Innovationin Hybrids.Our mission was to develop hybrid tu rbochargers̶which generate electricity using exhaust gas̶ for large ships. In essence, this meant overcoming issues related to speed, power and size. In other words, i t meant the development of an efficient p o w e r g e n e r a t o r c a p a b l e o f high-speed rotation and a large power output in a compact design. The unprecedented challenge was realized by downsizing the power generator and changing the structural design of the turbocharger. It was innovative technology in which the generator was built into the turbocharger. The world’s first practical hybrid turbocharger, MET83MAG, is currently installed on s e v e n b u l k c a r r i e r s .

Mr. Stephen GordonManaging DirectorClarksons Research (U.K.)

Messagefrom the President and CEO

The shipbuilding market is expected to experience a

slowdown in new orders for the near term. This is an

adverse effect of the last-minute demand that was created

before the enforcement of Tier III NOx emission limits in

January this year as well as the slowdown of the Chinese

economy. There are also concerns that international

political and economic upheavals may occur, such as a euro

crisis, refugee crisis or terrorism.

It is because the market is unstable that we will make sure

to give attention to the basics this year.

First, there is customer-centricity. It is the customer that is

the most important to us, and we will make sure that

sufficient follow-up will be carried out to ensure that the

products and services we delivered to our customers are

proving useful. We will also visit our customers more than

ever to hear their comments and opinions, which we will

feed promptly back into our operations.

Then, there are our technological capabilities. The value of

our existence is to continually stay one step ahead of our

competitors in terms of the performance and reliability of

our products. We will share technological capabilities with

the comprehensive machinery manufacturer, Mitsubishi

Heavy Industries, and commit to new product and

technology development as well as the further boost of the

performance and reliability of our products.

We are happy to report that the first 6UEC 50LSH, a new

engine that was launched last year, is operating extremely

well in service. Onboard testing of the low-pressure EGR

that meets Tier III requirements is also going well, and the

low-pressure EGR is awaiting the arrival of future business

opportunities.

It is because the market environment is unstable that we

will give attention to the basics, listen to the opinions of

our customers and work tirelessly to improve and enhance

our technological capabilities. This is the course that

MHI-MME should follow at this time.

It is because the market is unstablethat we will make sure to giveattention to the basics.

4Technology for IMO NOx TierⅢSPECIAL FEATURES 1

Technology Supporting IMO Tier III NOx Emission Requirements

In a low-pressure EGR system, a portion of the exhaust from an engine is recirculated to the engine. It suppresses the genera-tion of thermal NOx by changing the engine’s internal combus-tion conditions.MHI-MME’s EGR system was developed with support from ClassNK’s Joint R&D with Industries and Academic Partners scheme. It recirculates low-pressure exhaust from an engine turbocharger outlet to the turbocharger intake gas. It has a simpler system configuration and is more compact than a high-pressure EGR system, which utilizes the high-tempera-ture, high-pressure exhaust that has not passed through a turbocharger. Other advantages are that it keeps both initial and running costs lower.Reduction of NOx emissions to Tier III levels were thought extremely difficult to achieve using only an EGR system. However, it has been confirmed possible during development using a test engine. In April 2015, the MHI-MME EGR system was installed on a 6UEC 45LSE-Eco-B2 engine at Kobe Diesel Co., Ltd. for shop testing. Confirmation was made that the desired performance could be achieved as planned. This included NOx emission levels and a less-than 1% loss of fuel efficiency as compared with the Tier II version. The engine received a certificate of conformity to Tier III requirements.In August 2015, test installation was made on the 6UEC 45LSE-Eco-B2 engine of the 34,000 DWT bulk carrier Dream Island (shipowner: Shikishima Kisen K.K.) built by The Hakodate Dock Co., Ltd. Confirmation was made in onboard testing that the desired performance could also be achieved as planned.This is the first time worldwide that a Tier III-certified low-pres-

sure EGR system for low-speed marine diesel engines was installed on a ship. In regards to the long-term durability testing currently taking place, verification is also being made of the system’s actual operability (e.g. logistics and operation) with the cooperation of Shikishima Kisen K.K., NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd.—which operates the ship—and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha. Overall optimization of the system will be carried out in preparation of future business talks.

IMO NOx Tier III is a set of emissions requirements applied to vessels whose keels are laid on or after January 1, 2016, that has taken effect in Emission Control Areas (ECAs). NOx ECAs have so far been established only in North America and parts of the Caribbean Sea. However, Europe and other areas where Sox ECAs are established are being considered for future addition. It is an extremely major environmental regulation that may also become a requirement for ships operating outside of North America. It requires the reduction of NOx emissions by approximately 76% in comparison to Tier II requirements.MHI-MME has been developing two solutions to deal with IMO NOx Tier III: low-pressure EGR and low-pressure SCR. The following is an introduction of our efforts in regards to these two technologies supporting IMO NOx Tier III emission requirements.

