The 11,000GT-class passenger and vehicle ferry 'Sunflower Gold' was designed, built at the Shimonoseki Shipyard and Machinery Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and delivered to the owner, Diamond Ferry.
The 'Sunflower Gold' is now engaged in the regular service between Oita and Kobe. The ship has improved transport efficiency compared to the previous vessels, increasing car loading capacity by 40 percent. In addition, the number of private rooms is increased. Furthermore, for safe navigation, a chart radar system, which can superimpose electronic navigational charts on a radar display is provided. A single screw driven engine has been adopted to reduced fuel oil consumption. The double hull construction reduces the risk of oil pollution in case of damage. The Japanese barrier free rule is applied to the ship, so that the passengers, including persons with a disability, can move safely and enjoy the travel with various barrier free facilities on board.
