Onomichi Marine tech center to be established

Eco Marine Power (EMP) in co-operation with its strategic partner, Teramoto Iron Works Co Ltd, announced on May 1 that the two companies have agreed to establish a development and test facility in Onomichi, Hiroshima, focused on marine technologies for the shipping and offshore industries.

The new facility, to be known as the Onomichi Marine-Tech Test Center or Onomichi MTTC, will be co-located at the Teramoto Iron Works Chojahara Workshop.

In addition, other marine technologies will be tested at the site such as the TM-600 Jack Up System which was developed by Teramoto Iron Works and was the first device of this type to be manufactured in Japan.

A number of other companies will also be involved in activities at the Onomichi MTTC including The Furukawa Battery Company and KEI System Limited.

It is also planned to build and test a complete Aquarius MRE System at the site with production due to start during 2015.
