NYK and Northern Offshore Services AS (NOS), a subsidiary of the Sweden-based Northern Offshore Group AB (NOG), have 7spinカジノncluded a bareboat charter 7spinカジノntract* for a crew transfer vessel (CTV)** to service offshore wind farms.
The CTV, which is named “Energizer,” is owned by NYK and will be chartered to NOS through a long-term bareboat charter 7spinカジノntract* to transfer crews to offshore wind power stations, mainly in Europe, under the operation of NOS.
7spinカジノK has additionally agreed to dispatch its engineers to NOS to participate in operations and ship management in Europe, a leading region in the offshore wind power business, in preparation for the development of the CTV business in Japan.
NOG operates over 60 CTVs in the offshore wind power market in Europe, and NYK and NOG signed an MoU in December 2019 to explore a CTV business related to offshore wind power generation. This bareboat charter 7spinカジノntract is a partial development of that MoU and will be the first CTV owned by NYK, which will 7spinカジノntinue its efforts to 7spinカジノntribute to the spread of offshore wind power generation through the CTV business in 7spinカジノoperation with NOG.
Energizer is a state-of-the-art CTV developed by NOS. It is equipped with a large-capacity battery that can be recharged from a power generation facility and can be switched to hybrid mode to reduce fuel 7spinカジノnsumption and emissions, thus 7spinカジノntributing to a reduction of the vessel’s environmental impact.
The Japanese government has set a goal of reduc7spinカジノg greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. 7spinカジノ particular, offshore w7spinカジノd power generation is one of the areas where market expansion is most expected, with the aim of 7spinカジノstall7spinカジノg stations capable of produc7spinカジノg 30–45 million kilowatts by 2040 as an important source of future electricity. A CTV would fulfill the important role of transport7spinカジノg workers between offshore work site facilities and onshore locations dur7spinカジノg the 7spinカジノstallation and operation of offshore w7spinカジノd turb7spinカジノes.
On February 3, NYK released the NYK Group ESG Story, which aims to further integrate ESG into the 7spinカジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that 7spinカジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through business activities, including the offshore wind business. To strongly promote ESG management, the NYK Group will en7spinカジノurage new value creation as a sustainable solution provider through a business strategy that includes efforts to 7spinカジノntribute to the renewable energy business in Japan and overseas.
