such, the local shipping and shipbuilding industries
are both expected to grow in the future. Before theconclusion of the MoU, therefore, JSMEA member
companies had begun seeing them as promisingmarkets. For its part, JSMEA organizes several
seminars a year in Southeast Asia to introduce thelatest products and technologies by the Japanese
ship machinery and equipment industry to local
ship owners, who are either customers or potential
customers. This way, it promotes the industry
and strives to enhance relations with overseas
customers through dialogs with ship owners’
associations in other economies.
The Southeast Asia Maritime Summit, heldin Tokyo in April 2018 during Sea Japan 2018,attracted top executives from ship owners’
associations in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines,
Indonesia and Singapore. JSMEA and the Ministryof Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism(MLIT) ran panel discussions to study challenges
facing Southeast Asian countries as well as MOU
and other means to foster partnerships.
JSMEA had already established amicable
relations with ship owners’ associations inSoutheast Asian nations, but to further strengthen
its friendship with them and to promote regular
information and other exchange, it had decided tosign the memoranda.
The MoU that JSMEA signed with theassociations of Malaysian, Thai and Filipino shipowners are designed to encourage the partners to(1) exchange information on recent developments
in technologies of their nations’ maritime industries,(2) promote interchange between their member
companies, and (3) pay mutual visits to carry out
the activities described in (1) and (2), and enhancetheir bilateral relations.
The JSMEA held a total of three signingceremonies for the MOU, the first on Feb. 26,
2019 as a sideline event of a ship machinery andequipment seminar that it held in Malaysia, during
which it reached an agreement with the Malaysia
Shipowners’ Association (MASA).
A t t h e M a l ays i a n c e re m o n y, M r. S h i n z oYamada, chairman of JSMEA, gave an address toemphasize the organization’s hope that the MOU
would lead to reinforcing the relations between

Japan and Malaysia. It will in the future upgrade thepartnership and promote mutual interchange, he
added.
The second ship machinery and equipment
seminar that the JSMEA had ever held in Malaysia
was a great opportunity for local ship owners to
obtain information on Japanese manufacturers,
Dato’ Ir. Abdul Hak Md Amin, chairman of MASA,
said in reply. Currently, addressing environmental
issues is one of its major challenges, such as
controlling exhaust gas and managing ballast
water, he continued. The chairman would like
JSMEA to continue to provide help and makecontributions to Malaysian ship owners for them toovercome the challenge through information andtechnologies provided by Japanese makers, so that
the Malaysian shipping business will grow further.
Also at the signing ceremony, the chairmen
exchanged commemorative gifts. It was witnessedby the approximately 100 attendees, who had
also attended the ship machinery and equipment
seminar.
On Feb. 28, 2019, an MOU was signed with theThai Shipowners’ Association (TSA). Mr. Yamada
stated at the signing ceremony that JSMEA
and compatriot ship machinery and equipment
manufacturers will both actively provide ship owners
as well as other customers and potential customers
in Thailand with the latest information and cuttingedge technologies.

Many of the vessels in operation in Thailand
are secondhand vessels imported from Japan,
said Mr. Bhumindr Harinsuit, chairman of the TSA,
stressing that local ship owners, therefore, havebeen familiar with Japanese ships and machineryand equipment for a long time. With enhancements
in international environmental regulations andother rules, ships operated in Thailand need to takeenvironmental and other actions, said the chairman.
It is necessary to have cooperation from Japanese
ship machinery and equipment makers to this end,
he continued, adding that the TSA would like tomaintain its partnership with JSMEA to promotemutual interchanges.
The signing ceremony was attended by five
representatives from the TSA, seven from JSMEA
and guests.

Shipowners Association (FSA), the Philippine
Interisland Shipping Association (PISA) and thePhilippine Petroleum Sea Transport Association(PHILPESTA).

