"Umitaka-maru" will conduct oceanographic observations along the 110th east longitude line in the waters south of Australia as part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Antarctic Area Observation Project Basic Observation," which was jointly applied for and adopted with the National Institute of Polar Research, the Research Organization of Information and Systems. going.
In addition, we have obtained research funds from the Ministry of the Environment and are conducting joint research with Kyushu University on floating plastic particles, floating debris, and seafloor litter.
On the Shioji Maru, I am participating in a wide range of research, from basic experiments on autonomous navigation and automatic maneuvering to actual ship experiments with multiple functions, various experiments on ship operation, and support for ocean observation research.
In addition, research on the geological structure of the seafloor, resource surveys, drifting debris, and seafloor debris is being conducted on the Kamitaka Maru.
Training ship, etc.
Umitaka-maru
In addition to conducting practical training and research on board ships in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, etc., students of the Department of Marine Science are provided with advanced maritime training through ocean voyages.

Application for joint use of training ships for educational purposes
At Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, we are currently conducting joint use of "education," "research," and "investigation" with other educational and research institutes using training ships owned by the university.
Our university currently owns three training ships: the Umitaka Maru, the Kamitaka Maru, and the Shioji Maru.
Using these training vessels, our university trains and produces leaders in industry, government, and academia who are active internationally in the maritime field. It has served as a center of education.
Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology contributes to the development of marine science and technology by providing these training ships not only to the university but also to educational and research institutions that do not have training ships.
This time, among the training ships, "Kamitaka Maru" and "Shioji Maru", we have established a system and organization for joint use in education. By providing a place for offshore education using the "Shioji Maru", we decided to aim for further development of Japan's marine science and technology education.
As a general rule, training, education, and guidance on shipboard life on the training ships "Kamitaka Maru" and "Shiodo Maru" are provided by faculty members of our university and faculty members of the boarding universities. To find out what kind of education is possible, please see the details of shared use of each training ship for education below, and please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
In addition, "joint use" that corresponds to this case corresponds to educational training that is given credits at the university where you use it.
If you wish to apply for the use of our training ship for purposes other than the above, such as research, please contact us separately.
