00:00Today's Gatchiriman Day is...
00:04Boat Business!
00:07Do you know what the biggest vehicle on Earth is?
00:13It's not a train,
00:15it's not a plane,
00:17it's not a truck.
00:20Yes, it's a boat!
00:22It's big, isn't it?
00:24It's big, so it can carry a lot!
00:27If you look at how boats are transported in Japan,
00:3099.6% of them are carried by boat!
00:35That's amazing!
00:36In other words,
00:37if you have an amazing boat,
00:39it's bound to be profitable!
00:42So,
00:43we're going to do a thorough coverage of the latest boats!
00:47The first time on TV!
00:49We're going to infiltrate the giant boat-making company
00:52that makes the best boats in Japan!
00:55And then,
00:56we're going to build it with a giant UFO catcher!
01:00I'm going to drop it!
01:01Okay, stop!
01:02Cool!
01:03For some reason,
01:04ZENECON is going to build a boat!
01:06What's the identity of the super innovative boat that didn't seem to exist?
01:11Huh?
01:12It's a scavenger!
01:14It's just a regular boat.
01:16Profitable boat business!
01:19It's a perfect 30-minute boat trip for the New Year!
01:24Good morning!
01:25Today, we're going to talk about profitable boats!
01:28I love boats!
01:2999.6% of the trade is done by boat!
01:32Without a boat,
01:33our lives wouldn't be the same!
01:35That's right.
01:36Boats are precious!
01:37That's true.
01:38I'm not saying I love boats!
01:39That's true.
01:40We have to appreciate boats!
01:42That's right.
01:43Let's take a good look at the boats!
01:45Good morning!
01:46Good morning!
01:47Kamiji-kun!
01:48Yes?
01:49Come on in!
01:50Boats!
01:51Boats!
01:52Boats!
01:54The bottom of a boat
01:59The oars of a boat
02:03The look of a boat
02:05I've always seen boats, since I was a baby.
02:08A modern-day boat
02:12This is cool!
02:15Wow!
02:18The ecstasy of boats
02:20Let's introduce our guest today!
02:22Morinaga Takuro-san and Kamiji Yusuke-san!
02:24Nice to meet you!
02:27What about you, Kamiji-kun?
02:29You said you were going to build a ship. What kind of ship is it?
02:31I have a license for a ship.
02:32What is it?
02:33It's a small ship.
02:35Oh, really?
02:36Yes.
02:36I'm from Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture.
02:39There's a place called a dock.
02:40Oh, I see.
02:40It's where you build ships.
02:41That's right.
02:42It's a place where you build ships.
02:44My grandfather worked at a dock.
02:46So, since I was little, I grew up looking at ships.
02:50Oh, I see.
02:51Please tell us a lot about ships today.
02:53That's not all!
02:55I came here to study.
02:57As globalization progresses, the demand for ships will increase automatically.
03:02In addition, rather than carrying it by truck,
03:05it is better to carry it by rail or ship.
03:08That way, it doesn't produce greenhouse gas.
03:10I see.
03:10So, the government and others are trying to move the demand.
03:15So, most of the ships are moving by heavy cruisers now,
03:18but there are also ships that move in different shapes, right?
03:20Yes, and the latest ships are coming out one after another.
03:24I see.
03:26So, the technology innovation in ships is being carried out now.
03:28Yes.
03:28First of all, the ship business is profitable.
03:30This is the first time the TV has entered the scene.
03:32Yes, it's the first time.
03:34First, we came to Imabari Zousen in Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture.
03:42Good morning.
03:43Thank you for coming.
03:46This is Mr. Inage of Marugame Factory.
03:50He is making a profitable ship here.
03:53Let's have a look.
03:55Wow, it's huge.
03:56Wow, it's huge.
03:57A car carrying a large piece of iron.
04:00It's so small when it's moving.
04:02A huge crane.
04:07There are so many big things.
04:12Overall, the scale is huge.
04:15It's amazing.
04:17What kind of ships does Imabari Zousen make a profit from?
04:21Here it is.
04:23Wow, it's really huge.
04:25Yes.
04:26What kind of ship is this?
04:27This is a car carrying ship.
04:30A car carrying ship?
04:31You can load 7,000 cars on this ship.
04:347,000?
04:36Yes.
04:38That's right.
04:39Imabari Zousen is good at making big ships that can carry cargo and cars.
04:46It's cool.
04:47This ship is 200 meters long and quite big.
04:52However, Imabari Zousen's ship is twice as big.
04:57It's the world's largest ship.
04:59It's 400 meters long.
05:01It's a huge container ship.
05:03It's called One Infinity.
05:06There are 24,000 containers on this ship.
05:12I don't understand.
05:14What is this?
05:16In fact, the number of containers around the world is increasing.
