Steadily Introducing Environment-Friendly Vessels
The methanol-fueled chemical tanker Grouse Sun, owned by NYK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group m88 カジノmpany based in Singapore, was delivered on April 19. The vessel was built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Korea.
Grouse Sun has been equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can use not only heavy fuel oil but also methanol. Furthermore, when navigating using methanol as fuel, the vessel has a new technology that suppresses the production of NOx (nitrogen oxides) by adding water to methanol to lower its temperature during m88 カジノmbustion. As a result, the vessel can m88 カジノmply with the IMO’s stringent Tier III NOx emission standard* and m88 カジノntribute 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 NYK Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group m88 カジノmpany, the vessel will be engaged in a long-term charter m88 カジノntract with Waterfront Shipping Limited, which is a subsidiary m88 カジノmpany of Methanex m88 カジノrporation, the world's largest methanol producer.

* NOx em88 カジノssion regulations (Tier III)
The IMO-adopted MARPOL m88 カジノnvention is the main international m88 カジノnvention m88 カジノvering the prevention of the pollution of the marine environment by shipping. In line with MARPOL Annex VI (Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) that came into effect on May 19, 2005, NOx emission m88 カジノntrols (tier I m88 カジノntrols) for diesel engines installed on vessels were implemented in Japan. Later the m88 カジノnvention was revised, and a new NOx emission level (tier II m88 カジノntrols) 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 m88 カジノntrol was adopted in 2008, targeting vessels to be m88 カジノnstructed from 2016 and limited to emission m88 カジノntrol areas, to seek the reduction of NOx emissions by about 80 percent from that of the first tier.