The low-pressure EGR and low-pressure SCR systems introduced here can, of course, be installed on the UE engines developed by MHI-MME. What is more, the simplicity of the systems enables installation on the brand engines manufactured by other companies.MHI-MME will contribute to the preservation of the global environment by widely popularizing the excellent performance of the low-pressure EGR and low-pressure SCR systems. We will also continue to work towards further enhancement of the performance and reliability of the systems as well as expand sales. Our commitment is to ensure that MHI-MME will meet the expectations of customers around the world.

Unlike the EGR system, which suppresses the generation of NOx by changing an engine’s internal combust ion conditions, the low-pressure SCR system uses a catalyst to carry out after-treatment (denitration) of NOx in engine exhaust.Since 2007, MHI-MME participated from the beginning in the Super Clean Marine Diesel (SCMD) R&D Project, until the conclusion of onboard testing in 2012. The Project was initiated and overseen by the Japan Ship Machinery & Equipment Assoc iat ion , promoted by The Nippon Foundation and led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism. MHI-MME fully incorporated the denitration technology cultivated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in its land-based plants, etc., and installed a low-pressure SCR system, which carried out denitration of all exhaust gas, on an 88,000 DWT coal carrier (main engine: 6UEC 60LS II) built by Oshima Shipbuilding. A denitration rate of over 80% under full-load conditions in E3 mode was confirmed through the onboard testing.Long-term operation of the system, comparable to actual onboard operation, was later carried out using a land-based test plant to carry out quantitative development related to durability and catalyst life. The low-pressure SCR system for low-speed, two-stroke marine engines was completed by integrating the results of such development.A certificate of conformity to Tier III requirements has not been obtained because the IMO requirements were still u

nder discussion and being formulated during the SCR system’s development under the SCMD R&D Project. However, it was the first time in the world that a low-pressure SCR system was installed on an onboard low-speed engine.As for the UE engine, application on small engines with relatively high exhaust gas temperature is intended, and we are primarily dealing with inquiries in China.

6I n t e r v i e wINSIGHT & FORESIGHT

— Today, we would like to ask you several quest ions about market status. We understand that year 2015 was historical tough market for new sh ipbui ld ing contracts. Could you tell us statistics easily showing the status of the year 2015?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: In 2015, there

was 37 million CGT of deliveries, up

marginally from 35.1 million CGT in

2014 but down 30% from a peak of 53.1

million CGT in 2010. China (35.1%)

re-took top position in CGT terms from

Korea (34.6%) followed Japan (18%).

In terms of ordering, we had a total of

1,306 vessels, 98 million DWT and 33.8

million CGT down from 121 million

DWT in 2014 and 178 million DWT in

2013. From my perspective, last year was

the lowest ordering year since 2009 and

quite a challenging year.

Particularly, it was a very challenging

year for bulk carriers. The bulk carrier

market has shown a strong slowdown

because of the continued delivery of ships

following orders booming in 2014 and

also because of the slowdown in the

trade, specifically China. In China, coal

imports were down around 30%. More

interesting statistics which have just been

re l eased show that Chinese s tee l

production in the last year fell for the

first time since 1981.

The conta iner sh ip market a l so

experienced a significant slowdown,

particularly in the second half of the year.

The start of the year was quite busy and

a lot of large post-Panamax container

ships were ordered. So, actually, the

annual total of ordering in tonnage terms

was up quite significantly for the first

half of the year. However, it did slow

down towards end of the year. This

slowdown was caused by concerns from

the demand s ide about the world

economy such as a decelerating in

international trade, and a declining

charter and freight rate.

Tanker ordering was steady. In fact, the

tanker market was up by around 70% in

dead weight terms and in numeric terms

up by around 70 orders to just over 450.

Th i s was d r i v en by the g rowing

international oil trade because of low oil

prices, and so the tanker market had its

best year since 2008 with a significant

amount of cash coming to ship owners.

Offshore markets which had been good

business for shipyards in the previous 3

or 4 years took a significant hit because

of the slump in the price of oil. That

resulted in utilization of rigs globally

dropping from around 95% to 73% of

the end of the last year and very limited

number of ordering in offshore markets.

Ro-Ro ferry/Cruise Business had a

positive year, particularly for the cruise

section. We had a record order book both

in terms of tonnage and value for cruise

markets.

Gas related markets were both tough

and good depending on the vessel type.

As for LNG, although there were some

projects, the volume was smaller than the

previous year. LPG gas also experienced a

slowdown in ordering. However, VLGC

is still performing very well, and had a

very large order book. So, in terms of

contracting, I think that it was quite a

challenging year over all.

One point we would make is that there

was a lot of addi t ional order ing,

particularly in the second half of the year,

in response to the Tier III standards to

meet the deadline. Moreover, we expect

that there some more orders were made

before the Tier III deadline which have

not yet been reported. However, this is

one of the reasons why we expect that

this year wil l be quiet in terms of

ordering, particularly the first half.

— I think that Japanese yards are doing well securing their contracts in 2015. What is your overall forecast for new shipbuilding contracts for 2016/17?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: For 2016, we

would expect probably a lower volume

than 2015. We think the first half of

2016 will be very quiet and overall

volume for the year will be below 2015.