05:21So, the world is paying attention to the huge ship that can carry a lot of cargo at once.
05:28Imabari Zousen is the company that makes the largest number of huge ships in Japan.
05:36It makes more than 70 ships a year.
05:40It makes a lot of money.
05:43Let's see Imabari Zousen's know-how to make a huge ship.
05:49The first factory that Imabari Zousen will show us is the first factory.
05:54Let's take a look at the work.
05:58They're all working.
05:59They're putting water on a huge iron plate and burning it with a burner.
06:03What is this?
06:04Is this for welding?
06:05This is for welding.
06:10What is welding?
06:12It's a steel plate that is pasted on the outside of a huge ship.
06:16This is how they bend it.
06:21They burn it with a burner to make it soft.
06:24They put water on it and shrink the inside a little.
06:28They repeat this process and bend the steel plate little by little.
06:33It takes two days to bend one steel plate.
06:38It's rude, but it looks like it's faster to do it with a machine.
06:45Why do you have to do it by hand?
06:49You have to bend it in the opposite direction.
06:52It's hard to do it in a machine.
06:56That's amazing.
06:57A huge ship is actually quite complicated to bend.
07:04It's quite difficult to make this accurately with a machine.
07:08It's a craftsmanship.
07:10Moreover, if you heat the iron too much, the hole will open.
07:15If you bend it too much, you can't put it back together.
07:18It's a one-shot game.
07:21It depends on the amount of iron and gas.
07:23The degree of baking also changes.
07:25The degree of baking.
07:27If you bend the steel plate a little, you can put it side by side.
07:31They check the degree of bending of each steel plate every 1 meter and bend it.
07:37It's a woodpecker.
07:39It's twisted.
07:41Next, what did Mr. Irage show us?
07:46We're making a container ship with this No. 3 dock.
07:51This big groove is the place to build a ship called a dock.
07:57What they're making now is a container ship with a total length of 336 meters.
08:04That red thing is called a Goliath crane.
08:07It's a crane that is used to lift up a block and attach it.
08:11Goliath crane.
08:12It's about 100 meters high.
08:14It's equivalent to the height of a 30-story building.
08:17It's called a Goliath crane.
08:19This is also very big.
08:21The name is cool.
08:22Actually, the giant ship is made of the parts of the ship in the factory.
08:30They carry it to the dock and assemble it for loading and unloading.
08:39Today's work is to carry this huge block, which weighs about 1,000 tons, with a Goliath crane.
08:48They're going to attach it to this part of the container ship in the dock.
08:54This is Mr. Matsumoto, the crane director, who is in charge of this site today.
08:59Mr. Takeuchi, what's the wind speed now?
09:02The wind is important.
09:04Mr. Matsumoto is talking over the radio.
09:06He's up here on the Goliath crane.
09:09That's right. It's a port, so the wind is...
09:11Mr. Takeuchi, the crane pilot.
09:13That's cool.
09:147 to 8 meters.
09:16It's blowing quite a bit.
09:182, 5, 7, 4, 1 notch.
09:21Okay, stop.
09:232, 5, 7, 4, 1 notch.
09:25It's coming a little.
09:26You're reading the wind.
09:28The 1,000-ton block is floating.
09:32According to Mr. Matsumoto's instructions, they lift the giant block and move it to the dock.
09:39They move it to the docking point of the ship.
09:42It's a giant UFO catcher.
09:45That's right.
09:49Then they get on Mr. Matsumoto's ship.
09:54Then they lower the block.
09:59According to Mr. Matsumoto, this process is the most difficult.
10:05The block is 25 meters long, 51 meters wide, and weighs 1,000 tons.
10:12It has to fit perfectly on this spot on the ship.
10:17It can't hit the block next to it.
10:19It can't miss even a centimeter.
10:23They have to do everything according to the crane's instructions.
10:28Even the 26-year-old veteran, Mr. Matsumoto...
10:33When I lower the block from the height of a person,
10:37I get nervous until I touch the block.
10:424 notch, slide.
10:44Slide, stop.
10:463, 5, a little south.
10:483, 5, a little south.
10:52The amateurs have no idea what's going on.
10:55According to Mr. Matsumoto, Mr. Takeuchi moves the control lever little by little.
11:02He lowers the huge block by a few centimeters.
11:07It's getting closer and closer.
11:11And then...
11:13I'm lowering it.
11:16Stop.
11:20Perfect.
11:21It's done.
11:23It fits perfectly.
11:25It didn't miss even a centimeter.
11:30At last, the welding shop has finished welding the block.
11:37At Imabari Zousen, they can finish a huge container ship longer than the Tokyo Tower in just 2 months.
11:47Imabari Zousen creates a great ship and wins!
11:55You're doing a great job.
11:57You're doing more work than I expected.
