New ISO standards from Japan

SSAP's achievements to set ISO standards in autumn 2018
1. Introduction—what SSAP targets

To realize safe and efficient ship operations, it
is important to produce outputs from application
services that gather a large volume of sailing, engine,
hull, meteorological, hydrographic and other data andorganically combine and use these data. Currently,
however, it is not easy to develop such mechanisms due
to barriers that stand between different manufacturers,
systems and devices, and the large amount of labor andcosts.

Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association(JSMEA) has been proceeding with technologicaldevelopment, running the Ship Smart Application
Platform (SSAP) under its umbrella. The SSAP consistsof JSMEA members; shipping, shipbuilding and ICT
companies; and a classification society. Assuming
information integration with related systems of otherfields of business, the SSAP has developed on-board
and ship-to-shore information infrastructure to realize
information sharing between on-board devices/systems
and various application services. By testing various
prototypes on board vessels actually operated, it has
made clear specifications and performances requiredof them and raised their completion levels. Based onachievements that it has made through its activities, inaddition, it has striven to set international standards for
systems that a ship can share information when at sea.

2. Outline of SSAP

2.1 Purposes of research
The on-board and on-shore application services
listed below that use data from navigational instruments,
engines and other ship machinery and equipment havebecome gradually popular in recent years.
i) Weather routing;ii) Optimum trim;iii) Performance monitoring;iv) Engine monitoring; andv) Remote maintenanceSmart Ship Application Platform 2 Project
The concept of smart navigation systems is to realize
safe and efficient ship operations by making use of theseapplication services. To this end, the SSAP provides
support to make it easier for application services toaccess data from on-board devices so that many services
will be available.
To make effective use of measured data and event
data from on-board devices, it is important for navigation,engine, hull and other data to be time-synchronized,
collectively managed and accessed.
The SSAP has commodified data that are timesynchronized by on-board and on-shore data servers, and

2.2 Outline of SSAP
The SSAP has carried out activities in two phases.

2even allowed access to them by standardizing data whennecessary.
By standardizing data shared by data servers,
application program interfaces (APIs) between shipmachinery and equipment and data servers, and APIs
between application services and systems, it will be easierto provide application services and reduce costs fordeveloping interfaces.

JSMEA + ClassNK
1. Design specification of shipboard data server
2. Implementation of shipboard data server and trial
3. Ship-shore open platform design for ship IOT
4. Proposed 2 ISO NPs (ISO NP19847 / ISO NP19848)

1. Marketing & promotion of the open platform concept
2. System design and prototyping of open platform
3. Standardization – ISO/FDIS 19847 / ISO/FDIS 19848
4. Development of Data catalogue
5. Public relations

3. From R&D projects to business development

The SSAP has been advancing technologicaldevelopment and international standardization so thatdata from ship machinery, equipment and systems will be
used in various application services.
Using international standards will provide advantages
to business operators that want to use data, includingship owners and shipbuilders. For example, costs canbe reduced for collecting data from ships by adopting
standardized technologies, and it will be possible tochoose optimum application programs.
Meanwhile, using data will enable not only ship
operators, but also shipyards, manufacturers, nonlife insurers, ship owners, port-state-control (PSC)
authorities, researchers and classification societies,
to make innovations for improving ship safety andperformance. As a project to maximize advantages bymaking the entire maritime cluster use data, Ship Data
Center Co., Ltd. (ShipDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), set up an Internet of Ships
Open Platform (IoS-OP) in May 2018. The platform has
created a dictionary of data that comply with ISO/FDIS
19848, an achievement made by the SSAP, and launcheda service for standardizing different data names forexisting vessels and provide them to users. As a service

for application service providers, the SSAP is advancing
the development of a test bed to allow on-board servers
complying with ISO/FDIS 19847, another achievement
made by the platform, to collect data from ship machineryand equipment, to transmit them to the overland data
center, ShipDC, via communication satellites, and to makeconnection tests through APIs.

