Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Condensation inside the marine container occurs during voyages owing to weather changes. In this study, we define the condensation probability along one of the major routes for container ships between Asia and Europe. First, the inside and outside air conditions were measured on land in Japan, and a correlation analysis was conducted to derive their relationship. Second, onboard measurements were conducted for 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit ship to determine the variation in outside air conditions. It was shown that the condensation probability remains at approximately 50% in 3 cases during the winter season, especially in the westbound route, regardless of the loading ports. However, the condensation probability is lowered by 10%-20% if the container is loaded at lower latitudes, e.g., in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in voyage from Europe to Asia in summer and in fall, and in voyage from Asia to Europe.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
関係者に調査した結果、汗濡れによる貨物被害は相当数発生し甚大な損害額が想像されるが、損害保険での補填を都度行うなど場当たり的な対応に止まっている。貨物損傷の詳細が公開されず、研究成果も有効に反映されない現状を踏まえ、時空間スケールでの汗濡れ状況を予測評価した全く新しいコンテナ輸送の方法論構築の必要性を確信した。貨物損傷の低減により食糧品をはじめ生活必需品の安全かつ円滑な貨物流通に大きく貢献できる。輸送時間、燃料消費量、CO2排出量等に加え、汗濡れ確率と両立した新たな海上コンテナ輸送の概念は全く存在せず、本構想は我々の日常生活に計り知れないインパクトと波及効果が期待される。