11:59I thought it was more like a computer.
12:05But it's so detailed.
12:07It's amazing.
12:09With a huge ship like that, there's a problem with space.
12:14To make it more efficient,
12:16we put 1.5 seats on top of each other.
12:21At first, we make one seat.
12:24Then, we put the rest of the seats on the back of the ship.
12:31Then, it's 1.5 times more efficient.
12:36And we don't need to put the interior in the dock.
12:40So, we put it in the sea.
12:42You're going to do it on the beach.
12:43Yes.
12:44Then, there's no problem with space.
12:46I see.
12:47So, you're going to do the interior outside.
12:49You're making it more efficient.
12:51It's a great job.
12:54The ship!
12:57We came to Kawasaki Port in Kanagawa Prefecture.
13:02Good morning.
13:03Good morning.
13:04I'm Kimura from Asahi Tanker.
13:05Nice to meet you.
13:06Nice to meet you, too.
13:07What is Asahi Tanker's ship?
13:11This is the ship.
13:13Is this it?
13:14Yes.
13:15This is the world's first tanker.
13:17What?
13:18The world's first.
13:19It's small.
13:20Asahi Tanker is the world's first tanker.
13:25It's a little smaller than the tanker imported from overseas.
13:31But it looks like a normal ship.
13:36Which part is the world's first?
13:40You'll find out when you get on board.
13:46Let's go.
13:53Mr. Kamiji.
13:54Do you know what's different about this ship?
14:00There's no fire.
14:03The answer is...
14:06It's very quiet.
14:09It's moving.
14:11It's true.
14:13It's very quiet.
14:16This ship is the world's first tanker.
14:21Asahi Tanker is the world's first tanker that runs on electricity.
14:27A normal ship uses a diesel engine to generate power.
14:31The engine is on.
14:34It's noisy.
14:37It's on fire.
14:40Asahi Tanker runs on electricity.
14:43There's no engine.
14:44It's quiet.
14:45The engine sound is...
14:48It's completely different.
14:50It's not.
14:51That's why it's so quiet.
14:53It's true.
14:55Instead, the battery is this big.
14:59It weighs 35 tons.
15:0135 tons?
15:02If you convert it to an electric car, it's about 100 units.
15:06It's completely different.
15:09To charge the battery, you just need to remove the cable behind the ship and connect it to the power station.
15:18You can charge the battery for up to 12 hours in 10 hours.
15:25The price of this electric tanker is 1.4 times higher than an engine of the same size.
15:34The second one is already running.
15:39What is so popular?
15:43The first reason is that it's kind to the staff.
15:49In fact, the ship industry is in dire need of people.
15:54The reason is the living environment inside the ship.
15:59The engine sound is quite noisy.
16:02It's always vibrating.
16:05If this happens every day, it's quite stressful for the staff.
16:10Some people quit because of that.
16:13Asahi's electric tanker is quiet because it doesn't have an engine.
16:18And it doesn't vibrate much.
16:21Let's ask the captain, Mr. Kanaya.
16:25It's easy to talk to the captain.
16:28I don't have to talk to him.
16:32It's completely different.
16:35There are still many advantages of electric tankers.
16:39From now on, let's find out the advantages of electric tankers while watching Asahi's work.
16:45When the crew board the ship, they depart.
16:50You can depart right after getting on board.
16:53This is unique to electric tankers.
16:55This ship doesn't have an engine, so we don't need a heater.
17:00Normal tankers need a heater to keep the engine warm for about an hour before departure.
17:08Asahi's tanker has an engine, so we don't need a heater.
17:13You can start the engine and start the ship right away.
17:19Asahi's job is to ship fuel from Kawasaki Port to Oogata Line, which is docked at Tokyo Bay.
17:32When they arrive at Oogata Line, they fill up about 1,000 tons of fuel and that's it.
17:40Here's another secret weapon that only Asahi has.
17:46Let's take a look at Asahi after refueling.
17:54He's going right next to me.
17:58It's amazing that he can go right next to me.
18:06A normal tanker uses a long rod called a shaft to turn the screw.
18:13But this one can only go forward or backward.
18:18But in the case of Asahi, the electric motor is much smaller than the engine, so it can be attached directly to the screw.
18:30So you can freely change the direction of the screw at 360 degrees.
18:37So if you turn the screw to the side, the ship will go sideways.
18:42As a result, you can get close to Oogata Line without bumping into it.
18:47You can also get away from Oogata Line.
18:51This is the power of electricity.
18:53Asahi's tanker is a DV tanker.
18:56Let's go!
19:03Next, we went to the Takenaka Office in Koto Ward, Tokyo.
19:09Takenaka Office?
19:13It's a super new Zen-kon that Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Dome are building.
19:20Mr. Takahama in the city planning room.
