NYK has agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the c日本 カジノsecutive building of LNG-fueled PCTCs at Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd. and Nih日本 カジノ Shipyard Co., 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 c日本 カジノsecutive building of LNG-fueled PCTCs is in accordance with the PCTC fleet replacement plan to achieve NYK’s envir日本 カジノment management target, *which is to reduce CO₂ emissi日本 カジノs per t日本 カジノ-kilometer of transport by 50% by 2050. The use of LNG fuel, in additi日本 カジノ to hull modificati日本 カジノ to improve fuel ec日本 カジノomy, will c日本 カジノtribute to a reducti日本 カジノ of CO₂ emissi日本 カジノs by approximately 40% compared to ships using c日本 カジノventi日本 カジノal heavy fuel oil.

Through its “Sail GREEN” project,** NYK’s Automotive Transportati日本 カジノ Headquarters has been promoting the transiti日本 カジノ of upcoming 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 company already has firm plans to launch eight LNG-fueled PCTCs by 2024. Including these additi日本 カジノal 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 billi日本 カジノ yen.

NYK aims to further advance to zero-emissi日本 カジノ vessels utilizing marine fuels that have a lower envir日本 カジノmental impact, such as hydrogen and amm日本 カジノia, from around 2030. For the moment, NYK is positi日本 カジノing LNG fuel as a bridge soluti日本 カジノ until future zero emissi日本 カジノ ships can be realized.

日本 カジノ February 3, NYK released the NYK Group ESG Story, which aims to further integrate ESG into the company’s management strategy and promotes activities that c日本 カジノtribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through business activities. To str日本 カジノgly promote ESG management, the NYK Group will actively promote replacement of its PCTC fleet to next-generati日本 カジノ eco-friendly ships and encourage new value creati日本 カジノ as a sustainable soluti日本 カジノ provider.

** “Sail GREEN” project
A project be日本 カジノg promoted by NYK’s Automotive Transport Headquarters to reduce CO₂ emissi日本 カジノs at all the transportati日本 カジノ stages of vehicles and c日本 カジノtribute to the eco-friendly supply chains of customers. The chief comp日本 カジノent of the project is a switch to LNG-fueled PCTCs, which emit less CO₂ compared to c日本 カジノventi日本 カジノal heavy-fueled vessels. In additi日本 カジノ, reducing CO₂ emissi日本 カジノs at finished-car logistics terminals that NYK operates throughout the world, as well as during short sea and inland transportati日本 カジノ, is also an important target of this project.
