshore projects.
JSMEA also orchestrated the following peripheral
events while in Texas to attend OTC 2016.
(1) April 29: Mr. Masaharu Ono and Mr. Shoichi
Kitamura, vice-chairman and executive managing
director of JSMEA, respectively, led a delegation to

JSMEA conducts seminar in Indonesia
Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association(JSMEA) held a seminar in Jakarta, Indonesia on
Wednesday, July 27, 2016 to introduce Japanese
ship machinery and equipment products extensively
among potential customers in the Southeast Asian
economy.
It was JSMEA’s second seminar to be held inIndonesia; the first one was presented on March 4,
2014. From Japan, a group of some 80 individuals
from 27 JSMEA-affiliated enterprises took part in
the Indonesia-Japan Business Matching Forum,a project financially supported by The Nippon
Foundation. The group was led by Mr. Masaaki
Matsui, vice-president of JSMEA, and Mr. Jun
Kohno, director of the International Affairs Office at
the Shipbuilding and Ship Machinery Division of
the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism (MLIT)’s Maritime Bureau. From Indonesia,
meanwhile, a total of approximately 270 locals were
present. The group included a 188-strong delegationthat included Dr. Ridwan Djamaluddin, deputy
minister for infrastructure from the Coordinating
Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Resources andother governmental officials; those representing local
ship owners and shipbuilding companies; Sasakawa
fellows (see Note) and others. It was one of thelargest seminar events held by JSMEA worldwide.

After JSMEA's first seminar in Indonesia, Mr.
Joko Widodo assumed the nation’s presidency in
October 2014. Under his leadership, initiative waspushed to grow Indonesia into a maritime nation,
which included a package of policies for promoting
maritime business activities. As such, possibilities
are increasing that Jakarta will place orders fornewbuildings—par tly to clear up the issue of
overage ships that it has been troubled with forsome time now. To take advantage of such trends,
JSMEA returned to Indonesia to help parties fromthe Japanese maritime industry further reinforce
their relations with those from the Southeast Asian
country. JSMEA offered a similar event in Japanon Feb. 29 in partnership with the MLIT, to which
officials from the government of Indonesia wereinvited. The July seminar in Jakarta was intended
to accelerate JSMEA’s effor ts to deepen andstrengthen its friendship with the country.
Note: “Sasakawa fellows” refer to the students
who are studying at and have graduated from World
Maritime University (WMU) in Indonesia, receiving
scholarships from The Nippon Foundation. Its
scholarship programs have contributed to producing
many governmental officials, industry leaders andother influential people who are concerned withmaritime affairs in developing economies.

Upgrading work to Wärtsilä AIRGUARD Seal
Wärtsilä Japan Ltd. offer AIRGUARD seal upgrades for customers
to comply with the existing VGP requirement.
In December 2013,The United States EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) issued new VGP (Vessel General Permit)
guidelines, that all vessels over 24 meters in length entering theUnited States 3-nautical miles limit, must use EAL (Environmentally
Acceptable Lubricants) in all Oil-to-Sea interfaces unless technicallyinfeasible.

Wärtsilä Airguard and Wärtsilä Oceanguard seals meet thedefined regulatory prerequisites and that owners and operatorsof commercial vessels of over 79ft (24 metres), sailing within U.S.
waters with either of these Wärtsilä systems installed, are notrequired to change to an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL).
With the Wärtsilä Airguard and Wärtsilä Oceanguard propeller shaft
sealing systems there is no oil-to-sea interface.

AIRGUARD AFT SEAL DESIGN

EPA’s position summarizedContinued use of mineral oil with “Air space seal” is allowed
if;
1. An oil-to-sea interface does not exist in normal operationin seal design.
2. There is no reasonable possibility of oil leakage to the sea
in the case of system failure.

Wärtsilä AIRGUARD seal meets the EPA criteria andallows continued use of mineral oil in U.S. waters.

AIRGUARD PIPING DIAGRAM

What is an AIRGUARD seal?
◦ Separation between seawater and Oil / Air chambers achieves
no Oil-to-Sea interfaces◦ Automatic drain collection to an inboard drain collection unit.
(No oil contamination into sea)
◦ Automatic pressure control Keep minimum/constant load onseal rings all the time.

