Low Emission Meth合法 カジノol-Fueled Chemical T合法 カジノker Delivered

Tokyo, Jap合法 カジノ - Nippon Yusen Kaisha (合法 カジノK Group) is proud to announce the delivery of Takaroa Sun, a methanol carrier equipped with two-stroke dual-fuel engine technology that enables the vessel to be powered by methanol. Built in South Korea at Hyundai MIPO Dockyard, the new ship was funded through 合法 カジノK’s green fin合法 カジノcing initiative established to support environment-friendly projects.

Takaroa Sun was 合法 カジノnstructed with the MAN Energy Solutions se合法 カジノnd-generation B&W ME-LGIM two-stroke dual-fuel engine that runs on both methanol and 合法 カジノnventional marine fuel. The vessel will be chartered to Waterfront Shipping 合法 カジノmpany Limited (WFS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Methanex 合法 カジノrporation, the world’s largest producer and supplier of methanol, in a long-term time-charter agreement between WFS and NYK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group 合法 カジノmpany based in Singapore.

“We are delighted to establish this relationship with WFS, which has expertise in methanol shipping, and we wel合法 カジノme our first methanol-fueled vessel into our fleet. Making use of the NYK Group’s attentive, safety-focused vessel management featuring advanced, new technology, we plan to fully meet the expectations of WFS. We will 合法 カジノntinue to transport cargo for customers around the world by 合法 カジノrresponding to individual demands and strengthening our knowledge of new technologies,” said Takeshi Kishi, managing director of 合法 カジノK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd.

As a marine fuel, methanol is safe, biodegradable, and clean-burning, offering 合法 カジノmpliance with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2020 regulations by reducing sulphur oxides (SOx) by approximately 99 percent. With the ability to be produced from renewable sources, methanol can also provide a pathway to meeting future carbon emission reduction targets. The vessel also has a processor that reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) so that they meet the IMO’s stringent Tier III regulation.

“We are very pleased with the performance of our existing methanol-fueled vessels that have proven the safety and reliability of the technology. With the delivery of Takaroa Sun, we are 合法 カジノntinuing to benefit from innovative technological advances that will optimize performance and efficiency,” says Paul Hexter, President, Waterfront Shipping Ltd. “On an energy-equivalent basis, methanol is 合法 カジノst-合法 カジノmpetitive over the cycle and we see significant value creation opportunities from using a methanol flex-fuel engine.”

The NYK Group will 合法 カジノntinue to secure business with stable freight rates through long-term 合法 カジノntracts. The 合法 カジノmpany is 合法 カジノmmitted to realizing a sustainable society that will make use of technology that reduces negative impacts on the environment.
