Number 2 is "Shintokyo Maru" (新東京丸 - note that it's written right to left on your photo!), IMO No. 8351261, I will check the other ones soon.

Cheers

No. 3 is indeed "Jubilee", IMO No. 9038256.

No. 4 is the "Ashinoko Maru", you got it right.

Cheers

Vlad

Well I have some unknown ships left:

1. RIGERU: Is this the right translation?
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2944028

2. Unknown MARU: signs seems to be easy...
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2943446

3. Unknown Fishing vessel: See Picture "Fischer"

4. Can the name "City of Kobe" match?

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend - Marc

For the second one (XYZ) I tried the writing tool also, but couldn't get anything for the fourth character.  But the others would seem to indicate that is is DAI---- MARU No.2.
But that hasn't led me anywhere.

The only candidates I can find currently on Japanese register:
DAIETSU MARU No.2 (IMO 8923909) 第二大越丸
https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/italy_maruii/GALLERY/show_image.html?id=71565478&no=1

DAIFUKU MARU No.2 (IMO 9140231) 第二大福丸

Hi Marc,

Your "City of Kobe" photo belongs to the "Kikusui", MMSI 431005194.

Cheers

Thanks Vlad - That's it!

@ David - Thanks for trying, but I think both of them don't have the same shape? - I will try further on!

Kind regards Marc

I agree - I was trying to show that "DAI" was probably right, but indeed neither of these two.

Any other pics, particularly showing the stern?

No David - unfortnately no one of the stern, but only this one: A Part of the name - the number 801 and on the top you can see, that the a plat with the (former?) name has been removed...

Good Luck ;-)

Hi Marc, this is the "Daiyu Maru" ("大祐丸"). This name, however, is rather common, so I don't know which one of them.

Google translates 第二大祐丸 as DAISUKE MARU No.2, but that doesn't lead anywhere either, and DAIYU seems right, looking at photos of other ships of that name.

However, this may well be the one: this webpage records the allocation of radio station for ship 第二大祐丸 on 12 July 2018, MMSI 431401841
http://www.tele.soumu.go.jp/musen/SearchServlet?pageID=4&IT=G&DFCD=0000514664&DD=1&styleNumber=12
This MMSI was previously listed to FUKUTOKU MARU NO.3 ex-GOKO MARU (IMO 8961822), which looks a good match:

Great David - that is a match! I'm sure! Comparing my other pictures... perfect.
Many Thanks!

Do you think, that here "RIGERU" is the right name?

The name "りげる" actually translates as "Rigel", and there's even a pilot vessel with the IMO number 9130341 connected to this name, but I don't know if it's the same one.

Thanks Vlad - I changed the name to "RIGEL" - Great!
The IMO you mentioned seems to belong to a Danish vessel:

There is a new batch of unidentified Japanese vessels in Mystery Ships by "foggy".  Hope someone can help with IDs (at least one has visible Japanese Official Number identified)