Of course sh ipbui ld ing i s a lways

unpredictable, but that seems to be the

consensus at the moment. We do expect a

recovery in demand in the long term but

the timing is very uncertain. It will take

t ime fo r th e sh ipp ing marke t to

recuperate, and also to adjust global

shipping capacity, which is the challenge

for the industry.

In 2015, Japan was the only one of the

'big three' shipbuilding nations to see

ordering volumes increase year-on-year, up

10% million GT terms to 19.7 million

GT. Japan was the largest ordering nation

from an owner perspective, particularly

for bulk carriers, and of course they have

many loyal clients both internationally

and domestically. Also, the currency rate

changes were helpful for Japanese yards

last year.

— Regarding the fuel oil price, we are experiencing very low prices and it is affecting the new shipbuilding market and offshore markets so much. Do you think that the current situation will continue for several more years?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: We expect the

oil price to recover in the medium to long

term. However, in terms of offshore

cycle, we do not expect a bounce in terms

of the recovery. It seems that it may take

several years to recover because of the oil

price and also there is global surplus

capacity. These are our main challenges.

— Regarding oil prices, some people say that $60/Barrel or $70/Barrel will be the break even point.

Do you think it will be recovering in that area?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think the oil

price is inherently volatile. We would

expect the recovery to a level significantly

above today’s price, but the timing and

scale are very difficult to anticipate. It is a

very complicated issue, considering shale

oil production in US, Saudi Arabian

product ion output l eve l , I ran ian

sanctions, and the global demand. So I

think that an accurate forecast of oil prices

is not possible, but certainly we would

expect recovery from the current level.

— Regarding Tier III regulations, I think some ship owners seem very reluctant for higher CAPEX and OPEX as result of this regulation. What do you feel for this regulation?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: CAPEX should

be considered of course, particularly in

the current challenging market.

In today’s market, CAPEX is always an

issue; ship owners and shipyards will

need to discuss and move forward with

the correct solutions.

— Do you think that this additional cost from Tier III should be reflected in freight rates?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: That is a

difficult question, because there are a lot

of issues. There are many factors for

setting freight rates, such as the market

cycle from the demand side, circumstances

around the negotiation, commercial terms

as well as technical competitiveness. Since

there are so many issues which need to be

taken into consideration, it is very

difficult to anticipate freight rates in a

very specific element of commercial

framework.

— It’s a very difficult issue as to who should absorb this additional cost. So, this is challenging in any sector such as ship owner, as well as shipyard, machinery side. Do you think that there might be some kind of answer for this issue?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Historically,

things are changing all the time. Currency

price, market cycle, supply demand, steel

prices, interest rates, all of the factors for

price are changing all the time. I think

that the price will recuperate accordingly

over time in relation to those factors and

it is difficult to predict the price by those

specific issues.

— I would like to change the topic. Iranian sanctions will be released. What could you imagine as the impact on new shipbuilding orders from this?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: There are

ranges of forecast regarding the Iranian

oil production, from additional output in

the short medium terms 2-300,000

barrel/day up to close to a million/barrel.

Also, there are a number of large shipping

companies in Iran which will require new

building. Although it is still relatively early

to quantify the potential of the Iranian

impact, generally speaking, there are

clearly opportunities for marine and oil

& gas business internationally.

— Could we expect some more orders in tankers sector?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Certainly the

fleet strategy of large shipping companies

in Iran will go forward and we would

expect that there will be some new

building activities.

— If we include Iranian crude oil, the quantity will be increased. Considering current low price of oil and new Tier III regulations, what do you imagine for the scenario of fuel oil for the large vessels?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: The low oil

price makes LNG as fuel less persuasive.

However, in a long term view such as the

next 10 years, or in the case of ships,

over 20 to 25 years, oil and gas price may

settle down. LNG as a fuel has a number

of advantages and also has a number of

disadvantages. Firstly I think it is

important to take a long term view when

we talk about fuel prices.

Secondly, I think regulation regarding

emissions globally is something that will

be on the political agenda over the next

10 to 20 years, and we feel that regulations

inc luding emiss ions wi l l increase

significantly in the long term.

— You mentioned that steel production in China is very low. The recession in China including steel production is having a large impact on this market. Could you tell me some key factors or key words to recover the market from this situation?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think China is

moving to a more mature phase of its

economy. Rather than talking about the

recession, we should be thinking that

China is moving into a more mature

economy, having gone through its

developing phase.

In a more mature economy, new

commodities and cargos will be needed,

for example, the cruise sector in China is

doing very well at the moment.

So, I think as China matures into a

different type of economy, then that will

create new opportunities for shipping

although it might not be such aggressive

growth for cargo.

I think there is still potential for growth

in the market in the long term view,

considering that 85% of all international

trade is carried by ships and that there is

totaled 10.8 billion tonnage which is

equivalent to 1.5 tonnes of trade per

single person on the planet. The world

trade has grown quite consistently and

steadily for nearly 50 years, experiencing

only one or two interruptions, such as the

financial crisis.

However, of course in the short term,

we have a business cycle to deal with,

some surplus capacity and the Chinese

economy maturing. These are causing a

decl ine in growth rates in certain

economies or certain trades and making

the markets challenging.

