KNOT Takes Delivery of Second LNG-Fueled 日本 カジノ

A dual-fuel LNG (liquefied natural gas) 日本 カジノ¹ordered by Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers AS,²日本 カジノ an affiliate of NYK, was delivered on August 30 at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. 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 日本 カジノ that can use not only heavy fuel oil but also LNG. The ship will use LNG fuel, which is more environmentally friendly than conventional oil-fuel and will be equipped with a VOC recovery system³and an energy storage system,⁴thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

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

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

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

3 A device that collects volatile organic compounds generated from crude oil and suppresses their release into the atmosphere.

4 A system that controls and optimizes the flexibility of the shaft generator power to improve engine responsiveness. It reduces fuel consumption by increasing operational flexibility and reducing the frequency with which auxiliary equipment is required. Because 日本 カジノ 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.
