The Muroto-class colliers (室戸型給炭艦,, Muroto-gata Kyūtankan) were a class of collier of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), serving from roughly the end of World War I into World War II. Two vessels were built in 1918-19 under the Eight-four fleet plan.

Background

In 1917, World War I was stagnant. The lengthy war led to an increase in shipping and a shortage of merchant ships.
The IJN utilized steamship companies to perform coal transportation duties. However, this expedient was very costly. The IJN decided to build new colliers under the Eight-four fleet plan.
Their design was ordinary, because the IJN did not impose any special requirements on them.

Service

In the 1920s, they engaged in coal transportation duties.
In February 1932, the Muroto was remodeled, becoming an auxiliary hospital ship. She was refitted as a supply ship in 1941.
In World War II, the value of coal as fuel fell. The ships engaged in transporting goods and troops.
