Good-bye "Fujimaru" From Harumi to the last cruise

[Yotaro] June 28, 2013 17:00

IMG_0750.JPG At the Harumi Passenger Terminal, the familiar passenger ship "Fujimaru" will retire at the end of June. Fujimaru is Japan's first full-fledged luxury cruise ship owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and operated by the Japan Charter Cruise. In 1989, the first year of the cruise was also called the first year of the cruise. In 25 years, the voyage over 70 laps of the earth was used by 500,000 people. It's lonely that the pure white hull, orange fannel marks, chic and beautiful appearances will not be seen.

 "Fujimaru" In 1987, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines ordered an order from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe Shipyard, and the launch ceremony was held on September 10, the following year. The name of the ship was publicly recruited, and was named by Minister of Transport Shintaro Ishihara at the time, and Mrs. Ishihara cut a champagne with a golden axe and broke a champagne, creating "FujiIMG_0762.JPGmaru". In 1989, after a trial run, it began to be active as Japan's first large cruise liner in April. The total tonnage is 23,235 tons, a total length of 167 m, a width of 24 m, a navigation speed of 18 knots, and a passenger capacity of 600. The eight-layer deck has a hall, theater, pool, large public bath, etc. The class is international ocean and the port of registration is Tokyo. Recently, he was mainly active on charter cruises.

 "Fujimaru" On the evening of June 30, after the "Thank you! Fujimaru" ceremony at the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal, depart for the last cruise to Hatsushima, return home on July 1, enter the dock, and probably sell to foreign countries It is said that. Even if the name changes, I want you to call at Harumi again one day and show a beautiful appearance.

By the way, if the Olympic and Paralympic Games are to be held in Japan in 2020, this place seems to be a candidate site for an athlete village.