I think that shipbuilding surplus

capacity is a problem both in China,

Korea and Japan and I think that is

something challenging for the marine

industry for this next couple of years.

— From a broking or funding point of view, can you find some good signs for the future?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think that

there are a lot of challenges across the

markets.

However, we are seeing a lot of buying

interests in capesize at the moment, a lot

of well established and successful ship

owners are investigating capesizes today.

We have seen 15 to 20 more capesize sold

in last 4 or 5 weeks.

This is because those owners believe

that this is an attractive point in the cycle

to acquire ships and they feel the market

will recover in the long term, and I think

that is a good signal.

Also, the financial landscape in the

shipping world is very different today

from pre-financial crisis. It is very

different in terms of the number and

types of banks involved, and terms and

nature of lending are different from pre-

financial crisis.

— What is the biggest difference between today and pre-financial crisis?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think we have

s m a l l e r n u m b e r o f b a n k s , m o r e

conservative terms, more regulations,

more focus on certain top tier owners,

more export credits, and less private

equity which was very active in 2013 and

2014.

— My last question is about the current over-capacity situation. Do you think this can be regulated in 2 or 3 years?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Clearly the

market i s very chal lenging today,

however, marine industry plays an

incredibly important role in the world

economy. If you believe in long term

development of world economy and

globalization, then the marine industry

will continue to have an important role

to play. However, the cycle of timing is

very difficult.

Apart from that, I think there are a lot

of exciting opportunities in the marine

industry, particularly from technology, IT,

au tomat ion , and the innova t ion

perspective, such as the advancement

seen in IT and satellite connections. We

feel that there are a lot of exciting

opportunities for innovation that can be

driven by the marine equipment sector as

well as other parts of the shipping

industry. Those are exciting opportunities

in the short term when the fleet market is

challenging.

MHI-MME has a great potential as one

of the worldwide technology provider,

and we believe that you have a great

opportunity in this field, too.

— Thank you, Steve san.

Mr. Stephen GORDON

2015 saw the slowdown in the bulk carrier, container ship, and offshoremarkets due to China's trade decrease and the fall of the fuel oil price.

A severe outlook in the markets continues overall in 2016-2017.

With 85% of all international trade being carried by ships,The innovation perspective in technology, IT, and automation forecaststhere are a lot of opportunities in the marine industrywhich will activate the currently severe new shipbuilding market.

The issue of Tier III is to be solved by ship owners and shipyards together.China is moving into a more mature economy, rather than the recession,after the development. Such economy will create new opportunities,such as in the cruise sector.

— Today, we would like to ask you several quest ions about market status. We understand that year 2015 was historical tough market for new sh ipbui ld ing contracts. Could you tell us statistics easily showing the status of the year 2015?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: In 2015, there

was 37 million CGT of deliveries, up

marginally from 35.1 million CGT in

2014 but down 30% from a peak of 53.1

million CGT in 2010. China (35.1%)

re-took top position in CGT terms from

Korea (34.6%) followed Japan (18%).

In terms of ordering, we had a total of

1,306 vessels, 98 million DWT and 33.8

million CGT down from 121 million

DWT in 2014 and 178 million DWT in

2013. From my perspective, last year was

the lowest ordering year since 2009 and

quite a challenging year.

Particularly, it was a very challenging

year for bulk carriers. The bulk carrier

market has shown a strong slowdown

because of the continued delivery of ships

following orders booming in 2014 and

also because of the slowdown in the

trade, specifically China. In China, coal

imports were down around 30%. More

interesting statistics which have just been

re l eased show that Chinese s tee l

production in the last year fell for the

first time since 1981.

The conta iner sh ip market a l so

experienced a significant slowdown,

particularly in the second half of the year.

The start of the year was quite busy and

a lot of large post-Panamax container

ships were ordered. So, actually, the

annual total of ordering in tonnage terms

was up quite significantly for the first

half of the year. However, it did slow

down towards end of the year. This

slowdown was caused by concerns from

the demand s ide about the world

economy such as a decelerating in

international trade, and a declining

charter and freight rate.

Tanker ordering was steady. In fact, the

tanker market was up by around 70% in

dead weight terms and in numeric terms

up by around 70 orders to just over 450.

Th i s was d r i v en by the g rowing

international oil trade because of low oil

prices, and so the tanker market had its

best year since 2008 with a significant

amount of cash coming to ship owners.

Offshore markets which had been good

business for shipyards in the previous 3

or 4 years took a significant hit because

of the slump in the price of oil. That

resulted in utilization of rigs globally

dropping from around 95% to 73% of

the end of the last year and very limited

number of ordering in offshore markets.

Ro-Ro ferry/Cruise Business had a

positive year, particularly for the cruise

section. We had a record order book both

in terms of tonnage and value for cruise

markets.

Gas related markets were both tough

and good depending on the vessel type.

As for LNG, although there were some

projects, the volume was smaller than the

previous year. LPG gas also experienced a

slowdown in ordering. However, VLGC

is still performing very well, and had a

very large order book. So, in terms of

contracting, I think that it was quite a

challenging year over all.