4. Future activities

The ongoing SSAP2 is scheduled to end in September
2018. As such, JSMEA intends to set up a new group to
study the proposals listed below that Japan has made in
respect to smart shipping.
i) Standardizing test methods of ISO/FDIS 19847;
ii) Revision of ISO 16425;
iii) Testing & inspection methods of ISO 16425;
iv) Enhancing cyber security of ISO/FDIS 19847; andv) Ship-shore data communication
JSMEA will continue to make international contributions
by making the most of Japan’s regional characteristics,
where one of the greatest shipping, shipbuilding, shipmachinery and equipment industries in the world, as
well as one of the world’s largest classification societies
huddle together, and by promoting efforts to ensure shipsafety and protect the natural environment at sea.

JSMEA makes presence at OTC 2018

JSMEA makes presence at OTC 2018
Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA)
attended the 2018 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in
Houston, Texas on April 30-May 3 as a project financially supportedby The Nippon Foundation. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018,
OTC is the world’s largest international conference and exhibition
organized for the offshore development business. This was JSMEA’s
sixth time attending OTC since 2013.
From JSMEA, Mr. Shinzo Yamada, chairman; Mr. Masaharu
Ono and Mr. Shigeki Kinoshita, vice-chairmen; and Mr. Shigeharu
Oda, leader of the Offshore Development Strategy Review Board,
took 11 of its affiliated companies to OTC. JSMEA members werejoined again by their regular partners: INPEX Corporation; the Japan
Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC);
Japan Drilling Co. Ltd. (JDC); Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National
Corporation (JOGMEC); and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK).
Including a new member, JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration
Corporation, the delegation of 17 enterprises and organizations
erected the Japan Pavilion where it conducted sales and marketing
activities together with compatriot upstream enterprises and otherparties engaged in offshore development.
OTC 2018 welcomed a total of 61,300 visitors. Although thenumber was smaller than last year, when 64,700 people came to theconference, more than 2,300 exhibitors from 44 countries created amuch brighter, vibrant atmosphere in the venue, taking advantageof recent recoveries in oil prices.
When a survey was conducted among exhibitors at the Japan
Pavilion, all answered they had more visitors and businessnegotiations than they had at OTC 2017.
On April 30, or Day 1 of OTC 2018, 73 representatives fromexhibitors, organizations and other members of the Japan Pavilion
met for a networking event and rally. During the event, JX Nippon
Oil and Gas Exploration gave a seminar on offshore development
projects, while the attendees were active in exchanging information.
On May 1, a ceremony was held by The Nippon Foundation at
the Hotel Zaza to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on
the establishment of an international cooperation program for thedevelopment of marine energy (petroleum and natural gas). To build
relations with offshore developers and relevant parties from othereconomies, JSMEA organized a lunch reception—with financial
assistance from the foundation—that was joined by some 110
individuals.
In the evening of the same day, JSMEA organized a networking
reception at Minute Maid Park, at which approximately 200 people
from the offshore development industry mingled and deepened
relationships. As the association held a reception at the ballpark,
the home field of the Houston Astros, for three consecutive years,
the Major League baseball team told it to throw out a first pitch
before a home game. Mr. Yohei Sasakawa, chairman of The Nippon
Foundation, threw the first pitch at the game played on the day with
the New York Yankees, on behalf of the JSMEA delegation.
On May 4, JSMEA held a get-together with some 20 individuals
from Japanese ship owners doing business in Houston and otherparties.
During OTC 2018, bookings were accepted for space at
OTC 2019. JSMEA reserved a 300-square-foot (approximately
28-square-meter) space at NRG Center, where the United Kingdom,
Norway, the Netherlands and other major offshore developer
nations will gather for national pavilions. Now, it intends to host two

Japan pavilions next year: one in the space at NRG Center and one(approximately 300 square meters) at NRG Arena. This year, theJapan Pavilion was only located at the arena.
JSMEA’s Offshore Development Strategy Review Board, which
has the Mobile Units and Support Vessel working groups under its
umbrella, will continue to evaluate the current fiscal activities of theassociation and discuss how it will use the spaces in the main hall
at OTC 2019.