Mr. Dario Roy Alampay, Jr., chairman of the FSA,
applauded the ceremony, claiming it was held at
the right time. The Philippines is now in the process
of modernizing its maritime transport system, hesaid. As such, shipowners in the Philippines want
to renew their fleet to enhance the performanceand safety of general cargo freighters, ferries andother components. The chairman added that heis well-aware of the high quality of Japanese shipmachinery and equipment as well as the makers’
after-sales services. Mr. Alampay said he said
that Japanese ship machinery and equipment
manufacturers will continue to give information andoffer up technologies to help the Filipino maritime
industry reach higher levels.
At the ceremony, nine from JSMEA hosted 21
partners from the Philippines and others.
JSMEA is determined to hold an event every year
for each of the organizations in Malaysia, Thailand
and the Philippines, respectively, with whom it
signed MOU in order to update them on information
for the latest products and technologies from theJapanese ship machinery and equipment industry
and to maintain and deepen its relations with them.

E-series Kawasaki Rexpeller, Azimuth Thruster
1.Preface

Azimuth thrusters are equipped in tugboats and work boats that
require high thrust and high maneuverability. Rexpeller is a trademarkof Kawasaki’s azimuth thrusters and more than 1,000 units including a
retractable and underwater mounting type have been delivered not only
for the aforementioned ships but also for shuttle tankers and drill ships
since 1983. For this time, Kawasaki developed the new Rexpeller model
named “E-series” to meet strong demands of customers (Fig. 1).

2.Features

The new Rexpeller, E series, has three key features (3E’s) thatare excellent energy savings through improvements of propulsive
performance, easier onboard maintenance, and environmentally friendly
performance.
1) Energy saving
Kawasaki has achieved reduction of energy consumption of up to 7%
compared to the conventional series by developing a high-performanceand compact propeller duct (Kort nozzle), and optimizing the lower gearcase, based on the latest fluid analysis (Fig. 2).
2) Easy maintenance
Kawasaki made maintenance operations inside the ship easierby reworking the entire structure of the integrated hydraulic clutch. In
addition, expansion of inboard maintenance space, flexible hull design,and easier installation have been achieved by arranging the adjacent
auxiliaries compactly around the upper gearbox.
3) Environmentally friendly
The use of a high-quality fluororubber (FKM) propeller shaft seal
ensures high reliability and reduces the risk of ocean pollution via oilleakages. A monitoring function of the propeller shaft and steering seal isavailable as an option.

3.Enhanced Usability

Fig. 3 Control touch panel

Fig. 4 Control lever

Enhanced usability and ergonomic design are adopted for the control
system in the bridge and it has been jointly developed with Nabtesco
Corporation.
For enhanced usability, the control system is designed to manipulate
the vessels intuitively and easily with arranging the sophisticated touch
panel (Fig. 3).
Advanced functional design supported by ergonomic technologies is
adopted for the control lever to manipulate both the thrust direction andengine speed (Fig. 4).
KICS (Kawasaki Integrated Control System) that enables advanced
maneuvering of ships such as DP (Dynamic positioning) is also available
as an option. KICS has been adopted for the control system of Rexpellerand side thrusters and responding to the needs of various kinds of work
vessels.

SASAKURA Energy Saving
Fresh Water Generator series WX
1. Introduction

Since its foundation in 1949, SASAKURA has steadily accumulated special
technological expertise as the leading manufacturer of fresh water generator formarine use.
SASAKURA’s fresh water generator is well known in all over the world
because of its energy-saving design to make fresh water, using the waste heatof the jacket cooling water of the diesel engine to evaporate the sea water underhigh vacuum.
In recent years, waste heat from diesel engines has decreased as ship energysaving progresses, and the heat source for fresh water generator has tended to
be insufficient.
Meanwhile, with the anticipated increase in demand for fresh water due to thevarious environmental regulations, this time SASAKURA has developed a more
efficient and compact type Energy Saving Fresh Water Generator series WX,
corresponding to the change. (Figure 1)
The series WX, a next generation fresh water generator, achieves higher
efficiency and compactness with simple operation and easy maintenance, similar
to fresh water generator series X which many ship crews have been familiar with.

Figure 1 Energy Saving Fresh Water
Generator series WX

2. Features of the series WX① Almost double the desalination efficiency of the series X
The same capacity of fresh water with a half energy
consumption, compared with the series X② Hinge-type turning heater for easier maintenance &inspection(Figure 2)③ Easy replacement from existing unit
Split Type to carry in the ship easily (option)