One point we would make is that there

was a lot of addi t ional order ing,

particularly in the second half of the year,

in response to the Tier III standards to

meet the deadline. Moreover, we expect

that there some more orders were made

before the Tier III deadline which have

not yet been reported. However, this is

one of the reasons why we expect that

this year wil l be quiet in terms of

ordering, particularly the first half.

— I think that Japanese yards are doing well securing their contracts in 2015. What is your overall forecast for new shipbuilding contracts for 2016/17?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: For 2016, we

would expect probably a lower volume

than 2015. We think the first half of

2016 will be very quiet and overall

volume for the year will be below 2015.

Of course sh ipbui ld ing i s a lways

unpredictable, but that seems to be the

consensus at the moment. We do expect a

recovery in demand in the long term but

the timing is very uncertain. It will take

t ime fo r th e sh ipp ing marke t to

recuperate, and also to adjust global

shipping capacity, which is the challenge

for the industry.

In 2015, Japan was the only one of the

'big three' shipbuilding nations to see

ordering volumes increase year-on-year, up

10% million GT terms to 19.7 million

GT. Japan was the largest ordering nation

from an owner perspective, particularly

for bulk carriers, and of course they have

many loyal clients both internationally

and domestically. Also, the currency rate

changes were helpful for Japanese yards

last year.

— Regarding the fuel oil price, we are experiencing very low prices and it is affecting the new shipbuilding market and offshore markets so much. Do you think that the current situation will continue for several more years?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: We expect the

oil price to recover in the medium to long

term. However, in terms of offshore

cycle, we do not expect a bounce in terms

of the recovery. It seems that it may take

several years to recover because of the oil

price and also there is global surplus

capacity. These are our main challenges.

— Regarding oil prices, some people say that $60/Barrel or $70/Barrel will be the break even point.

Do you think it will be recovering in that area?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think the oil

price is inherently volatile. We would

expect the recovery to a level significantly

above today’s price, but the timing and

scale are very difficult to anticipate. It is a

very complicated issue, considering shale

oil production in US, Saudi Arabian

product ion output l eve l , I ran ian

sanctions, and the global demand. So I

think that an accurate forecast of oil prices

is not possible, but certainly we would

expect recovery from the current level.

— Regarding Tier III regulations, I think some ship owners seem very reluctant for higher CAPEX and OPEX as result of this regulation. What do you feel for this regulation?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: CAPEX should

be considered of course, particularly in

the current challenging market.

In today’s market, CAPEX is always an

issue; ship owners and shipyards will

need to discuss and move forward with

the correct solutions.

— Do you think that this additional cost from Tier III should be reflected in freight rates?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: That is a

difficult question, because there are a lot

of issues. There are many factors for

setting freight rates, such as the market

cycle from the demand side, circumstances

around the negotiation, commercial terms

as well as technical competitiveness. Since

there are so many issues which need to be

taken into consideration, it is very

difficult to anticipate freight rates in a

very specific element of commercial

framework.

— It’s a very difficult issue as to who should absorb this additional cost. So, this is challenging in any sector such as ship owner, as well as shipyard, machinery side. Do you think that there might be some kind of answer for this issue?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Historically,

things are changing all the time. Currency

price, market cycle, supply demand, steel

prices, interest rates, all of the factors for

price are changing all the time. I think

that the price will recuperate accordingly

over time in relation to those factors and

it is difficult to predict the price by those

specific issues.

— I would like to change the topic. Iranian sanctions will be released. What could you imagine as the impact on new shipbuilding orders from this?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: There are

ranges of forecast regarding the Iranian

oil production, from additional output in

the short medium terms 2-300,000

barrel/day up to close to a million/barrel.

Also, there are a number of large shipping

companies in Iran which will require new

building. Although it is still relatively early

to quantify the potential of the Iranian

impact, generally speaking, there are

clearly opportunities for marine and oil

& gas business internationally.

— Could we expect some more orders in tankers sector?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Certainly the

fleet strategy of large shipping companies

in Iran will go forward and we would

expect that there will be some new

building activities.

— If we include Iranian crude oil, the quantity will be increased. Considering current low price of oil and new Tier III regulations, what do you imagine for the scenario of fuel oil for the large vessels?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: The low oil

price makes LNG as fuel less persuasive.

However, in a long term view such as the

next 10 years, or in the case of ships,

over 20 to 25 years, oil and gas price may

settle down. LNG as a fuel has a number

of advantages and also has a number of

disadvantages. Firstly I think it is

important to take a long term view when

we talk about fuel prices.

Secondly, I think regulation regarding

emissions globally is something that will

be on the political agenda over the next

10 to 20 years, and we feel that regulations

inc luding emiss ions wi l l increase

significantly in the long term.

— You mentioned that steel production in China is very low. The recession in China including steel production is having a large impact on this market. Could you tell me some key factors or key words to recover the market from this situation?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think China is

moving to a more mature phase of its

economy. Rather than talking about the

recession, we should be thinking that

China is moving into a more mature

economy, having gone through its

developing phase.

