The Ship of The Year 2015 award goesto sister car ferries, Izumi and Hibiki

The Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE) holds a yearly competition tocommend Japanese-built ships notable with technical, aesthetic and social aspects, and has selected sevencandidate vessels for this year’saward, the 26th such commendation
since its start.
The society’s meetings to decide on
and announce the choice for the Shipof The Year 2015 award were held on
Tuesday, May 31, and selected the sister car ferries IZUMI and HIBIKI.
On the same occasion, Japan’s first
LNG-fired tugboat SAKIGAKE wasawarded a special technical prize, anddivisional category awards were given
to the MILLAU BRIDGE (largecargoship category), the NATORI(small cargoship category) and theKOYO M A RU
NO. 88 (fishingboat/work vesselcategory).
The prize giving ceremony
was held on
Thursday, July 7
as a joint eventby three maritime technical societies
including The Japan Institute of Marine Engineering (the Marine Engineering of the Year award) and theJapan Institute of Navigation (Contribution to Navigation award) in addition to JASNAOE).

Awardees by categories
Special Technical Prize
SAKIGAKE

constructed by Imabari Shipbuilding
Co., Ltd. for Cypress Maritime, S.A.
(See SEA-Japan No. 371)

Japan’s first LNG-fired tugboat
SAKIGAKE is powered by a dual fuelengine system. When running on
LNG, the environmentally friendly

JMU completes G-Series Dunkirkmax bulk carrier, CHOULLY

Japan Marine United Corporation(JMU) delivered an 182,000DWT bulkcarrier at its Tsu Shipyard on April
20, 2016. This is the 14th vessel of the“G-Series” of Dunkirkmax bulk carrier, called G182BC. JMU previously
built the G-Series Newcastlemax andPanamax bulk carriers, and this

G182BC is the third ship type of theG-Series.
The G182BC type has succeededin drastically decreasing fuel oil consumption by using various and comprehensive measures for energy-saving, and the Energy Efficiency DesignIndex (EEDI) is much improved.
The G182BCtype has been developed based on
the expertise andvast experience ofJMU. SSD (SuperStream Duct) andSurf-Bulb (Rudder
F i n w it h B u lb)
equipped fore andaft of the propeller,
respectively, much

pulsion performance. Furthermore,
the unique bow shape of LEADGE
Bow can decrease additional resistance in waves, and well-refined shapeof the superstructure has low wind resistance.
In addition, the low level EEDI,
ballast water treatment system, andcompliance with the MARPOL NOx
Tier-II are important environmentallyfriendly features of the vessel.

Kawasaki delivers LNG Carrier, LNG FUKUROKUJU

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
has delivered the LNG carrier, LNG
FUKUROKUJU (HN: 1712), to The
Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. andMitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. on June 17,
2016.
The LNG FUKUROKUJU is theMoss-type LNG carrier with almost
the same hull size with that of the existing 147,000m3 type LNG carriers,
enabling good ship-shore compatibility with major LNG terminals
throughout the world, but also allowing passage through the New Panama
Canal.
The cargo tank capacity of the LNG
FUKUROKUJU is greater by morethan 17,700m3 from that of the existing 147,000m3 type LNG carriers. Theship features a fully optimized hull
structure for lighter weight, as well
as a hull shape that is optimized forthe maximum propulsive performance.
The Kawasaki Advanced Reheat
Turbine Plant (Kawasaki URA Plant),
which was developed specially for
LNG carriers, improves fuel consumption by approximately 25% comparedwith conventional steam turbine

plants. The LNG FUKUROKUJU isthe third ship equipped the Kawasaki
Advanced Reheat Turbine Plant (Kawasaki URA Plant).
Other features include:- This vessel features four Moss-typespherical LNG tanks that add up
to a total capacity of 165,134m3.
The LNG tanks use the Kawasaki
Panel System, a high-performanceinsulation system developed byKawasaki that keeps the boil-off
rate to no more than 0.08% per day.
- The cargo holds housing the LNG
tanks employ a double-hull and adouble-bottom structure to protect
the tanks from damage in the caseof an accident.
- The wheelhouse is equipped withstate-of-the-art, nautical equipment a nd asatellite
communication system,
and all information needed for navigating the ship isdisplayed onmonitors on
the integrated
bridge console

to enable safe and efficient shiphandling. In addition, the wheelhouse has windows on all sides togive the operators a 360-degree
view.

bulk carrier, to Telford Shipping Limited at its Imari Shipyard & Workson April 5, 2016. This is the first vessel of the newly developed 82,000DWT
type bulk carrier. The vessel has following features:
The CORATO is designed for carrying grain, coal, iron ore, etc. as a bulk
carrier with the maximized loading
capacity and compliant with common
structural rule.
High propulsion performance andreduction of fuel oil consumption areachieved by energy saving devices,high efficiency propeller, wind resistance reduction type superstructureand electronically controlled main engine.
Large-capacity ballast pumps andindependent ballast stripping line areprovided to improve ballasting anddeballasting performance. The vessel
has several types of holding tanks tosatisfy the port regulations and for themanagement of discharging gray water, sewage, bilge water after cargohold cleaning, etc.
For environmental safety, the vessel uses the main
engine and generator eng ine
compliant with
the Annex VI of
MARPOL 73/78
regulations to reduce NOx emissions. The centralized fresh water cooling sys-tem is adopted for the machinery
space equipment to ease maintenance.
The ballast water treatment system is used to control the quality ofballast water for protection of marine
environment prior to enforcement ofthe International Convention for theControl and Management of Ships’
Ballast Water and Sediments. TheIMO PSPC (Performance Standardfor Protective Coatings) WBT is applied to corrosion protection of the water ballast tanks to increase safety ofthe vessel.

combined with a high-efficiency propeller and associated energy saving
devices such as Sanoyas developed
STF (Sanoyas-Tandem-Fin (patent):
max. 6% energy saving) on stern shelland highly efficient appendages on therudder, which also contribute to thereduction of CO2 emission.
Various eco-friendly features suchas the main engine compliant with theNOx emission Tier II limit for prevention of air pollution, and the Ballast
Water Treatment System and fuel oiltank protection for the protection of
the marine environment are incorporated. In addition, independent
holding tanks foraccommodation
