ベラ ジョン カジノ Delivers Methanol-Fueled Chemical Tanker

The methanol-fueled chemical tanker Seymour Sun, owned by ベラ ジョン カジノ Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd., an ベラ ジョン カジノ Group company based in Singapore, was delivered on January 27. The vessel was built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Korea.

Seymour Sun has been equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can use not only heavy fuel oil but also ベラ ジョン カジノ. Furthermore, when navigating using ベラ ジョン カジノ as fuel, the vessel has a new technology that suppresses the production of NOx (nitrogen oxides) by adding water to ベラ ジョン カジノ to lower its temperature during combustion. As a result, the vessel can comply with the IMO’s stringent Tier III NOx emission standard and contribute to environment-friendly transportation without the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device.

Under the management of ベラ ジョン カジノ Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd., an ベラ ジョン カジノ Group company, the vessel will be engaged in a long-term charter contract with Waterfront Shipping Limited, which is a subsidiary company of Methanex Corporation, the world's largest methanol producer.

More information regarding ベラ ジョン カジノ long-term charter contract with WFS is provided in ベラ ジョン カジノ below press release.

* NOx emission regulations (Tier III)
The IMO-adopted MARPOL Convention is the main international convention covering the prevention of the pollution of the marine environment by shipping. In line with MARPOL ベラ ジョン カジノnex VI (Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) that came into effect on May 19, 2005, NOx emission controls (tier I controls) for diesel engines installed on vessels were implemented in Japベラ ジョン カジノ. Later the convention was revised, ベラ ジョン カジノd a new NOx emission level (tier II controls) came into force on July 1, 2010. The revised regulation is a very strict one that aims to decrease NOx emission levels by a further 20 percent from that of the first regulation. Moreover, a third control was adopted in 2008, targeting vessels to be constructed from 2016 ベラ ジョン カジノd limited to emission control areas, to seek the reduction of NOx emissions by about 80 percent from that of the first tier.
