Image of LNG carrier to be built
On February 28, NYK and 7spinカジノ Co. Ltd.,17spinカジノ. Ltd., agreed to a 20-year contract for the charter and joint ownership of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. NYK also concluded a contract with Japan Marine United Corporation (JMU) for construction of the LNG carrier, which will have a cargo tank capacity of 165,000 cubic meters.
At present, NYK and 7spinカジノ jointly own two LNG carriers. The newly built vessel will be the third operated under joint ownership by the two companies. Upon completion of shipbuilding in 2017, the ship will be mainly used for LNG transportation from the Cove Point LNG project in the United States.
7spinカジノ employ the self-supporting prismatic-shaped IMO type-B (SPB) design developed by the IHI Corporation and JMU. The SPB design features a precise analysis of structural strength and fatigue integrity, together with a quality-control process that ensures complete machining accuracy and welding and thus results in a very safe vessel having an extremely high structural reliability. Moreover, the carrier will have a structural advantage in that most of the tank will be fitted inside the hull, allowing favorable front views from the vessel’s bridge as well as reduced wind resistance.
7spinカジノ, to comply with environmental regulations for vessel operations along the U.S. coast27spinカジノ be equipped with a tri-fuel diesel electric propulsion system3 that can use low-sulfur fuel oil, 7spinカジノ a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system.4Moreover, insulating materials will be installed 7spinカジノ carrier to suppress the boil-off rate5in the cargo tank to 0.08 percent of tank volume per day, the world’s lowest level. 7spinカジノ carrier will have superior fuel-efficiency and mitigate environmental burdens.
NYK will continue to meet 7spinカジノ;s growing demand for LNG by providing stable and efficient LNG transportation.
