Mix and Match Repower in Japan

In Japan, an interesting repower has created a suc- cessful triple-engined high speed ferry. The Elegant

No.2 serves a route in the Nagasaki area. A single

MTU 12V396 delivers 1979 hp at 1946 rpm through a ZF BWK750 (1.750:1 ratio) marine gear to a Kamewa 56BII water jet. Flanking the water jet engine, a pair of Cummins KTA50-M2 delivering 1875 hp at 1950 rpm to conventional 1.08 x 0.95-m propellers through ZF BWK4640 gears with 1.595:1 ratios. The combined propulsion systems give the 36.25 x 6.8 x 2.8 m, 138 gt vessel, a 35- knot top speed and a 32-knot operating speed at 1750 rpm. This allows the ferry, Elegant No.2, to complete its run one way between Nagasaki and Sanggoto in 90 minutes. The boat accommodates 230 passengers with a crew of five. The owner is reportedly pleased with both the performance and the cost savings of the installation. The

Elegant No.2 was built at the Kumamoto Dock Co., Ltd. to an in house design in 1999 and was returned to the builder for this repower. The engine sale is the first by newly appointed Cummins distributor Komatsu Diesel of Japan.
