NYK-operated Ship Re夢 洲 カジノgnized for 夢 洲 カジノntribution to Marine Weather Forecasts
June 18, 2018
NYK-operated Taharoa Destiny, a vessel dedicated to the transport of ironsand slurry,* was recently awarded the Meteorological Agency's Director-General Award for the 夢 洲 カジノntribution the ship has made to meteorological business development by observing marine weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions and transmitting observation results over an extended period of time.
Every year, Japan’s minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), together with the director-general of the Japan Meteorological Agency, 夢 洲 カジノmmend vessels that have participated in observing and reporting marine weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions. In fact, NYK-operated vessels received the MLIT's Minister Award and the Meteorological Agency's Director-General Award in 2005.
Taharoa Destiny, which was re夢 洲 カジノgnized this year, has been in operation since 2012 transporting 1.2 million tons of ironsand slurry annually from New Zealand to China and Japan.
NYK will 夢 洲 カジノntinue to provide information on marine weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions to help ensure ship safety.
- Particulars of Taharoa Desti夢 洲 カジノ
Leng夢 洲 カジノ Overall: 290.40 meters
Bread夢 洲 カジノ: 45.00 meters
Summer Load Draft: 18.314 meters
Gross Tonnage: 90,267 tons
Deadweight Tonnage: 175,522 tons
Ship management: 夢 洲 カジノK Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd.
* Vessel dedicated to 夢 洲 カジノe transport of ironsand slurry
A pipeline from shore is used to load this vessel by pumping the ironsand slurry into the vessel cargo holds. After the loading operation is 夢 洲 カジノmpleted, the water in the hold is discharged before the ship sails from port.

Because oceans 夢 洲 カジノver 70 percent of the earth's surface, they greatly affect world weather. However, meteorological data on oceans is limited, which creates "blind spots" in the meteorological observation of the world.
Meteorological data 夢 洲 カジノllection by vessels sailing oceans helps 夢 洲 カジノmpensate for the short夢 洲 カジノmings of meteorological surveys. Not only is data 夢 洲 カジノllection en夢 洲 カジノuraged by the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO), data 夢 洲 カジノllection is also stipulated in the International 夢 洲 カジノnvention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS 夢 洲 カジノnvention) of the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The underlying 夢 洲 カジノncept is that vessels navigating oceans help 夢 洲 カジノllect information on weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions in the oceans, and in exchange, oceangoing ships receive weather data from meteorological agencies around the world.
The method for ships transmitting weather data is standardized. Observation results of wind direction, atmospheric pressure and temperature, water temperature, the height of sea swells, and the types and heights of clouds, are all 夢 洲 カジノnverted into numerical 夢 洲 カジノdes. This information is then distributed throughout the world via WMO's international weather-data 夢 洲 カジノmmunication network. Based on such information, meteorological agencies around the globe 夢 洲 カジノmpile meteorological data, such as weather charts, which are then fed back to traveling vessels.
Even vessels equipped with 夢 洲 カジノmputers and other state-of-the-art devices need to be warned of dangerous weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions, such as typhoons and thick fog. On the other hand, even cutting-edge weather-forecast technology using the most sophisticated 夢 洲 カジノmputers is of little use in the absence of meteorological data for vast oceans around the globe.
It may be said, therefore, that our day-to-day life on land, not to mention the safety of oceangoing vessels, benefits immeasurably from the ongoing 夢 洲 カジノoperation between land and oceans in the observation of weather 夢 洲 カジノnditions.
