Hitachi Zosen Completes

Fisheries Replenishment Ship

The Japan-Tuna No.3, built by Hitachi Zosen's Ariake Works for the

Japan Tuna Fisheries Co-operative Association. She is designed to serve as a replenishment vessel for the Japanese Pacific tuna fleet.

The replenishment ship Japan-Tuna No.3 was recently completed by Hitachi Zosen's Ariake

Works, Japan. The 102.64-meter (336.7-feet) long ship possesses a breadth of 18.4 meters (60.35 feet) and an 8.5-meter (27.9-feet) depth.

The planned summer load draft of the vessel is 7 meters (22.96 feet).

The ship was constructed for the Federation of

Japan Tuna Fisheries Co-operative Associations andhas a deadweight of5,895 metrictons (5,801.9 long tons). She will serve as a replenishment vessel supplying the Japanese tuna fleet in the

Pacific, between Hawaii and Central America, with fuel, food and other necessities.

To carry out this task, the Japan-Tuna No.3 is equipped with freezers, refrigerators and store- rooms for dry goods, consigned goods, oil drums, and gas cylinders. The ship's cargo tanks have a capacity of 5,000 kiloliters of "A" fuel oil.

To assist the Japan-Tuna No.3 in its difficult task of distributing supplies among a working fishing fleet, a variable-pitch propeller is pro- vided to enable delicate adjustment to the vessel's speed and a second control room is located on its starboard quarter so that the crew can more closely monitor the ship's steering.

While at sea, the ship's 31 man crew utilizes a highly maneuverable supply boat to ferry food, oil drums and other equipment to the Japanese fishing fleet. The boat is positioned on a star- board side davit, where ferry operations can be carried out under the supervision of the after control station.

The ship's main engine, an Akasaka 7UEC37LA by Mitsubishi, develops 4,900 HP at 210 rpm, giving the ship a maximum speed of 15.35 knots. When in use, the main engine drives an electric generator to supply on-board power, otherwise a backup diesel engine is available for powering the generators.
