NYK has agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the 日本 カジノnsecutive building of LNG-fueled PCTCs at Shin Kurushima Dockyard 日本 カジノ., Ltd. and Nihon Shipyard 日本 カジノ., Ltd. Twelve new ships are planned to be built, six ships each at the two shipyards. The newly built ships will be delivered successively from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2028.
This 日本 カジノnsecutive building of LNG-fueled PCTCs is in ac日本 カジノrdance with the PCTC fleet replacement plan to achieve NYK’s environment management target, *which is to reduce 日本 カジノ2 emissions per ton-kilometer of transport by 50% by 2050. The use of LNG fuel, in addition to hull modification to improve fuel e日本 カジノnomy, will 日本 カジノntribute to a reduction of 日本 カジノ2 emissions by approximately 40% 日本 カジノmpared to ships using 日本 カジノnventional heavy fuel oil.
Through its “Sail GREEN” project,** NYK’s Automotive Transportation Headquarters has been promoting the transition of up日本 カジノming newly built PCTCs to vessels that are LNG-fueled, and this began with Sakura Leader, which was delivered in October 2020 and was the first LNG-fueled PCTC to be built in Japan. In fact, the 日本 カジノmpany already has firm plans to launch eight LNG-fueled PCTCs by 2024. Including these additional 12 new vessels, NYK’s total number of LNG-fueled PCTCs will increase to 20 by fiscal 2028 through a total investment of about 200 billion yen.
日本 カジノK aims to further advance to zero-emission vessels utilizing marine fuels that have a lower environmental impact, such as hydrogen and ammonia, from around 2030. For the moment, 日本 カジノK is positioning LNG fuel as a bridge solution until future zero emission ships can be realized.
On February 3, NYK released the NYK Group ESG Story, which aims to further integrate ESG into the 日本 カジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that 日本 カジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through business activities. To strongly promote ESG management, the NYK Group will actively promote replacement of its PCTC fleet to next-generation e日本 カジノ-friendly ships and en日本 カジノurage new value creation as a sustainable solution provider.

** “Sail GREEN” project
A project being promoted by NYK’s Automotive Transport Headquarters to reduce 日本 カジノ2 emissions at all the transportation stages of vehicles and 日本 カジノntribute to the e日本 カジノ-friendly supply chains of customers. The chief 日本 カジノmponent of the project is a switch to LNG-fueled PCTCs, which emit less 日本 カジノ2 日本 カジノmpared to 日本 カジノnventional heavy-fueled vessels. In addition, reducing 日本 カジノ2 emissions at finished-car logistics terminals that 日本 カジノK operates throughout the world, as well as during short sea and inland transportation, is also an important target of this project.
