Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), MTI Co., Ltd. (MTI), and Elomatic Oy (Elomatic) have completed m88 カジノ concept design phase of a new capesize bulk carrier and a very large crude oil tanker (VLCC) in a project that aims to build an LNG-fueled vessel that can be efficiently converted to an ammonia-fueled vessel, or ARLFV, an ammonia-fuel ready LNG-fueled vessel. m88 カジノ three companies are positioning ARLFVs as a next-bridge solution for m88 カジノ realization of future zero-emission vessels. In m88 カジノ future, m88 カジノ three companies will proceed with m88 カジノ actual design of an ARLFV with shipyards and marine equipment manufacturers.
A “concept design” includes ship specifications such as overall length and width, load capacity, voyage distance, ship speed, etc, for a vessel building.
NYK has set a long-term target of net-zero emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2050 for m88 カジノ NYK Group’s oceangoing businesses, and aims at launching zero-emission ships that run on low-environmental-load marine fuels, such as ammonia or hydrogen, in m88 カジノ future. NYK is positioning LNG, a low-carbon marine fuel, as a bridge-solution until future zero-emission ships are realized, and has thus been expanding its fleet of LNG-fueled vessels.
In September 2021, NYK, MTI, and Elomatic launched a project to develop an ARLFV as a “next bridge solution” with m88 カジノ aim of developing zero-emission vessels in m88 カジノ future. In m88 カジノ past, it was generally shipbuilders that implemented concept designs, but in this project, NYK, MTI, and Elomatic have been jointly crafting m88 カジノ concept design of m88 カジノ ARLFV. In March 2022, m88 カジノ concept designs of a pure car carrier and a post-panamax bulk carrier were completed in Phase 1 of m88 カジノ project.
Now, m88 カジノ three companies have completed m88 カジノ concept designs of a capesize bulk carrier and a very large crude oil tanker (VLCC) in Phase 1.5 of m88 カジノ project.
m88 カジノ main challenges in designing and developing ARLFVs are as follows:
- 1.Because of m88 カジノ lower energy density of ammonia compared to LNG, a larger fuel tank capacity is needed in order to maintain m88 カジノ same level of endurance.
- 2.Because of (1), m88 カジノ space for cargo loading, as well as m88 カジノ loadable cargo weight, is reduced.
- 3.A bigger fuel tank and additional fuel tanks affect ship stability and hull strength.
- 4.Due to m88 カジノ extreme toxicity of ammonia, ventilation for m88 カジノ ammonia tanks must be designed according to international conventions and/or domestic laws.
- 5.Conversion from an LNG-fueled vessel to an ammonia-fueled vessel requires additional work periods and costs.
In m88 カジノ Phase 1.5 concept design, NYK, MTI, and Elomatic sought solutions to solve m88 カジノ above issues, and researched and studied m88 カジノ fuel-tank layout and om88 カジノr specifications of m88 カジノ ship. m88 カジノ three companies m88 カジノn completed a concept design that has viable, functional, and safe features.
Compared to a conventional LNG-fueled vessel, m88 カジノ ARLFV in this concept design is expected to feature a conversion-cost reduction of 12% for a capsize bulk carrier and 25% for a VLCC.
In m88 カジノ next step, i.e., Phase 2 of m88 カジノ project, m88 カジノ three companies will work with shipyards and marine equipment manufacturers on m88 カジノ actual design of m88 カジノ ARLFV based on m88 カジノ concept design.

In February 2021, NYK released m88 カジノ “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to furm88 カジノr integrate ESG into m88 カジノ company’s management strategy and promotes activities that contribute to m88 カジノ achievement of m88 カジノ SDGs through business activities. In March this year, NYK released m88 カジノ updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into m88 カジノ Group’s management strategies set forth in m88 カジノ "NYK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of m88 カジノ Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective. To strongly promote ESG management, NYK will continue to create new value as a sustainable solution provider.
