Abstract: A navigation method for a ship which includes: a plurality of main generators that feed power to navigation equipment used in normal navigation and appliances for the living quarters provided within a ship body; and an emergency generator that feeds power to emergency equipment in case of fire or flood. The navigation method includes: an emergency power feeding step for feeding power to the emergency equipment using the emergency generator when at least one of the plurality of main generators is disabled due to fire or flood; and a return-to-port power feeding step for feeding power to return-to-port equipment, required for navigation for returning to port, using the main generators and the emergency generator after the fire or flood has subsided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a control device that includes a first temperature detection unit that detects a partition wall temperature of a tank main body in which liquefied gas is contained, and a second temperature detection unit that detects a temperature of a skirt that supports the tank main body. The control device further includes a temperature difference acquisition unit that acquires a temperature difference between the partition wall temperature detected by the first temperature detection unit and the temperature of the skirt which is detected by the second temperature detection unit, and a determination unit that determines whether or not a joint between the tank main body and the skirt is rapidly cooled by the liquefied gas on the basis of the partition wall temperature and the temperature difference.

Abstract: A ship desulfurization device for desulfurizing exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust gas generation device mounted to a ship includes: an absorber including an absorber body unit defining an interior space having a longitudinal direction and having an exhaust gas introducing port formed on an end portion of the absorber body unit with respect to the longitudinal direction, the exhaust gas introducing port being in communication with the interior space; and an exhaust gas introducing device for introducing exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust gas generation device to the absorber body unit. When L is a maximum length of the interior space of the absorber body unit with respect to the longitudinal direction, and W is a maximum width of the interior space of the absorber body unit with respect to a lateral direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, a ratio (W:L) of the maximum width W to the maximum length L is within a range of 1:over 1.1 and 1:6.0 or under 6.0.

Abstract: A point calculation device includes a shaking determination unit configured to acquire weather information or detection information of a vibration sensor mounted on a vehicle and determine a shaking of the vehicle according to the acquired information and a point calculation unit configured to calculate use points for the vehicle according to a determination of the shaking determination unit from a departure location to an arrival location of the vehicle.

Abstract: A point calculation device includes an actual movement route calculation unit configured to calculate an actual movement route of a vehicle from departure to arrival, and a point calculation unit configured to calculate use points according to a difference between the actual movement route and a preset movement route from a departure location to an arrival location.

Abstract: This ship includes a ship body, a fuel tank chamber, a stern-side engine room, a bow-side engine room, a main fuel line and a sub-fuel line, and a pump mechanism. The main fuel line connects a fuel tank, a stern-side power generation unit, and a bow-side power generation unit through the bow-side engine room. The sub-fuel line connects at least the fuel tank and the stern-side power generation unit, and is disposed through a section different from the bow-side engine room through which the main fuel line passes. The pump mechanism selectively feeds fuel into the main fuel line or the sub-fuel line from the fuel tank.

Abstract: A safety valve system includes a main valve that includes an introduction port into which pressure from a tank is introduced, and a release port to release the pressure; a high-pressure side pilot valve and a low-pressure side pilot valve that are set to mutually different operating pressure values and that release pressure by making the introduction port and the release port communicate with each other when the pressure exceeds the operating pressure value; and a switching unit that switches so that only the low-pressure side pilot valves, which excludes the high-pressure side pilot valve with the highest operating pressure value, do not operate.

Abstract: Provided in a system and a method for guiding evacuation in a ship are: a personal distribution information obtaining unit configured to obtain, based on information from cameras provided in the ship, passenger position information in predetermined areas in the ship; an evacuation route calculating unit configured to formulate, based on the passenger position information from the personal distribution information obtaining unit and passage passability information set from event information of evacuation, evacuation routes; an evacuation information managing unit configured to share information with the personal distribution information obtaining unit and the evacuation route calculating unit, and output the evacuation routes formulated by the evacuation route calculating unit; and an evacuation guiding unit configured to modify, based on the evacuation routes output by the evacuation information managing unit, evacuation guidance display provided in passages in the ship.

Abstract: To provide a non-spherical tank which includes: a circular cylindrical portion; a top portion disposed continuously with an upper side of the circular cylindrical portion; and a bottom portion disposed continuously with a lower side of the circular cylindrical portion, wherein the top portion includes: a spherical shell portion which is formed of a portion of a spherical body having a radius R1, and is disposed at an upper end of the top portion; and a toroidal portion which is disposed continuously with the upper side of the circular cylindrical portion and with a lower side of the spherical shell portion respectively, and is formed of a portion of a spherical body having a radius R2 smaller than the radius R1, and an expression 1.0<R/H1<1.5 is satisfied. Here, “R” denotes a radius of the circular cylindrical portion, and “H1” denotes a height of the top portion in a vertical direction.

Abstract: A ship includes a main pipe that guides CNG whose pressure is increased by an LNG pump to the engine; a pressure sensor that measures the pressure of CNG to be supplied to the engine; a pressure adjustment valve that adjusts the pressure of the CNG to a set pressure according to engine load; a differential pressure sensor that measures a differential pressure before and after the pressure adjustment valve; and a buffer tank that absorbs a variable pressure of the CNG in the main pipe. The discharge pressure of the LNG pump is controlled such that the differential pressure is increased when the pressure is low, and the differential pressure is decreased when the pressure is high.

Abstract: A ship (1) includes a hull (2) having side shells (3A, 3B) formed at both sides in athwart ship direction, a pair of watertight compartments (6A, 6B) installed along the side shells (3A, 3B) of both sides in the athwart ship direction in the hull (2) and portions of which are divided and formed by the side shells (3A, 3B), a connection section (7) configured to bring the pair of watertight compartments (6A, 6B) in connection with each other, an opening/closing valve (8) installed at the connection section (7), and a control device (9) configured to control the opening and closing of the opening/closing valve (8), wherein the control device (9) switches the opening/closing valve (8) in an open state into a closed state when a predetermined condition is satisfied after receiving a signal indicating damage to the side shell (3A) has occurred.