In a more mature economy, new

commodities and cargos will be needed,

for example, the cruise sector in China is

doing very well at the moment.

So, I think as China matures into a

different type of economy, then that will

create new opportunities for shipping

although it might not be such aggressive

growth for cargo.

I think there is still potential for growth

in the market in the long term view,

considering that 85% of all international

trade is carried by ships and that there is

totaled 10.8 billion tonnage which is

equivalent to 1.5 tonnes of trade per

single person on the planet. The world

trade has grown quite consistently and

steadily for nearly 50 years, experiencing

only one or two interruptions, such as the

financial crisis.

However, of course in the short term,

we have a business cycle to deal with,

some surplus capacity and the Chinese

economy maturing. These are causing a

decl ine in growth rates in certain

economies or certain trades and making

the markets challenging.

I think that shipbuilding surplus

capacity is a problem both in China,

Korea and Japan and I think that is

something challenging for the marine

industry for this next couple of years.

— From a broking or funding point of view, can you find some good signs for the future?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think that

there are a lot of challenges across the

markets.

However, we are seeing a lot of buying

interests in capesize at the moment, a lot

of well established and successful ship

owners are investigating capesizes today.

We have seen 15 to 20 more capesize sold

in last 4 or 5 weeks.

This is because those owners believe

that this is an attractive point in the cycle

to acquire ships and they feel the market

will recover in the long term, and I think

that is a good signal.

Also, the financial landscape in the

shipping world is very different today

from pre-financial crisis. It is very

different in terms of the number and

types of banks involved, and terms and

nature of lending are different from pre-

financial crisis.

— What is the biggest difference between today and pre-financial crisis?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: I think we have

s m a l l e r n u m b e r o f b a n k s , m o r e

conservative terms, more regulations,

more focus on certain top tier owners,

more export credits, and less private

equity which was very active in 2013 and

2014.

— My last question is about the current over-capacity situation. Do you think this can be regulated in 2 or 3 years?

Mr. Stephen GORDON: Clearly the

market i s very chal lenging today,

however, marine industry plays an

incredibly important role in the world

economy. If you believe in long term

development of world economy and

globalization, then the marine industry

will continue to have an important role

to play. However, the cycle of timing is

very difficult.

Apart from that, I think there are a lot

of exciting opportunities in the marine

industry, particularly from technology, IT,

au tomat ion , and the innova t ion

perspective, such as the advancement

seen in IT and satellite connections. We

feel that there are a lot of exciting

opportunities for innovation that can be

driven by the marine equipment sector as

well as other parts of the shipping

industry. Those are exciting opportunities

in the short term when the fleet market is

challenging.

MHI-MME has a great potential as one

of the worldwide technology provider,

and we believe that you have a great

opportunity in this field, too.

— Thank you, Steve san.

Shipbuilding surplus capacity is a problem both in China, Korea and Japan.Believing in long term development of world economy and globalization,

there will be much opportunities for innovation and growththat can be driven by the marine equipment sector.

The support of ship operation is carried out to ensure that our customers can feel at ease in using our UE engines for many years.The land-to-sea network environment has been rapidly improv-ing over recent years. MHI-MME will proactively incorporate environmental protection regulations-related technology and other new solutions for further enrichment of the remote monitoring system. We will continue to be committed to the provision of quality services to our customers.

REMOTE MONITORING BY LC-A

ELECTRIC ASSIST TURBOCHARGER COMPLETED

MET37SRC Electro-Assist Turbocharger CompletedIn the October 2014 6th Issue of Project MEET News, we reported that in an operational test carried out with the cooperation of Akasaka Diesels Limited, verification was made that an electro-assist turbocharger mounted on a 4-stroke engine was effective in reducing smoke during engine start-up and lowering fuel consumption during low-load operation. In this test, a high-speed motor was connected to the rotor of a MET22SRC turbocharger.With the aim of commercializing this function, we recently developed an electro-assist turbocharger, with a high-speed motor coupled to a MET37SRC turbocharger.The newly designed high-speed permanent magnet motor requires the use of neither lubricant nor cooling water. It can easily be retrofitted on a standard turbocharger.Stand-alone operational testing of this turbocharger was completed in February this year, and onboard testing began in March with the electro-assist turbocharger mounted on a marine diesel engine.

Hybrid Turbocharger Receives External Award“JMF President’s Award” of the Energy-Efficient Machinery AwardsHosted by the Japan Machinery Federation

