We have been building customs ships since 1997. Again with the increasing demands for large-size and high-speed vessels, high-tensile steel ships are gradually being replaced by aluminum ships.
5. High-Speed Passenger Ships
<Table 8-1>
Gross Tonnage and Number of Boats by Type
Gross Tonnage and Number of Boats by Type
1. The above table shows aggregates of figures in the vessel type and material columns of the vessels in service by sea route table. Data of vessels not in service, including reserve ship, are not included.
2. If the vessel enters two or more services, only information concernint the major route is included to avoid an overlap.
3. If an automobile transport is placed in commission for purposes other than transporting cars, it is regarded as a passenger or cargo ship.
4. Vessels counted repeatedly among local offices are excluded in the national total.
Looking at passenger ships, there are very few light alloy ships. But for high-speed ships, light alloy ships are increasing year by year.
<Table 8-2>
High Speed Vessels in Service
|
Note 1: The above table is compiled based on "High Speed Vessels Service" issued by Passenger Boats of Japan.
Note 2: Record of survey results of high speed passenger ships in service as of November 1 in each region.
Note 3: Vessels meeting the following conditions are considered to be high speed passenger ships:
1. Vessel length (total length): Below 50 m
2. Service speed: Above 22 knots
3. Navigation area: Excludes far seas
|
With high-Speed ships for example, 68% are aluminum and only a few, 2%, are made of steel.
This <Photo 3> is Cobalt Arrow 5, an aluminum high-speed ship cruising West Izu. This is compared with a vessel with a hull made of high tensile steel and superstructure made of aluminum.
