Mitsubishi delivers 'Toyofuji Maru 2'

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan has recently delivered ‘Toyofuji Maru 2’, a car and general cargo carrier, to its owner Toyofuji Shipping.

The vessel measures 165 metres in length, 27.6 metres in beam, with a 6.5-metre draught and a depth of 24.15 metres. The 6,090DWT tonne vessel was delivered in late August and is driven by one 11,935kW Mistubishi-UE 7UEC52LSE running at 127rpm. ‘Toyofuji Maru 2’ has a cruising speed of 21 knots and can carry 2,003 cars and 22 crew. In the design stage of the vessel, special attention was paid to reduce environmental load. The newly developed hull form, high performance propeller with HVFC (Hub Vortex Free Cap) and the latest model of main engine (Mitsubishi-UE diesel engine) achieve good propulsive performance to save the fuel oil consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, the fuel conditioner enhances the complete combustion in the main engine, and the exhaust gas filters in the funnel prevent air pollution by the dust and/or mist.