Plate Heat Exchanger with Power Generation

New solution in waste heat power generation to an Ecologically Friendly World
Structure

Plate heat exchangers (PHE) are equipment
for transferring heat between hot and cold fluid
through heat transfer plates. In addition to this heatexchange function, a PHE with power generation
has a zone to generate electricity by temperature
difference between hot and cold fluid.
The power generation zone consists of plateswith thermoelectric modules and plates withspacers that form flow channels stacked alternately.
The thermoelectric module integrates multiple
thermoelectric elements that generate electromotive
force through Seebeck effect, while the spacers on
the plates simultaneously promote heat transfer
to the thermoelectric modules by increasing the
turbulence in the fluids through the flow channels.

Features1. Utilize the fluids in PHE as energy source forgenerating electricity.
2. Simple configuration where only the plateswith thermoelectric modules and the plateswith spacers are added to an existing PHE. No
increase in PHE’s footprint.
3. Easy installation due to its lightweight andcompactness.
The capacit y var ies depending on thetemperature difference between the hot and cold
fluid, (ex.5W at 100°C per module). The total
capacity will vary depending on the number ofthermoelectric modules that are mounted on theplates.

Expected Applications

Background

Power generation capacity

PHE with power generation can be applied
to waste heat from the engine cooling system
of marine vessels. By simply adding plates withthermoelectric modules to a central cooler, it ispossible to obtain electricity that can contribute to
the introduction of IoT to vessel engines powering
electronic devices.

※ PHE with Power Generation is jointly
developed by Chiyoda Corporation,
Hisaka Works, Ltd., and Panasonic
Corporation.

Smart Digital Tuner Worldwide (KST-1000-W)

In the field of terrestrial TV broadcasting,a wor ldwide shift is underway from analog
broadcasting to digital broadcasting, but
broadcasting standards for terrestrial digital
broadcasting are not uniform throughout the world,
and the various standards include the Japanesesystem (ISDB-T), Brazilian system (ISDB-TB),
European system (DVB-T), second generation
European system (DVB-T2), American system(ATSC), and Chinese system (DTMB). Therefore,
in order to view terrestrial TV on ships travelingto various countries throughout the world, it has
been necessary to prepare receivers (TVs ortuners) compatible with the different terrestrial
digital broadcasting standards at each port ofcall. In addition, even if TVs or tuners compatible
with the standards of each country are prepared,t ro u bl e s o m e p ro c e d u re s
have been necessary whenviewing with a single TV, suchas preparing multiple devices
and switching the wiring eachtime.
To enable ship-owners
to improve enter tainment
equipment and reduce theburden on ship crew underthese conditions, Kyokuyo Electric has developed
a terrestrial digital tuner enabling reception of
all terrestrial digital broadcasting standards
with a single device

Fuel Gas Supply System for ME-GI Engines /High Pressure Pump
A high pressure pump and a high pressure gas
compressor are generally used for LNG carriers
propelled by ME-GI engine. (Fig.1) Therefore, Mitsui
E&S Machinery Co., Ltd. (MES-M) developed ahigh pressure reciprocating pump (HP pump) using
a hydraulic drive system for fuel gas supply systems(FGSS) used on LNG vessels.(Fig.2) HP pump wasdeveloped in collaboration with Kaji Technology
Corporation Co., Ltd, which is our subsidiarycompany HP pump has already been commenced
sales from April, 2017.
As a distinctive feature of developed HP pump,cylinders are controlled by each motor. The adoptionof this mechanism for the new pump designmeans that HP pump can ensure redundancy
with one cylinder as a spare in addition to thecylinders for normal operation. With conventional
crank-type pumps, it is necessary to have anadditional complete set of pump in order to ensure
redundancy because all cylinders are controlled by

