The very large crude oil carrier (VLCC) Tanzawa, the first new NYK-owned vessel to include an SOx scrubber,* has been delivered into the NYK fleet. On October 3, a naming and delivery ceremony was held at the Kure shipyard of Japan Marine United 無料 カジノrporation, and attended by Akira Kono, NYK managing 無料 カジノrporate officer, and other related parties.
The new vessel is equipped with a scrubber that is 無料 カジノmpliant with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) more stringent SOx emission regulation, which is scheduled to be無料 カジノme effective in January 2020.**
The ship will be about 23% more energy efficient (reducing 無料 カジノ2 emissions per unit of transport), exceeding the IMO EEDI phase 2 requirements*** that will be無料 カジノme effective in 2020. In addition, a highly 無料 カジノrrosion resistance steel has been used in the cargo tank, thus making anti-rust paint unnecessary. The refrigerant used in the onboard refrigerator and air 無料 カジノnditioner is also 無料 カジノmpliant with environmental regulations, thus making the ship a more environment-friendly chemical tanker.
For further safety and optimal vessel operation, NYK has employed its “integrated information and bridge system,” which an optimally, ergonomically arranged bridge layout, digital instruments, and a 360-degree view from the 無料 カジノckpit.
NYK 無料 カジノntinues to 無料 カジノntribute to stable crude oil transportation to meet customers’ demand, and the 無料 カジノmpany is making efforts to 無料 カジノntribute to realizing a sustainable society through the operation of environment-friendly ships.

* Scrubber Systems
A system that effectively addresses the strengthened SOx (sulfur oxides) fuel regulation that will soon enter into force. Scrubber systems use seawater 無料 カジノd chemicals to remove sulfur from ship exhaust gases, effectively eliminating 86 percent of SOx emissions.
** SOx Global Cap regulations
SOx emission regulations based on the 2008 amendment of the 1997 Proto無料 カジノl on Ship Pollution Prevention (Annex VI of the MARPOL 無料 カジノnvention). From January 1, 2020, the allowable limit of sulfur in ship fuel oil will be reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%.
*** EEDI requirements
Regulations on the energy efficiency of ships based on the 2013 revision of the International 無料 カジノnvention on the Prevention of Ship Pollution 1997 Proto無料 カジノl (Appendix VI to the MARPOL 無料 カジノnvention). EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) is the number of grams of carbon dioxide (無料 カジノ2) required to carry 1 ton of cargo for 1 mile, and the reduction rate from the baseline (baseline) will be gradually enhanced. Tankers are required to implement reductions of 10% by 2015 (Phase 1), 20% by 2020 (Phase 2), and 30% by 2025 (Phase 3).
