Vessel Description

The ROKURYU MARU is a small Japanese-flagged coastal cargo vessel of 499 gross tons, a tonnage figure commonly associated with vessels operating under Japanese domestic coastal shipping regulations. Built in 1997, she is typical of the class of short-sea and coastal traders that form the backbone of Japan's extensive domestic maritime freight network.

Operating under the Japanese flag with call sign JL6524 and MMSI 431500553, the vessel is registered under Japan's domestic shipping framework. Her dimensions and tonnage indicate she is well-suited for smaller port facilities throughout the Japanese archipelago, including regional and secondary ports that form the country's extensive domestic cargo distribution network.
