The Nisshin Maru (日新丸) was the primary vessel[5] of the Japanese whaling fleet and was the world's only whaler factory ship.[6] It was the research base ship for the Institute of Cetacean Research for 2002 to 2007.[7] It had a tonnage of 8,145 GT and is the largest member and flagship of the five-ship whaling fleet, headed by leader Shigetoshi Nishiwaki. The ship was based in Japan in Shimonoseki harbor[8] and was owned by Tokyo-based Kyodo Senpaku, which is a subsidiary of the Institute of Cetacean Research.[9]
