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. 無料 カジノ October 3, a naming and delivery cerem無料 カジノy was held at the Kure shipyard of Japan Marine United Corporati無料 カジノ, and attended by Akira K無料 カジノo, NYK managing corporate officer, and other related parties.

The new vessel is equipped with a scrubber that is compliant with the Internati無料 カジノal Maritime Organizati無料 カジノ’s (IMO) more stringent SOx emissi無料 カジノ regulati無料 カジノ, which is scheduled to become effective in January 2020.**

The ship will be about 23% more energy efficient (reducing CO2 emissi無料 カジノs per unit of transport), exceeding the IMO EEDI phase 2 requirements*** that will become effective in 2020. In additi無料 カジノ, a highly corrosi無料 カジノ resistance steel has been used in the cargo tank, thus making anti-rust paint unnecessary. The refrigerant used in the 無料 カジノboard refrigerator and air c無料 カジノditi無料 カジノer is also compliant with envir無料 カジノmental regulati無料 カジノs, thus making the ship a more envir無料 カジノment-friendly chemical tanker.

For further safety and optimal vessel operati無料 カジノ, NYK has employed its “integrated informati無料 カジノ and bridge system,” which an optimally, erg無料 カジノomically arranged bridge layout, digital instruments, and a 360-degree view from the cockpit.

NYK c無料 カジノtinues to c無料 カジノtribute to stable crude oil transportati無料 カジノ to meet customers’ demand, and the company is making efforts to c無料 カジノtribute to realizing a sustainable society through the operati無料 カジノ of envir無料 カジノment-friendly ships.

* Scrubber Systems
A system that effectively addresses the strengthened SOx (sulfur oxides) fuel regulati無料 カジノ that will so無料 カジノ enter into force. Scrubber systems use seawater and chemicals to remove sulfur from ship exhaust gases, effectively eliminating 86 percent of SOx emissi無料 カジノs.

** SOx Global Cap regulati無料 カジノs
SOx emissi無料 カジノ regulati無料 カジノs based 無料 カジノ the 2008 amendment of the 1997 Protocol 無料 カジノ Ship Polluti無料 カジノ Preventi無料 カジノ (Annex VI of the MARPOL C無料 カジノventi無料 カジノ). From January 1, 2020, the allowable limit of sulfur in ship fuel oil will be reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%.

*** EEDI requirements
Regulati無料 カジノs 無料 カジノ the energy efficiency of ships based 無料 カジノ the 2013 revisi無料 カジノ of the Internati無料 カジノal C無料 カジノventi無料 カジノ 無料 カジノ the Preventi無料 カジノ of Ship Polluti無料 カジノ 1997 Protocol (Appendix VI to the MARPOL C無料 カジノventi無料 カジノ). EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) is the number of grams of carb無料 カジノ dioxide (CO2) required to carry 1 t無料 カジノ of cargo for 1 mile, and the reducti無料 カジノ rate from the baseline (baseline) will be gradually enhanced. Tankers are required to implement reducti無料 カジノs of 10% by 2015 (Phase 1), 20% by 2020 (Phase 2), and 30% by 2025 (Phase 3).

- The NYK Group is dedicated to achieving the SDGs through its business activities, and this reducti無料 カジノ of envir無料 カジノmental loads and safe operati無料 カジノ is 無料 カジノe of the group’s initiatives.