19:24This time, the theme is a ship, not a building.
19:29Are you building a luxury ship?
19:33It's a great ship.
19:35He is building the most advanced luxury ship.
19:40What is it?
19:42Here it is.
19:45Is this a ship?
19:47It doesn't look like a ship, but it's a ship.
19:51It's a little rude to be so polite.
19:56It's like a sculpture made by Ikazan-ryu.
20:00But this is amazing.
20:03I see.
20:07It's like a sculpture made by Ikazan-ryu.
20:12Is this a luxury ship?
20:15I don't know what's amazing, so I'll let him get on the ship.
20:22Then...
20:25Oh, he's only on the program staff.
20:30It started to move.
20:35I thought it was being washed away, but it was going straight to the coast.
20:41Mr. Takahama, what is this?
20:44It's a sea robot.
20:46A sea robot?
20:47It's autonomous, so it's a ship that moves on its own.
20:51Yes, this square-shaped object is...
20:56Kakenaka Company, a company of robots, a mechanical manufacturer, and a professor at a university, etc.
21:02Developed by gathering the knowledge of professionals on the road.
21:07The most advanced unmanned autonomous driving ship.
21:11Its name is the sea robot.
21:15It's interesting.
21:16But what is this ship used for?
21:20There are quite a few places where you can't cross the bridge.
21:26So I'm thinking about using it as a small crossing ship.
21:32In fact, there are many rivers and waterways in Japanese cities.
21:38As a result, when moving, it's close to the straight line, but it's a long way to cross the bridge.
21:47For example, Toyosu in Tokyo is surrounded by water.
21:52You have to cross nine bridges.
21:56If there is a sea robot surrounded by such water,
22:01You can get close without a bridge, and it should be convenient to go.
22:07That's why this sea robot was developed.
22:11And it's autonomous.
22:13But at this speed, isn't it a little too slow?
22:20So, let's verify.
22:24Is the sea robot really closer than crossing the bridge?
22:31There is a river in the back of the Takenaka Company.
22:35The distance to the coast is 50 meters.
22:39If you try to go around the bridge, it's about 400 meters.
22:43Which one is faster?
22:45Let's compete with the sea robot and Eddie Yoshikawa.
22:51Ready, start!
22:57When the sea robot is about half way,
23:01Eddie Yoshikawa is still around here.
23:05And about 50 seconds from the start, the sea robot reached the coast.
23:11Eddie Yoshikawa finally arrived after 30 seconds.
23:16Are you already here?
23:18Thank you for your hard work.
23:20It looks like the sea robot has a great approach effect.
23:27My grandfather was a captain of the Watashibune.
23:30In the case of the Watashibune,
23:32depending on the weather and time,
23:34if there are no people, you have to wait for a long time.
23:36It's quite difficult.
23:38You don't have to wait for a long time just to be unmanned.
23:41You don't have to spend a lot of money.
23:44But it's quite difficult to operate this ship unmanned.
23:51If you want to operate the ship automatically,
23:56you have to make it a ship that doesn't need a ship license to operate.
24:01What are the conditions for the ship?
24:04The size is 3m x 3m.
24:07The power is less than 2 horsepower.
24:10That's why this sea robot is so big and moves so slowly.
24:18And the location of the ship is determined by GPS.
24:23With four screws at the bottom of the ship,
24:26it can move 360 degrees in any direction.
24:31The price of this sea robot is 10 million yen per seat.
24:37Since it was completed in December of last year,
24:3915 seats have already been sold.
24:43It seems that the sea robot is going to be more and more solid.
24:49It's quite important.
24:52Various companies are participating in the project.
24:56They are studying how to use the sea robot.
24:59For example, they will arrange a lot of sea robots and hold an event.
25:04At the end of the event, the sea robot will come out.
25:08It's amazing. It's a dream world.
25:11The most analog-looking sea robot was the latest.
25:15We will ask Mr. Morinaga a question.
25:18Mr. Morinaga, please tell us about the ship business you recommend.
25:21That's after the commercial break.
25:26Please tell us about the ship business you recommend.
25:28That's Sunflower Kamui.
25:33Sunflower is a company that connects Oarai and Tomakomai.
25:39Next year, this ship will be changed to LNG, liquid natural gas.
25:47LNG has a smaller environmental load than LNG.
25:52It has to be included in the environment.
25:56It's a time when natural gas becomes fuel.
26:01What is the beginning of the new year?
26:03This is the true DX.
26:05There is no way out.
26:06The president has gathered.
26:08How is it?
26:09The economic effect is great.
26:11How much is Sunflower?
26:13The company is going to change.
26:17What is the future of the company?
26:19What is the future of the company?
26:21What is the future of the company?
26:23What is the future of the company?
26:26If you want to see this program again, please use TVER or U-NEXT.
