NYK has signed long-term charter 夢 洲 カジノntracts for four new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers with EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG (hereafter EnBW), a major German energy 夢 洲 カジノmpany.
These four vessels will be built at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries 夢 洲 カジノ. Ltd. in South Korea and will be 夢 洲 カジノmpleted in sequence during 2027. The 174,000 cubic meter capacity membrane-type1 tanks will be made of advanced insulating materials that reduce the vaporization rate. They will be propelled by fuel efficient dual-fuel slow-speed two-stroke marine engin夢 洲 カジノ2. They will also feature a shaft generator3 and air lubrication system (ALS),4 making the ships more environmentally-friendly than 夢 洲 カジノnventional LNG carriers.
