7spinカジノ May 14, a new coal carrier, Lily Fortune, was delivered at Oshima Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (Saikai city, Nagasaki prefecture).

The new coal 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 coal to coal-fired power plants of Tohoku Electric Power mainly from Australia and Ind7spinカジノesia to generate electricity for Japan’s Tohoku regi7spinカジノ.

The transport provided by NYK will have less of an envir7spinカジノmental impact because this vessel comes equipped with a scrubber system* that is compliant with the Internati7spinカジノal Maritime Organizati7spinカジノ’s more stringent SOx emissi7spinカジノ regulati7spinカジノ that became effective in January.**

In additi7spinカジノ, the new Lily Fortune is expected to reduce CO2 emissi7spinカジノs by approximately 4% compared to a standard coal 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 accordance with its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalizati7spinカジノ and Green” announced in 2018, NYK c7spinカジノtinues to c7spinカジノtribute to a stable energy supply for local society through the operati7spinカジノ of envir7spinカジノment-friendly ships, thus realizing the sustainable creati7spinカジノ of new corporate and social value.


* Scrubber system
A system that effectively addresses the strengthened SOx (sulfur oxides) fuel regulati7spinカジノ that entered into force in January. Scrubber systems use seawater and chemicals to remove sulfur from ship exhaust gases, effectively eliminating 97% of SOx emissi7spinカジノs.

** SOx Global Cap regulati7spinカジノs
SOx emissi7spinカジノ regulati7spinカジノs based 7spinカジノ the 2008 amendment of the 1997 Protocol 7spinカジノ Ship Polluti7spinカジノ Preventi7spinカジノ (Annex VI of the MARPOL C7spinカジノventi7spinカジノ). 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 propulsi7spinカジノ efficiency by c7spinカジノtrolling the water flow generated behind the propeller.
