- Feature
- The Izumi/Hibiki car ferry operates on the Shinmoji-Izumiotsu (Osaka) service, which has the highest cargo shipping capacity of any ferry on the Seto Inland Sea. She has significantly enhanced the car on-board capacity via upsizing, while achieving 20% or more in power saving by introducing a number of the latest energy-saving technologies. She also has a very quiet, fulfilling space and is expected to contribute as a driver for the modal shift to the reduction in environmental loads and the development of the regional economy.
