VAYU to be replaced in 2013 by the recently ordered DAIKAN MARU
The two Japanese ferry operators Tsugaru Kaikyo and Sado Kisen have on June 28, 2012 both placed orders for new ferries, while Shin Nihonkai takes early delivery oftheir two Mitsubishi-built vessels. On the route Hakodate - Oma, the current Tsugaru Kaikyo Ferry's VAYU, built 1988, will be replaced in 2013 by the new DAIKAN MARU. Sado Kisen placed their order with Kanda Zosen for delivery in 2014. She will be put in service between Niigata and Ryotsu on the Sado island. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries delivered a few weeks early the 17000-gt SUZURAN (means lily in English) and is to be followed just a few days later by sister SUISEN (daffodil). The two vessels incorporate unique features, e.g.an open air bath.
