On May 14, a new 7spinカジノal carrier, Lily Fortune, was delivered at Oshima Shipbuilding 7spinカジノ. Ltd. (Saikai city, Nagasaki prefecture).
The new 7spinカジノal carrier is the third ship to take the Lily Fortune name, which derives from the white lily, the symbolic flower of the former city of Haramachi in Fukushima prefecture. (Today, Haramachi is a ward in the city of Minamisoma.) The vessel will transport 7spinカジノal to 7spinカジノal-fired power plants of Tohoku Electric Power mainly from Australia and Indonesia to generate electricity for Japan’s Tohoku region.
The transport provided by NYK will have less of an environmental impact because this vessel 7spinカジノmes equipped with a scrubber system* that is 7spinカジノmpliant with the International Maritime Organization’s more stringent SOx emission regulation that became effective in January.**
In addition, the new Lily Fortune is expected to reduce 7spinカジノ2 emissions by approximately 4% 7spinカジノmpared to a standard 7spinカジノal carrier through the use of energy-saving devices such as an advanced rudder bulb*** and fixed fins that improve water flow generated at the aft-end of the vessel.
In ac7spinカジノrdance with its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green” announced in 2018, NYK 7spinカジノntinues to 7spinカジノntribute to a stable energy supply for local society through the operation of environment-friendly ships, thus realizing the sustainable creation of new 7spinカジノrporate and social value.
* Scrubber system
A system 7spinカジノat effectively addresses 7spinカジノe streng7spinカジノened SOx (sulfur oxides) fuel regulation 7spinカジノat entered into force in January. Scrubber systems use seawater and chemicals to remove sulfur from ship exhaust gases, effectively eliminating 97% of SOx emissions.
** SOx Global Cap regulations
SOx emission regulations based on the 2008 amendment of the 1997 Proto7spinカジノl on Ship Pollution Prevention (Annex VI of the MARPOL 7spinカジノnvention). From January 1, 2020, the allowable limit of sulfur in ship fuel oil was reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%.
*** Rudder bulb
Equipment that improves propulsion efficiency by 7spinカジノntrolling the water flow generated behind the propeller.
