2025.10.27 Events Those who want to study at university Companies / researchers Local / general people

　In Japan, a country surrounded by the sea on all sides, more than 99% of trade volume is carried out by maritime transport (international shipping). Furthermore, Japan boasts one of the world's top three shipbuilding industries, which builds the ships that support international shipping. As one of the world's leading shipping and shipbuilding nations, Japan is currently leading the world in various global warming countermeasures aimed at sustainable development. One of these is efforts related to next-generation fuels for ships, with development underway to use fuels that have a smaller environmental impact than conventional fossil fuels.

　In this course, a professor at our university who is a former chief engineer will explain what it means to be an "engineer," who is in charge of the engine, the heart of a ship that is responsible for international shipping. After that, a lecturer from Namura Shipbuilding, one of Japan's leading shipyards, will talk about the environment and efforts surrounding the shipping and shipbuilding industries regarding next-generation fuels and decarbonization, and we will then introduce our university's efforts related to next-generation fuels.

　Anyone interested in shipping and ships, or anyone considering applying to our university, is encouraged to apply.
