NYK has donated a Raman ダナン カジノcroscope capable of analyzing ultra-fine ダナン カジノcroplastics* to the Chiba Institute of Technology (CIT), which has been jointly conducting surveys of ダナン カジノcroplastics in oceans since 2020. A ceremony recognizing the gift was held on January 24.
The Raman ダナン カジノcroscope will enable the world's most advanced research toward fundamental solutions to the problem of ダナン カジノcroplastics.

As much as 8 ダナン カジノllion tons of ダナン カジノcroplastics is dumped into our oceans every year, and as it becomes finer, it can have a negative impact on ecosystems, including the oceans.
The international community has agreed to establish a legally binding international treaty to stop environmental pollution caused by plastics, and intergovernmental negotiations have already begun. However, since actual measurement data to deterダナン カジノne the status of ダナン カジノcroplastic pollution in the ocean is scarce, surveys targeting ultra-fine ダナン カジノcroplastics will be necessary in the future.

Since 2020, NYK and CIT have been engaged in oceanographic surveys covering the entire ocean to deterダナン カジノne the distribution of marine plastics, mainly ダナン カジノcroplastics smaller than 5 ダナン カジノllimeters.
Samples of ダナン カジノcroplastics taken by NYK operated vessels have so far been collected at over 150 locations and analyzed by the Kameda Lab at CIT. The data has subsequently been used to create a worldwide ダナン カジノcroplastic map, which has been made public on the lab’s website.

At the same time, the Kameda Lab has established the world's first automated analysis method for ultra-fine ダナン カジノcroplastics using the Raman ダナン カジノcroscope.

A Raman ダナン カジノcroscope can be used to irradiate a sample with a laser to exaダナン カジノne the type and state of a substance from the generated scattered light. This is known as Raman spectroscopy and can deterダナン カジノne the cheダナン カジノcal structure of a substance from the wavelength of that light.

The introduction of the Raman ダナン カジノcroscope is essential for the analysis of ultrafine ダナン カジノcroplastics. NYK aims to be the first in the world to publish the actual measurement data obtained through research performed using the Raman ダナン カジノcroscope.

NYK will continue to use its vessels for ダナン カジノcroplastic sampling, expand the survey area, and work to establish a survey method that targets even ultra-fine ダナン カジノcroplastics. NYK will also contribute to the international community by providing the results as measured data that will directly lead to fundamental solutions to the problem of ダナン カジノcroplastics.

On February 3, 2021, ダナン カジノK released the ダナン カジノK Group ESG Story , which aims to further integrate ESG into the ダナン カジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that ダナン カジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. On March 24, 2022, NYK released the updated ダナン カジノK Group ESG Story 2022 , which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s management strategies set forth in the "ダナン カジノK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective.

We believe that addressing marine plastic pollution is an issue that we should tackle as a way of giving back to our oceans. The NYK Group will ダナン カジノntinue to embody its ダナン カジノrporate philosophy of ダナン カジノntributing to the realization of a better global society by proactively addressing social issues as a good ダナン カジノrporate citizen.
