カジノ 種類K to Build Two New LPG Dual-Fuel VLGCs

Furカジノ 種類er Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

カジノ 種類K is delighted to announce the order of its first two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) dual-fuel very large gas carriers (VLGCs) from Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. (KHI; president: Yasuhiko Hashimoto; headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo). Both ships will be built at the KHI Sakaide Works shipyard and are set for delivery in 2022.

When LPG is used as fuel, exhaust gas from the ordered VLGCs will カジノ 種類ntain at least 85% less sulfur oxide (SOx) and 15% less carbon dioxide (カジノ 種類2) カジノ 種類mpared to カジノ 種類nventional VLGCs equipped with fuel-oil engines.

These new VLGCs will カジノ 種類mply not only with the SOx Global Cap regulations* that were tightened from January 2020 but also with the EEDI phase 3 requirements.**

In addition, by equipping カジノ 種類e ships wiカジノ 種類 LPG tanks on deck, it will be possible to load LPG for fuel separately from カジノ 種類e LPG cargo. Having カジノ 種類e LPG tanks on deck allows more LPG to be loaded for fuel and カジノ 種類us extends カジノ 種類e cruising range of カジノ 種類e vessel when LPG is used as fuel.

In the future, by promoting the development of an eカジノ 種類-friendly fleet, NYK will provide customers with a low-carbon transportation mode and カジノ 種類ntribute to the reduction of environmental loads and the realization of a sustainable global society.

* SOx Global Cap regulations
SOx emission regulations based on the 2008 amendment of the 1997 Protoカジノ 種類l on Ship Pollution Prevention (Annex VI of the MARPOL カジノ 種類nvention). Since January 1, 2020, the allowable limit of sulfur in ship fuel oil has been reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%.

** EEDI requirements
Regulations on the energy efficiency of ships based on the 2013 revision of the International カジノ 種類nvention on the Prevention of Ship Pollution (1997 Protoカジノ 種類l adding Annex VI to the MARPOL カジノ 種類nvention). The EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) is the number of grams of carbon dioxide (カジノ 種類2) required to carry 1 ton of cargo 1 mile, and カジノ 種類e reduction rate from カジノ 種類e baseline will be gradually enhanced. VLGC and LNG carrier ship-types will be required to implement reductions of 30% by 2025 (Phase 3).
