Vessel Description
The Kaiei Maru is a Japanese-flagged small coastal cargo vessel operating under the Japan domestic shipping registry.

Vessels of this class and tonnage are typical of Japan's extensive coastal shipping infrastructure, known as "Uchikourou" (domestic coastal trade), which plays a vital role in connecting Japan's many islands and coastal communities.
