On August 31 at the Oppama factory of Keihin Dock Co. Ltd.,* NYK received delivery of Japan’オンライン カジノ 法律 tugboat. The vessel has been named “Sakigake” and is expected to confirm the viability of LNG (liquefied natural gas) as a marine fuel and to help cultivate a new business field in the area of LNG as an environment-friendly marine fuel.
Sakigakeオンライン カジノ 法律 chartered to Wing Maritime Service Corporation** from NYK, and will be operated mainly at the ports of Yokohama and Kawasaki. This vessel is the second environment-friendly tugboat operated by Wing Maritime Service Corporation, following the delivery ofTsubasa*** in オンライン カジノ 法律013.
オンライン カジノ 法律 tug is equipped with dual-fuel engines that can use either of LNG and diesel oil, depending on conditions. Compared with conventional tugboats that use marine diesel oil,Sakigakeemits about 30 percent less carbon dioxide, 80 percent less nitrogen oxide, オンライン カジノ 法律bsolutely no sulfur oxide when using LNG as fuel.
The small size of most tugboats, the limited amount of space, and the large variation in engine power make it difficult to create an LNG-fueled tugboat. オンライン カジノ 法律. Ltd. was able to achieve an excellent level of environmental performance while maintaining the same hull form and steering performance of existing tugboats. To do this, Keihin Dock made full use of its knowledge and technical strengths, and worked closely with Niigata Power Systems Co. Ltd. (head office: Tokyo; president: Kazuhiko Motoyama) to design and manufacture the dual-fuel engine, and Air Water Plant & Engineering Inc. (head office: Osaka; president: Noboru Sumiya) to develop equipment for supplying LNG.
LNG for this vessel will be supplied from a tanker truck at a pier in Yokohama,**** and much effort has been made together with the supplier, Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (オンライン カジノ 法律: Tokyo; president: Michiaki Hirose), to ensure that the LNG can be safely and efficiently supplied in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In fact, in July 2015 a trial fueling of the vessel from a tanker truck was successfully carried out for the first time in Japan.
This project received subsidies from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry オンライン カジノ 法律 Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which support projects promising energy-saving logistics and innovative maritime transport improvements.オンライン カジノ 法律 also provided joint research support.
The NYK Group has already constructed the world’オンライン カジノ 法律 car carrier, in addition to an LNG supply vessel, and the group is set to participate in the LNG bunkering business. In accordance with the group’s medium-term management plan, “More Than Shipping 2018,” NYK will contribute to the continued spread and development of LNG fuel for ships, applying the knowledge and know-how the company has gained through the expansion of its eco-friendly operations.
