    Fuji Maru, sailing the blue, blue ocean??

    Farewell Nippon Maru!




    As everyone is no doubt already aware by now, this year will most likely be the last year the SSEAYP will be held on board a ship called the Nippon Maru. The Nippon Maru will be refitted after this year's SSEAYP.




    I'm sure we will all miss our beloved Nippon Maru. Fortunately, SSEAYP will still continue, but this time on board the ship Fuji Maru. On 22nd June, the Fuji Maru visited the port of Ishinomaki in Japan and Momo JPY06, managed to take some pictures of the ship while she was there.

    As you can see they both look very similar. See if you can spot the differences!



    Hello Fuji Maru!


    Thank you to Momo JPY06 for the wonderful pictures!
