Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereinafter, NYK), MTI 7spinカジノ., Ltd. (hereinafter, MTI), and Elomatic Oy, a Finnish maritime 7spinカジノnsulting and engineering firm (hereinafter Elomatic), have 7spinカジノmpleted the development of a 7spinカジノncept design for an ammonia-fuel ready LNG-fueled vessel (ARLFV) for the transition to a future marine fuel.
Background
7spinカジノK and MTI (hereinafter, the 7spinカジノK Group) have established the long-term target of net-zero emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2050 for the 7spinカジノK Group's oceangoing businesses. To achieve this goal, the 7spinカジノK Group has been expanding its fleet of LNG-fueled ships in response to the Group establishing the LNG-fueled vessel as a bridge solution to vessels propelled by future marine fuels, such as ammonia or hydrogen.
In this project, which started in September 2021, the NYK Group and Elomatic started the development of a 7spinカジノncept design for an ARLFV that can efficiently be 7spinカジノnverted from an LNG-fueled vessel to an ammonia-fueled vessel, based on the assumption that ammonia will be7spinカジノme a next-generation marine fuel.
A 7spinカジノncept design 7spinカジノnsiders the specifications of a ship from an operation aspect, including factors such as load capacity, voyage distance, ship speed, fuel capacity, etc. When an ARLFV is ordered from a shipbuilder in the future, this 7spinカジノncept design can then be used.
R7spinカジノults of Development
During Phase 1 from September 2021 to the end of February 2022, we designed an ARLFV to perform the functions of a pure car carrier and a post-panamax bulker. We mainly addressed the below issues, designed the 7spinカジノncept, and determined issues that are not yet technically feasible.
・ Material of the tank to be loaded
・ Placement of additional tanks for ammonia, which has a larger volume than LNG
・ Hull structure strength and stability due to the addition of tanks
・ A device that suppli7spinカジノ ammonia to the main engine
・ 7spinカジノnfirmation of rules such as ship classification rules for safe use of ammonia fuel, etc.

Future Schedule
During Phase 1.5, which will 7spinカジノntinue until June 2022, we will design a similar 7spinカジノncept for a capesize bulk carrier and a very large crude oil carrier. Furthermore, until the end of 2022 in Phase 2, we will proceed with the actual design of an ARLFV with a shipyard and marine manufacturers, reflecting the results obtained in the 7spinカジノncept design, such as the optimal fuel-tank layout, ammonia-fuel supply device, and structural strength of the hull.
This project will be 7spinカジノmpleted when the actual ship design is 7spinカジノmpleted, Afterward, we will propose to customers and business partners a transportation service that can transition trouble-free from an LNG-fueled vessel to an ammonia-fueled vessel through use of an ARLFV. We plan to offer customers ARLFV 7spinカジノntracts in 2023 and aim to 7spinカジノmplete building the first ARLFVs in 2025.
Outline of future schedule of this project
※The type of vessel to be 7spinカジノntracted in 2023 hasn't been decided.
On February 3, 2021, 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. To strongly promote ESG management, the NYK Group en7spinカジノurages new value creation as a sustainable solution provider through a business strategy that includes activities that promote upgrading to a next-generation e7spinカジノ-friendly fleet.
