Manufacture of marine equipment is our main line of business.
Our products are installed on numerous oceangoing ships navigating around the world.
We boast an extensive track record of serving well over 6,500 ships through the provision of the most reliable marine equipment and systems, thus making a name for ourselves worldwide in the maritime industry.
The types of ships we cater to vary widely, ranging from sailing ships, passenger ships, icebreakers for Antarctic research, to various types of merchant ships and workboats.
Recently, we even had our machinery and systems installed on ships associated with offshore development.
Product Outline
Low Pressure Type Deck Machinery
Low pressure type deck machinery has been developed for ships and has many excellent merits like simple construction, low noise, durability, safety, operability, walk-back characteristics, etc.
Therefore, the low pressure type has inspired confidence as deck machinery and cargo winches.
In case of windlasses and mooring winches, oil cooler and management of oil temperature are unnecessary for standard specifications.
High Pressure Type Deck Machinery
High pressure control hydraulic systems and series lines can be provided.
We have achieved a slack rope speed that is eight times faster through radial piston motors and deck machinery without drain-lines.
Electric Type Deck Machinery
Military vessels and workboats are equipped with the electric type of deck machinery.
This deck machinery prevents flow out troubles for working oil because electric type deck machinery is operated without oil.
We have adopted the inverter control method for electric type deck machinery.
This method has the strengths of speed and operability compared to hydraulic deck machinery.
We can provide a large variety of deck machinery and options suitable for the customers' service conditions.
Product Variation
We can also provide deck machinery designed to meet special specifications and towing/anchor handling winches.
Options
- Remote control device: Speed, brake, and/or clutch control
(Hydraulic, electric, steam, and wireless control methods can be provided.) - Enclosed type reduction gear
- Chain counter: Mechanical type (dial type, screw type), electric type
- Spring applied type brake (with indicator for holding power display)
- Spring applied hydraulic release type brake (with indicator for holding power display)
- Stainless steel material can be applied to brake drum surface
- Mechanical wire length indicator
- Load cell: Tension monitoring system
- Auto tension device can be applied
Towing/Anchor Handling Winches
Supply vessels are equipped with our deck machinery.
The rig is an offshore oil drilling platform.
Supply vessels are engaged in moving the rig and installing it at a new location.
Following its installation, the vessels will carry out supply operations and other various tasks.
Fukushima equips these supply vessels with towing/anchor handling winches, their primary equipment, and also provides them with a variety of deck machinery designed for use by supply vessels.

Windlasses
A windlass serves the purpose of the winding ship's anchor and anchor chain.
Two windlasses are installed on one ship.
Mooring Winches
A mooring winch winds the rope that tethers a ship to the pier at a port.
Four to eight mooring winches, depending on the ship size, are installed on one ship.
Ex. For Merchant Vessels
Many types of ships navigating the world's seas are equipped with deck machinery manufactured by Fukushima.
Notable examples of installing Fukushima's deck machinery on merchant vessels are as follows:
