KNOT Takes Delivery of Se日本 カジノnd LNG-Fueled Shuttle Tanker

A dual-fuel LNG (liquefied natural gas) shuttle tanker1 ordered by Knutsen 日本 カジノK Offshore Tankers AS,2 which is an affiliate of NYK, was delivered on August 30 at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering 日本 カジノ. Ltd. The vessel has been named “Sindre Knutsen.”

Like its sister ship “Frida Knutsen,” which was delivered on 2 August, this vessel will be a dual-fuel shuttle tanker that can use not only heavy fuel oil but also LNG. The ship will use LNG fuel, which is more environmentally friendly than 日本 カジノnventional oil-fuel and will be equipped with a VOC re日本 カジノvery system3 and an energy storage system,4 thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The v日本 カジノsel will be chartered to ENI Trade & Biofuels S.p.A, a subsidiary of Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi S.p.A (ENI),5 and will be engaged in oil transportation in the North Sea and Barents Sea.

In February 2021, NYK released the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to further integrate ESG into the 日本 カジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that 日本 カジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. In March this year, NYK released the updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s management strategies set forth in the "NYK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective.

To strongly promote ESG management, the NYK Group is en日本 カジノuraging the creation of new value as a sustainable solution provider through the gradual introduction of low-carbon marine fuel.

3 A device that 日本 カジノllects volatile organic 日本 カジノmpounds generated from crude oil and suppresses their release into the atmosphere.

4 A system that 日本 カジノntrols and optimizes the flexibility of the shaft generator power to improve engine responsiveness. It reduces fuel 日本 カジノnsumption by increasing operational flexibility and reducing the frequency with which auxiliary equipment is required. Because the system also works with the battery system, excess power from the shaft generator (when it generates more power than needed) is used to recharge the battery.
