Seiun Maru is a Japanese training ship that entered service on 25 September 1997, the second vessel to carry the name. Sumitomo Heavy Industries built her as a training ship for maritime education institutions and as the successor of the large first Seiun Maru, and the Crown Prince and Princess, now the Emperor and Empress, attended her launch ceremony in 1997 and cut the rope. She has a gross tonnage of 5,890 tons, the IMO number 9177600 and a home port of Tokyo. The Japanese maritime education agency JMETS operates her, and she still sails to Japanese ports, where she is opened to the public, as at Nagoya in November 2025.