The Wärtsilä AIRGUARD seal was originally developed in 1988 andto date no lube oil leakage into the sea. There have been in excess of
200 upgrades to the Wärtsilä AIRGUARD without any lube oil leakage
into the sea.
Most conventional lip seal types can be upgraded to a Wärtsilä
AIRGUARD seal solution. The AIRGUARD is flexible in terms of
installation regarding space, piping arrangements, docking periods,
location and competitive pricing.
Further product enhancements are being introduced which
include the followings:◦ Simplified compact 3 seal arrangement◦ Integrated Auxiliaries control unit

FENIC Alpha Fuel Reformer
This revolutionary fuel reformer is specificallydeveloped for onboard use with efficiency and safety inmind. The device requires absolutely no energy input
because it uses our specially formulated fuel reforming
ceramic which releases totally safe yet just enoughlevels of ionizing radiation to break chemical bondsof complex hydrocarbons to propagate free radical
formations and effectively upgrades fuel components.
The material’s concentrated radioactivity is about
40% of the international limit for low-level radioactive
waste, which is disposable without any processing or
conditioning.
Although results vary depending on many variables,such as fuel type, weather, operational profile, and etc.,
the data collected by end users suggest, the device
provides respectable 3 to 5% of average fuel savings.
The device works particularly well with distillates like
MGO and MDO, and also relatively lighter residual
fuels like RMA and RMB to some extent. Vessels
spend more time operating their engines at low load
seem to enjoy more savings than those spend much of
their time steaming at MCR because increased lighter
components of the upgraded fuel improve combustion
efficiency more profoundly at lower load where thefuel efficiency is particularly low due to relatively highspecific fuel consumption.
The product is widely used not only for maritime
applications but also automotive, heavy machinery,ra i l ro a d , p owe r g e n e ra t i o n , a n d e t c . A s i t seffectiveness is tested and certified by all the relevant
ministries of Japan, potential interest parties frompublic sectors of eligible nations may also apply for the
Official Development Assistance from Japan to cover
the procurement cost.
Installation Guide(1) Please install FENIC Alpha in the FO supply
line, somewhere between the FO purifier andthe primary FO filter.
(2) Ideally, please install as closely as possible
to the engine inlet after the air separator, but
before the primary FO filter and not closer.
Remarks
Please install before the primary FO filter as well as
the FO pump.
Please check and confirm the following parameters:◦ Nominal/Maximum Flow Rate
◦ Fuel Temperature (Maximum 150'C)◦ Inlet Pressure (Maximum 1.0MPa)
If possible, please install after the air separator inorder to increase the chance of exposing the fuel incirculation to the ionizing radiation.
*If you have any questions, please feel free tocontact us at anytime as always.

Products for LNG Fueled Vessel andSolution for Environment-preservation
Overview

Since 1928, the year the Company founded, VOLCANO
has been playing an important role throughout theindustry with our combustion technology and related
engineering services for 88 years. VOLCANO has had
installed base of more than 15,000units. These products
cover as full range of marine boiler burners, including LNG
carrier main boilers as well as various types of auxiliary

boilers, waste-oil/bilge concentrators and shipboard
incinerators. The company’s Marine Use Products Lineup
have played an important role in powering, heating as wellas in preventing marine pollution from ship waste in every
aspect of the seagoing operation.
In 2016, VOLCANO launches two new products
for LNG Fueled vessel and is proposing solution forenvironmental preservation.

Products for LNG Fueled Vessel
1. Oil/Gas combination burner for auxiliary boiler “Vignis-mini”
This burner was designed and developed for the auxiliary boilers on LNG Fueled vessels and supports both oil
and gas. We developed this burner based on our experience with SFFG II burners used for the main boilers on
LNG carriers and with MJ burners as all automatic mini-jet burners used for composite boilers/auxiliary boilers.
Not only can this burner be configured for single-fuel combustion in both oil and gas applications, but it can also
be used for mixed combustion to help saving energy and reduce the impact on the environment.
Evaporation rate: For 1.0 to 3.0 t/h
Oil combustion capacity: 90 to 250 kg/h Gas combustion capacity: 74 to 206 kg/h
Combustion configuration: Oil / Gas mixed, single-fuel gas, single-fuel oil
Compatible fuel: HFO, MGO and LNG Fuel viscosity: Supports 700 cSt
2. Gas Combustion Unit “MECS-GCU”
This system safely incinerates and processes Boil Off Gas/BOG or Gas vaporized when bunkering on LNG
Fueled vessels. On LNG Fueled vessels, redundant BOG should be processed by incineration or reliquefaction.
Gas vaporized when bunkering should be processed for keeping safety. When docking a LNG Fueled vessel,
combustible gas in the fuel tank should be incinerated and replaced to inert gas.
Capacity: 250 to 2,400 kW
Combustion Rate: 18 to 173 kg/h
Gas Pressure: less than or at 0.7 Mpa Trip Temp. (High) of Exhaust Gas: 500℃
Exhaust Gas Temp.(Planned): 450℃

Solution for Environmental preservation
Waste-Oil/Bilge Concentrator “BILCON-X”
This system concentrates the bilge water efficiently using humidification and evaporation (low temperaturehumidification). It significantly reduces the unloading costs and hassles related to bilge water processing,making it a labor saving system. In addition, the humidification and evaporation method uses a completely
closed system and does not discharge any processed bilge water from the vessel, also helping reduce thevessel’s impact on the environment.
Processing capacity:1,000 to 3,000 kg/day
Heat source: Water temperature: 80°C Vapor (0.5 MPa sat °C) Heat-transfer oil (140°C)