MHI-MME’s hybrid turbocharger for large ships received the JMF President’s Award in the 2015 Energy-Efficient Machinery Awards hosted by the Japan Machinery Federation. In the 36th hosting of this authoritative award, our hybrid turbocharger was selected after rigorous examination of 28 machines that were entered for award consideration. The hybrid turbocharger developed by MHI-MME was recognized for its superior energy-efficiency, operational track record and progressiveness, all proven through actual installation and use on ships.The hybrid turbocharger couples MHI-MME’s large-size MET series turbocharger with a high-speed generator-motor. It utilizes engine exhaust gas from a marine propulsion diesel engine for efficient power generation. During low-load operation of the engine, the hybrid turbocharger can be used as an electric motor, doing away with the need of conventional auxiliary blowers. It can improve engine performance at the same time.Development of the MET83MAG, the world’s first and unrivalled practical hybrid turbocharger, was achieved with the generous support of ClassNK, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line), Japan Marine United Corporation and Hitachi Zosen Corporation. The hybrid turbocharger has been installed on seven large bulk carriers built by Japan Marine United Corporation.Meanwhile, MET66MAG-VTI, the latest hybrid turbocharger with electro-assist function and variable turbine inlet, was developed with the generous cooperation of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and Kobe Diesel Co., Ltd. This hybrid VTI turbocharger has been installed on six large, state-of-the-art car carriers built by Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd. and Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and operated by NYK Line.This was the second time that MHI-MME won this award, following the Waste Heat Recovery Systems in FY2010. MHI-MME will continue to contribute to increasing the efficiency of ship operation and protection of the global environment through the provision of energy-efficient equipment solutions.

USER CONFFERENCE HELD IN IMABARI

EXHIBITIONS PLANNED

User Conference held in Imabari

With Rafina in the Aegean Sea as its home port, the FAST FERRIES company uses its three ferries to operate regular services to outlying islands including Andros, Tinos, and Mykonos. Of its three ferries, two are fitted with MHI-MME’s fin stabilizers. Those two ferries are both second-hand vessels made in Japan and one of them, the FAST FERRIES Andros was retrofitted with the stabilizers last year. Visitors can choose from other companies with jetfoil boats operating on the same routes as FAST FERRIES, or the option of taking a plane, so during the tourist season in summer there is always a battle amongst these companies to win customers. We spoke with Mr. Panagiotakis, who is in charge of the technical division of the FAST FERRIES company. (Interviewer: Mr. Suzuki from the Marine Machinery Equipment Section)

On Thursday, March 10, the third User Conference was held in Imabari, and we gave the attendees information about products that would be helpful in operating ship services as well as our after-service lineup. A pre-conference survey was conducted to find out what clients were most interested in. On the conference agenda were items such as the UE engine, maintenance and checkup techniques for the MET Turbocharger, leading to a lively exchange in the Q&A. The User Conference gives us the unique opportunity to hear directly from our clients. The opinions and requests we receive are shared in the company and are essential for us to develop and expand on our products and services to answer our clients’ expectations. The second Tokyo User Conference is scheduled to be held in May, and we are hoping for a large attendance.

“Passengers’ reactions have definitely changed”Shipowner Interview, Vessel Retrofitted with a Retractable Fin Stabilizer

With Rafina in the Aegean Sea as its home port, the FAST FERRIES company uses its three ferries to operate regular services to outlying islands including Andros, Tinos, and Mykonos. Of its three ferries, two are fitted with MHI-MME’s fin stabilizers. Those two ferries are both second-hand vessels made in Japan and one of them, the FAST FERRIES Andros was retrofitted with the stabilizers last year. Visitors can choose from other companies with jetfoil boats operating on the same routes as FAST FERRIES, or the option of taking a plane, so during the tourist season in summer there is always a battle amongst these companies to win customers. We spoke with Mr. Panagiotakis, who is in charge of the technical division of the FAST FERRIES company. (Interviewer: Mr. Suzuki from the Marine Machinery Equipment Section)

“Passengers’ reactions have definitely changed”Shipowner Interview, Vessel Retrofitted with a Retractable Fin Stabilizer

Mr. Panagiotakis, Owner, Theologos P,FAST FERRIES, (Greece)

Thank you for your time today. I’d like to ask you some questions about the project carried out last year to retrofit fin stabilizers.

Q1. What was the reason that made you decide to retrofit fin stabiliz-ers on the FAST FERRIES Andros?

FAST FERRIES owns one boat (Theologos P) fitted with MHI-MME’s fin stabilizers so the deciding reason was that I already knew about their powerful ability to control the roll of a ship. I think that fin stabilizers are one marine product that is a necessity for passenger ships.

Q2. Have you asked passengers and staff working on the FAST FERRIES Andros for their response or opinions comparing the Andros with vessels not fitted with fin stabilizers?

The response from passengers is clearly different. Vessels without fin stabilizers are also in service on the same routes as the Andros. Passengers who have ever been on the Andros, or those who have heard about it, realize about our vessels either having the fin stabiliz-ers or not. So, of course, they purchase tickets for ferries with fin stabilizers so that they can enjoy a pleasant and relaxing voyage.

I’d like to share with you a certain anecdote. One day on our normal service in the Andros when the seas were a bit rough, we decided experimentally to stop using the fin stabilizers. As the effect of stopping the roll of the ship dropped off, as was to be expected, the ship started to take on a sideways roll. Because of this, the passen-gers began to wonder what had happened and everyone immedi-ately started looking outside at the ocean. In other words, the effect of the fin stabilizers was so good that even the passengers noticed it immediately. Another time, we wanted to compare what it was like using the fin stabilizers and not using them. When we stopped using them, the roll was about ± 10 degrees but when we were using the fin stabilizers this was reduced to about ± 1 degree. At the time of the fin stabilizer project, we were told that the roll would be reduced by 90% but I could feel for myself that it was higher than that. So I am extremely satisfied with how wonderful the effect is for counter-acting the roll of a ship.

