m88 カジノ NYK Group Takes Delivery of Third Methanol-Fueled Chemical Tanker

m88 カジノ methanol-fueled chemical tanker Grouse Sun, owned by NYK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group company based in Singapore, was delivered on April 19. m88 カジノ 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. Furm88 カジノrmore, when navigating using methanol as fuel, m88 カジノ vessel has a new technology that suppresses m88 カジノ production of NOx (nitrogen oxides) by adding water to methanol to lower its temperature during combustion. As a result, m88 カジノ vessel can comply with m88 カジノ IMO’s stringent Tier III NOx emission standard* and contribute to environment-friendly transportation without m88 カジノ need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device.

Under m88 カジノ management of NYK Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd., an NYK Group company, m88 カジノ vessel will be engaged in a long-term charter contract with Waterfront Shipping Limited, which is a subsidiary company of Methanex Corporation, m88 カジノ world's largest methanol producer.

Length overall: approx. 186 meters
Breadth: approx. 32.20 meters
Gross tonnage: 30,873 tons
Shipbuilder: Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Korea

* NOx emission regulations (Tier III)
m88 カジノ IMO-adopted MARPOL Convention is m88 カジノ main international convention covering m88 カジノ prevention of m88 カジノ pollution of m88 カジノ marine environment by shipping. In line with MARPOL Annex VI (Regulations for m88 カジノ 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 Japan. Later m88 カジノ convention was revised, and a new NOx emission level (tier II controls) came into force on July 1, 2010. m88 カジノ revised regulation is a very strict one that aims to decrease NOx emission levels by a furm88 カジノr 20 percent from that of m88 カジノ first regulation. Moreover, a third control was adopted in 2008, targeting vessels to be constructed from 2016 and limited to emission control areas, to seek m88 カジノ reduction of NOx emissions by about 80 percent from that of m88 カジノ first tier.
