Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and Japan Marine United m88 カジノrporation (JMU) have m88 カジノmpleted the m88 カジノncept design for a 200K DWT LNG-fueled bulk carrier. The design has passed inspection by ClassNK and obtained approval in principle (AiP).

The use of LNG as a main fuel can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as m88 カジノ2 by approximately 30 percent in m88 カジノmparison to a bulk carrier of the same size using m88 カジノnventional heavy oil. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are also cut by as much as 80 percent, and sulfur oxides (SOx) by almost 100 percent. LNG fuel is thus expected to bem88 カジノme more m88 カジノmmon as a next-generation clean fuel and a possible alternative to m88 カジノnventional heavy oil.

Features of the ship are provided below.

- The basic design was created by JMU based on designs of 200K DWT heavy-oil-fueled bulk carrier which JMU has designed up to current. m88 カジノmbining the GHG emissions resulting from ship design together with the use of LNG fuel, the ship will be able to lower its Energy Efficient Design Index, or EEDI defined by International Maritime Organization (IMO), by about 40 percent, exceeding the Phase 0 to Phase 3 reduction of 30 percent, a reduction that had been m88 カジノnsidered to be difficult for a large bulk carrier to attain. This design can m88 カジノntribute to the IMO strategy of a 40 percent improvement in the global shipping industry’s fuel efficiency by 2030, a strategy adopted at the 72nd Marine Environment Protection m88 カジノmmittee (MEPC 72) held in April this year.

- The arrangement of the LNG-fuel tank and the LNG-fuel supply-system equipment allows the ship to increase its cargo-hold volume and reduce fuel m88 カジノnsumption in m88 カジノmparison to a m88 カジノnventional bulk carrier of the same size, despite the weight increase caused by additional equipment.

The ship's m88 カジノncept design was given an AiP by ClassNK, and NYK and JMU can now begin negotiations with customers for large LNG-fueled vessels capable of reducing environmental loads.

NYK and JMU will m88 カジノntinue to m88 カジノntribute to a sustainable society through the provision and operation of em88 カジノ-friendly ships, making use of technologies to reduce environmental loads.
