JMU completes 209,000DWT G-Series bulk carrier,FOMENTO FOUR

　Japan Marine United Corporation delivered theFOMENTO FOUR, a G-Series 209,000DWT bulk carrier,at the Tsu Shipyard on June 17, 2019. This Cape size bulkcarrier has succeeded in dramatic reduction of fuel oil con-sumption by using various and comprehensive measuresfor energy-saving, so that GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emis-sions can be reduced and categorized into Phase 2 of theEnergy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) as defined inMARPOL Annex VI.　This Cape size bulk carrier design has larger deadweightand capacity suitable for bulk coal and iron ore in its ninecargo holds, and has been developed with the expertiseand vast experience of Japan Marine United Corporation.The SSD® (Super Stream Duct®) and SURF-BULB® (Rud-der Fin with Bulb) are equipped in front and behind thepropeller, respectively, to improve the propulsion perfor-mance. Furthermore, the unique bow shape of theLEADGE-Bow® reduces the added resistance due to

MHIMSB completes new generation MOSS type LNG carrier,DIAMOND GAS SAKURA

　Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.(MHIMSB), a group company of Mit-subishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI)completed construction of the DIA-MOND GAS SAKURA (HN:2332), anew generation MOSS type LNGCcalled “SAYARINGO STaGE” with atank capacity of 165,502m3, and de-livered the vessel to Diamond LNGShipping 3 Pte. Ltd. on May 15, 2019.　The “SAYARINGO STaGE” suc-ceeds the “SAYAENDO” (poddedpeas) type, a vessel highly acclaimedfor its improved Moss-type sphericaltanks that deliver a high level of reli-ability. The adoption of apple-shaped(ringo) tanks in the “SAYARINGOSTaGE” has enabled increased LNGcarrying capacity without changingthe ship’s beam, and incorporation ofa hybrid propulsion system has sig-nificantly boosted fuel efficiency compared with the “SAYAENDO.”　“STaGE,” an acronym derivingfrom “Steam Turbine and Gas En-gines,” is a hybrid propulsion systemcombining a steam turbine and en-

gines that can befired by gas. Effi-cient use of theengine’s wasteheat in the steamturbine results insubstantial im-provement inplant efficiency,enabling high-ef-ficiency naviga-tion throughout a full range of speeds.The adoption of a tank cover inte-grated with the hull structure, deve-loped by MHI Group with technical support from Aker Arctic TechnologyInc. of Finland, enables a lighter ves-sel while fully retaining overall struc-tural strength. The design also re-duces wind resistance during navi-gation.　MHIMSB will continue to deliversolutions that enable stable energysupply and environmental benefits by constructing high quality and envi-ronmental-friendly LNG carrierswith advanced technology.

Sanoyas is ready to build LNG fuelled wood chip carriers　Sanoyas Shipbuilding Corporationhas obtained an AiP (Approval inPrincipal) certi�cate from ClassNKfor the design concept of its LNG-fu-eled engine-mounted 4.3 mil. cft woodchip carrier. The vessel will meet themarket’s needs for eco-friendly shipoperation prior to the IMO’s forth-coming environmental regulations, sowas designed to achieve 40 percentor greater improvement in EEDI (En-ergy Efficiency Design Index), copingwith the IMO’s GHG strategy up to2030.

　For the ship design, Sanoyas hasalready developed the LNG fuel tanktogether with the LNG fuel gas sup-ply system (FGSS: see SEA-Japan No396). The LNG fuel tank will be in-stalled on the stern deck behind thesuperstructure to permit maximizingthe cargo hold capacity. FGSS will bearranged near the engine room, uti-lizing space along the depth of par-ticularly deep cargo hold of wood chip carriers.　Sanoyas has been trying to developLNG FGSS and gas-related techno-

logy based on rich experiences in build-ing pressurized LPG storage tanks in-cluding semi-refrigerated gas tanks,and associated gas piping arrange-ments onboard. The company has al-ready entered the business, FGSS/en-gineering service, to cope with grow-ing needs, and has now started to de-sign an LNG-fueled wood chip carrieras the �rst step for applying LNG fueling systems to other ship types.

Kawasaki-LNG floating power plant obtains AiP from DNV GL

addition, Kawasaki has extensive ca-pabilities of developing, designing, andmanufacturing the core equipment,gas engines, gas turbines, steam tur-bines, and heat recovery steam gene-rators (HRSG) using its own expertisein the power plant �eld, and abun-dant experience of plant engineeringin Japan and around the world. There-fore Kawasaki can provide integratedpackage solutions for the LNG bun-kering vessel and tanks for the LNGsecondary terminal.　Taking advantage of synergies bet-ween these LNG and energy relatedtechnologies, Kawasaki will activelymarket its energy related productsand equipment including small andmedium-size distributed powersources, which will contribute to de-velopment in areas where stablepower sources are difficult to secure.

　Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.has developed an LNG �oating powerplant equipped with its own high-effi-ciency power generation equipmentand the gas engine model has obtainedApproval in Principle (AiP)*1 fromDNV GL based on its “Gas PowerPlant” rules which were introduced in2018.　An LNG �oating power plant is anintegrated system, in which LNG fueltanks, LNG regasi�cation unit, powergenerat ion equipment , andswitchyard are all out�tted on thehull. The plant is towed on the sea orriver, and then moored at the installa-tion site, where power is generatedand supplied to the onshore powergrid.　Demand for this type of power plantis expected to be strong in countrieswhere demand for electricity is rap-idly increasing, such as in SoutheastAsia, especially on islands or in loca-tions where stable power sources aredi�icult to secure, and also in areaswith geographical problems such aslack of land for constructing onshorepower plants. LNG has a cost advan-tage over heavy oil for power genera-tion as a fuel of the power plant, andemits less greenhouse gases than coaland heavy oil. As an environmentallyfriendly fuel, the scale of supply anddemand as well as applications ofLNG are expected to expand.　The main features of the Kawasaki- LNG Floating Power Plant are asfollows:(1) The plants are equipped with in-　 house developed gas engine or gas　 turbine with the world’s highest　 level of power generation efficiency

　 in this class. (Gas engine: 49.5%,　 Gas turbine combined cycle:　 54.4%) These system have low　 nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions　 and low environmental impact.(2) The gas engine (of the gas engine　 model) can reach the rated load in　 10 minutes from start, and can also　 achieve high part ial load　 performance over a wide power　 range (30 - 100%).(3) A durable, highly insulated　 aluminum tank is used with the　 same speci�cations as for small　 LNG carriers/bunkering vessels.(4) High quality and reliable delivery　 are achieved through a seamless　 manufacturing value chain at　 Kawasaki’s own factories for the　 main products such as power　 generation facility, tank, and　 barge.　Kawasaki has built over 40 LNG-related vessels since constructingAsia’s �rst LNG carrier in 1981, in-cluding large LNG carriers and LNGfuel vessels, and has received an orderfor Japan’s �rst LNG bunkeringvessel. Kawasaki is a leader in LNGtransportation technology with abun-dant expertise and rich experience. In