Q3. Since the retrofitted Andros has been back in service, has there been any malfunctioning of the fin stabilizers?

We are using the fin stabilizers every day but we have not had any trouble at all. If anything had occurred, I would have already contact-ed your company.

Q4. How does the FAST FERRIES company evaluate the retrofitting of the fin stabilizers this time?

Overall, we are of the opinion that it was a very efficient project that didn’t require too much effort. I mean, in the initial stages of the project we just provided the essential information and data about the hull of the ship and then left everything up to your company, so from the survey of the ship to the sea trial, all the work was completed. Things such as the positioning of the fins and the reinforcement surrounding the fin stabilizers are the kind of knowhow that usually a ship owner does not have, but your company’s support was such a help to us. I am extremely satisfied with the way the entire project went.

Q5.How many points would you award out of 100?

As I am extremely satisfied, I would like to say 100 but actually it is 98. The remaining two points are for further development and expectations, so I shall take off two points for that.

Q6. I see. So what do you seek from MHI-MME in the future?

I expect your company to continue to make high quality products as you have thus far, and also I expect the development of new ideas. And I also want you to continue to make us happy.

MHI Products Celebrating Anniversaries

80th Anniversary of Development and Manufacture

Last year in 2015, three core products, symbolic of MHI-MME’s technological prowess, celebrated their 80th, 60th and 50th anniversaries respectively since development and commencement of manufacturing. This special feature looks back on their histories as well as the total number produced to date, current licensing and global market shares.

MET TurbochargersMHI-brand Steering GearsContinues to Accumulatea Leading Global Track Record

State-of-the-artElectronically-controlled MarineEngines with SuperFuel-efficiency andEnvironmentalRegulationCompliance toMeet Today’s NeedsIn 1955, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries succeeded in the development of a UE-type 2-stroke marine diesel engine using original technology. Known for its advanced technology and reliability, MHI has proudly manufactured and delivered a total of about 40-million horsepower’s worth of the in-house developed UE engine series to power ships sailing in the seas of Japan and abroad (as of 2015).

Last year marked 80 years since Mitsubishi Heavy Industries first manufactured electro-hydraulic steering gear in 1935. Since the trunk piston (A type) and Rapson slide (S and D type) steering gear of the early days, MHI has been developing steering gear according to global needs. Between the 1960s and 80s, MHI manufactured Rotary vane (AEG type) steering gear, and since the 1970s, has been manufacturing the SF type and DF

type (successors to the Rapson slide type steering gear) and other models. They are installed on a multitude of vessels, both large and small, as industry-leading MHI-brand steering gear. Today, manufac-turing and sales license agreements have been concluded with Yoowon Industries Ltd. of South Korea and Jiangsu Masada Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in China. MHI-brand steering gears continue to accumulate a leading global track record.

In 1965, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries manufac-tured the first non-water-cooled exhaust gas turbine turbocharger using its own technology. This launched the history of MET Turbochargers. In the beginning, they were manufactured exclusively for MHI’s UE 2-stroke diesel engine. However, they were later applied to numerous B&W (now MAN Diesel & Turbo) and Sulzer (now Winterthur Gas & Diesel) 2-stroke engines, launching the entry of MET Turbochargers into the global market. Today, manufacturing and sales have been licensed to three engine manufacturers in South Korea and are expanding world market share.With the high performance and reliability of MET

turbochargers, the MET-SR radial turbine turbocharger series was developed and released in 1988 in response to strong market demand for application on 4-stroke engines. A multitude of turbochargers have been installed primarily on the main engines of small ships and as power plants for large vessels.The hybrid turbocharger MET83MAG, which was developed by MHI-MME last year for large vessels, was recently awarded the JMF President’s Award in the FY2015 Energy-Efficient Machinery Awards hosted by the Japan Machinery Federation. A new page has been added to the development and manufacturing history of MET turbochargers, which has now surpassed 50 years.

High Performance and Reliability. Installed on a Multitude of the MainEngines of Small Ships andthe Power Plants of Large Vessels

In response to today’s needs for IMO NOx Tier III compliant engines with super fuel-efficiency, MHI-MME completed its electronically-controlled engine lineup. The aforementioned standards were also applied to the latest engines in the LSH series. The first UEC50LSH-Eco engine went into service in September 2015 and has been accumu-lating good operational performance since then.In regards to NOx Tier III compliance, we complet-ed development of our exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. In August 2015, verification of the world’s first low-pressure EGR system was carried out in onboard testing on the bulk carrier Dream Island (shipowner: Shikishima Kisen K.K.) built by The Hakodate Dock Co., Ltd. Steps are being promoted soundly toward commercialization.To further our global development and expand our world share, we have expanded UE engine manufacturing to include licensees in South Korea, China and Vietnam in addition to our licensees in Japan.