one motor. Therefore, the initial cost of HP pump islower than that of conventional crank-type pumps.
Moreover, HP pump can discharge LNG flow ratein the wide range by controlling the cycle speed of
HP pump with each motor. In addition, the lifetimeof consumable parts in HP pump is longer thanthat of conventional crank-type pumps because
the cycle speed of HP pump is slower than that ofconventional crank-type pumps.
A performance test of HP pump using LNG at
Tamano Works (MES-M) was completed in March2017. It was confirmed that HP pump could supply
stable LNG discharge pressure and flow rate to
ME-GI engine. Moreover, MES can perform a
combined test conducted with ME-GI engine andHP pump at our test facility. Therefore, HP pump
can be provided which has completed PID setting
and a response test with ME-GI engine, etc. before
onboard test.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment andWartsila to collaborate on improved power and propulsion solution
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery& Equipment Co., LTD (MHI-MME) and the smart
technology group Wartsila have signed a Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MOU) regarding the commercial marketingof a new energy solution for ships which combines
innovative technologies from both companies to produce
greater power generation capacity and higher propeller
propulsion for marine vessels. Integration of MHI-MME’s
waste heat recovery and energy saving power generation
system (WHRS) with Wartsila’s operational control
technology for shaft generator systems will achieve moreenergy efficient ship navigation and improved Energy
Efficiency Design Index (EEDI).
A notable innovation is the combination of a powertake off/take in (PTO/PTI) shaft generator system with
WHRS to improve the stability of the WHRS. Dependingon the load of the main engine and the ship’s network, the
WHRS sometimes produces electrical energy in excessof that needed by the network. Such energy can beutilised via the PTO/PTI generator to drive the propeller
shaft. The surplus energy can be used to assist the ship’s
drive under full load by direct application to the propeller
shaft. The WHRS can be operated in parallel with adiesel generator set under low main engine load. Parallel
operation with a shaft generator via PTO operation is

also easily implemented. The patented design connects
the WHRS generator into the DC link circuit of the PTO/
PTI shaft generator rather than directly into the main
circuits. This allows operation of the WHRS at reduced
speed to create higher efficiency of the turbine system
under part load. This avoids the necessity of speed
regulation valves, which cause throttle or bypass losses.
MHI-MME has various energy saving technologies which
are all adaptable for this new solution. One example isintegration with MHI-MME’s power turbine generator
which enables supply of electricity across a range fromapproximately 500 to 2,000 kilowatts (kW), driven by gas
extract-ed from a 2-stroke main engine, via the PTO/PTI
generator.
MHI-MME’s solutions have previously consistedof waste heat recovery systems and Organic Rankin
Cycle (ORC) systems, which are small-scale binary
power generation systems that efficiently recover anduse extremely low-temperature heat sources. These
applications have pri-marily focused on large container
ships. Now, with addition of the latest solution, MHI-MME
will offer an even wider array of energysaving solutions forships that have conventionally employed shaft generators,
to help them comply with the more stringent environmental
regulations to go into effect in the near future.

FiTS2
FiTS2, a new technology development by ABB
Turbocharging, brings to the marine industry unique levelsof fuel savings and flexibility.
FiTS2 stands for “Flexible integrated Turbocharging
System for 2-Stroke Engines”. With FiTS2, operators oflarge marine applications running two-stroke engines canbenefit from maximum fuel savings at part and low load,
while maintaining highest flexibility to go to full output
immediately.

FiTS2 denotes a complete, integrated turbocharging
system that consists of sequential turbochargers ofdifferent specifications and wide compressor maps. As
the name suggests, two or more turbochargers operate
in sequence with complementary air delivery at different
engine loads. The turbochargers are controlled by
specially developed FiTS2 tuning software, combined withdedicated, flow optimized valves that can operate underfull load.

Solution for keeping Blue Sky

Since the regulation for environment on exhaust(eg:IMO Tier-3) is becoming strictly, utilizing
LNG is focused as a solution for environmental
conservation.
Using LNG as a vessel's fuel is effective for
reducing NOx/SOx/CO 2 . CH 4 , which is main
component of BOG, is 25 times more potent than
CO 2 for global warming, so we think reducing
CH 4 emission into the atmosphere is effective
for preventing global warming. To reduce CH 4
emission, our combustion technology makes it
possible to process CH4 without emitting into theatmosphere.

Advantage of Gas/Oil ‘Simultaneous Mixed
Combustion’A burner just switching Gas/Oil burners, which
is Gas/Oil Single-fuel combustion burners, cannot
process BOG containing much N2 and Inert Gas

Gas and Oil simultaneously : ‘Simultaneous
Mixed Combustion’ can process BOG containing
much N2 and Inert Gas, therefore Boiler/Burner
could be used as a GCU. ‘Simultaneous Mixed
Combustion’ can help saving energy and reducing
the environmental load because the Boilers which
