The Ship of The Year 99 Award given to Sunflower
Tomakomai and Hokkaido Maru
—Associated awards go to P&O Nedlloyd Southampton, etc.—
The Society of Naval Architects of Ja-
pan (SNAJ) has selected the Sunflower
Tomakomai and Hokkaido Maru, high-
speed coasting ferries built by Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), as The
Ship of The Year ’99. The society also se-
lected the P&O Nedlloyd Southampton,
a very large container carrier built by Ish-
ikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co.,
Ltd. (IHI), for associated awards, which
were also given to two racing yachts
(JPN44 Ashura and JPN52 Idaten) built
for the America’s Cup 2000.
Sunflower Tomakomai and Hokkaido
Maru are now operated by Blue High-
way Line Co., Ltd. and Kawasaki Kinkai Hokkaido Maru (above) and Sunflower Tomakomai (below)
Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., respectively. These ferries are sister
ships of the 12,520GT roll-on and roll-off type.
The two ships can carry 200 8.5m-long-body trucks and
46 ordinary passenger automobiles. The truck carrying
capacity is increased by 25%, compared with the conven-
tional ferry of this class.
The service speed of both ships is 30kt, greatly reduc-
ing the time required for the route from previous 30 hours
to 20 hours. For efficient vehicle handling, pillarless car
decks are employed and two large rampways, one for the
lower car decks at the starboard bow and the other for the
upper car decks at the starboard stern, are provided, al-
lowing simultaneous roll-on and roll-off of vehicles at the Depth, molded: 10.43m

Hitachi Zosen Corp. (HZ) delivered
the 75,122DWT Panamax bulk car-
rier, Antzouletta (HN: 4949), to Power
Transportation Corp. of Liberia at the
HZ Maizuru Works on Apr. 26.

built 11 such bulk carriers at its Kure
Shipyard.
The Obeliks is also designed, like
other sister ships in service, to display
excellent speed-power performance
due to employment of the IHI LV-Fin

achieved by reduced air resistance
using the slender superstructure to-

The system uses P-θ diagrams for engine diagnosis,
showing changes in the inner pressure of cylinders (P) in barge to Sri Lanka
relation to the crank angle (θ). Accurate diagnosis of the
operating status based on the P-θ diagrams requires ex-
perts with long experience and good knowledge. The sys-
tem, however, allows reading of P-θ diagrams irrespective
of individual differences in diagnosis capability.
The system uses an engine model called clone engine to
provide standard references for diagnosis. A clone engine
(model engine), which has the same performance as the
engine to be diagnosed, is created in a computer.
A P-θ diagram is created from the actual measurements
of the operating engine and is loaded into the computer.

engine under the same operating conditions. The diesel power plant at Colombo Port
