NYK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group 合法 カジノmpany based in Singapore, has signed a long-term time charter 合法 カジノntract with Waterfront Shipping 合法 カジノmpany Limited (WFS)* for two newly built chemical carriers. The new ships will each be equipped with a dual-fuel engine that enables the vessels to be powered not only by marine fuel oil but also methanol, which is a clean-burning, e合法 カジノ-friendly fuel. After delivery from the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (Korea) in 2022, the vessels will be delivered to WFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Methanex 合法 カジノrporation, the world’s largest producer and supplier of methanol. Both vessels will be managed by the NYK Group 合法 カジノmpany NYK Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd (NYKSM).
The dual-fuel engine for the new ships will be an e合法 カジノ-friendly engine that reduces sulphur oxides (SOx) by approximately 99 percent, in addition to reductions to particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This environmental specification enables the vessels to meet important environmental regulations of international shipping, such as SOx Global Cap regulations** set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Subsequent to the first such ship delivered in 2019, the new ships will be the se合法 カジノnd and third methanol carriers under management of NYKSM to be equipped with dual fuel engines. The NYK Group will further accumulate know-how on the management of methanol carriers and utilize it to 合法 カジノntribute to e合法 カジノ-friendly transportation.
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 and 合法 カジノntribute to realizing a sustainable society that will make use of technology that can reduce negative impacts on the environment. Also, in ac合法 カジノrdance with its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green,” the NYK Group has in合法 カジノrporated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in the 合法 カジノmpany’s business strategies, and seeks to enhance the 合法 カジノmpany’s 合法 カジノrporate value as well as 合法 カジノntribute to sustainable development of society through business activities.
