Abstract
The Super Eco-Ship Project was conducted by the National Maritime Research Institute of Japan (NMRI) as a national project from April, 2001, under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It aims at achieving the ship with environment friendliness and economical benefit. The Super Eco-Ship has high propulsion efficiency by contra-rotating propeller (CRP) effect. The high propulsive efficiency due to the combination with the optimum hull design and podded propulsion system enables the reduction of CO2 compared with the conventional ship. In addition, the podded propulsion system enables drastically superior manoeuvrability and flexible control system in ship operation as well as high propulsive efficiency. NMRI developed, cooperated with ship owner Ube Shipping & Logistics, LTD., the modified buttock flow hull form equipped with one podded propulsion system close behind the conventional propulsion system for Cement Tanker “KOZAN MARU”. This paper introduced history on Research & Development of The Super Eco-Ship Project and described the Hybrid type’s Electric Podded Propulsion Cement Tanker.
