JSMEA participates in Rio Oil & Gas 2016,
MEF Engineering Technical Seminar
Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association(JSMEA) made its first presence at the Rio Oil & Gas
2016 exhibition. With financial support from The
Nippon Foundation, JSMEA, which had participated in
Marintec South America until 2015, took four member
companies to the international exhibition, which washeld in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Oct. 24-27, 2016.
Rio Oil & Gas had been organized extensively, using
a total of four exhibition halls in the last several years.
In 2016, however, it was scaled down to three halls,
taking into account recent adverse developments inthe offshore oil and gas development market.
Although slightly more compact, the Rio Oil & Gas
2016 venue hosted many enterprises from a wide
variety of business fields, such as upstream offshore
oil and gas developers (e.g., Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.,
or Petrobras and Royal Dutch Shell plc.), engineering
companies (e.g., Technip S.A. and GustoMSC B.V.)
and suppliers (e.g., Siemens AG, General Electric Co.,or GE and Wärtsilä Oyj Abp). In addition, Argentina,
China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway
and the U.K. ran national pavilions, respectively,
helping the event attract many visitors.
The Japan pavilion distributed copies of the catalog
of products for offshore development, which had been
produced by JSMEA, and other printed material on
products and services, which were nearly depleted byvisitors.
While in Brazil for the Rio and Oil & Gas 2016
trade fair, JSMEA sent a delegation for sideline
activities listed below in the first three date headings.
Mr. Masaharu Ono, vice-chairman of JSMEA andchairman of Fuji Trading Co., Ltd., led representatives
from three affiliated companies to gather up-to-date
local information and exchange views with relevant
firms and other parties. Leaving Brazil, the delegation
then flew to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) forthe project detailed below on the date listed in No. 4.

are important customers,” he said. “Japanese
ship machinery and equipment makers havealready developed sound relations with Taiwanesecustomers.” “In recent years, however, there havebeen no opportunities for Japanese ship machineryand equipment manufacturers to get together
with customers in Taiwan to exchange the latest
information and opinions,” the JSMEA chairman
continued. “As such, we are holding the first seminarin 23 years.”
Following Mr. Nakashima, remarks were made by
Mr. Kenneth Lee, chairman of the 21st Committeeof Taiwan Maritime Technician Seminar, theassociation of local ship owners that had madea notable contribution to the convening of theseminar. “A number of Taiwanese ship owners use
a lot of Japanese ship machinery and equipment
products, regardless of the age of their ships,” heclaimed. “I hope this seminar will allow both sides
to have technological interchanges and promote
improvements in product quality that lead tolowering accident rates and enhancing ship safety.
To this end, I would strongly like to have seminars
held in Taiwan more frequently.”

Chairman Nakashima gave an address at the
beginning of the seminar. “In Taiwan, the Japanese

“Viable Organism Analyzer” can detect number of
viable organisms in the ballast water with using a stain
reagent (FDA) and a detector. It can cover 2 categories ofBallast water discharge standard (D-2) which establishedby IMO. Other 3 categories are Fungi and these will beneeded to check at a laboratory. SATAKE’s test method“Pulse counting FDA” is one of analysis method and thetarget organism admitted by IMO.

“Viable Organism Analyzer” only takes 1 minute formeasurement. It also needs 10 minutes to stain Large
size organisms and 30 minutes to stain Small sizeorganisms by using reagent (FDA) for the preparation.
Test data has high correlation with microscope counts.
This Analyzer weight 5kg and can use backpack to carryonboard.
According to the guidelines for ballast water samplingin BWM Convention, port state in each country can
perform sampling and analyze ballast water discharge
to establish whether ship is in compliance or not with
the BWM Convention. Since United States Coast Guard(USCG) BWM Convention is equal with IMO D-2 fordischarge standard, “Viable Organism Analyzer” iseffective for analysis in United States.

Information on JSMEA members

More than century of experience leads
to innovative power
Niigata Power Systems is the only
manufacturer in the world which makes
both engines and azimuth Z-Pellers under
original design, without mergers andacquisitions.
With more than 100 years’ history,
Niigata is proud of its reliability andreputation among habour and terminal
tug and OSV operators across the world.
The Japan-headquar tered company
manufactures engines producing a totalof around 1m horsepower a year andnearly 5,000 units of Z-Pellers have beendelivered around the world. As an allround power system provider, it is also
involved in diesel engines, gas engines,
and gas turbines co-generation activity.

Recent projects include Japan’s first LNG dual fuel tug
Sakigake, which has been operating successfully since
September 2015, powered by Niigata’s 6L28AHX-DF engine
driving fixed pitch azimuth ZP-31s. This application for tugboats,
where significant and sudden load fluctuation could happen withthe resulting need to respond quickly, and where changeover
between gas and diesel modes is essential, even at full load,
is a world first. Several projects have been identified and areunderway for the environmentally friendly Niigata dual-fuelengines.
Niigata has also announced that its medium-speed V-type(12, 16, and 18 cylinders) diesel engines, providing 4,400kW6,600kW, have been developed to have a significantly lower
fuel consumption. These units are suitable for electric power
generation and large OSVs capable of 150-220 tonnes bollard
pull. Some orders have already been confirmed for these newengines.

SaveBlue:
The World’s Smallest EGCS
With electric and thermal energy technology as itscore competences, Fuji Electric (FE) has over 90 yearsof experience in providing innovative energy technology
solutions for a sustainable society. Now, taking its coretechnologies and expertise from land to sea, FE hasdeveloped SaveBlue, the world’s smallest exhaust gas
cleaning system (EGCS).

Fuji Electric’s Total Solution

SaveBlue is a new value-added solution for ships – an
optimal integration of FE’s proprietary and other products
and technologies. The most cost-effective way to comply withupcoming IMO emissions regulations in 2020, FE’s EGCS
solution consists of:

The world’s smallest SOx scrubber

At just 7m tall and 2m in diameter, FE’s scrubber is thefirst to use energy-efficient cyclone technology to remove
over 98% of SOx from a 10MW engine.

S-Keeper 7: a marine emissions
monitoring system

S-Keeper 7 (S-K7) is a modular analysis system that issuitable for on-board continuous emissions monitoring. Able
to analyse up to seven different gases, this high-end gas
analyser is compliant with IMO regulations and has beencertified as per RINA Rules, Pt. C, Ch. 3, Sec. 6; Lloyd’s
Register Test Spec. 1; and DNV Standard for Certification 2.4.
The SOx scrubber

S-Keeper 7

A laser gas analyser (under development)

One-tenth the size of a conventional sampling analyser, FE’s laser gas analyser is an alternative to
S-Keeper 7. It can continuously monitor and measure both SO₂ and CO₂, as well as provide an analysis inseconds.

An electrostatic precipitator (under development)

It removes dust from exhaust gases while minimizing pressure loss.
With open- and closed-loop operation modes, this EGCS allows continued use of heavy fuel oil (HFO).
Its compact size makes it suitable for both retrofitting and new builds, saving space and costs.
In 2015, FE conducted a land-based test to achieve further downsizing and optimized control. This test
and resulting developments were made possible with the support of The Nippon Foundation.
