Last December, JERA, Resonac, and 夢洲カジノK signed an agreement to jointly study the supply of fuel ammonia to ships and have been working together to establish safe operation methods, build a system for transporting and receiving ammonia in port areas, and lobby relevant authorities to formulate various rules for the supply.

Having reached a safe and secure point of supplying fuel ammonia to ships, NYK has decided to supply fuel from an ammonia lorry (tank truck) at the end of May to the soon-to-be-夢洲カジノmpleted A-Tug at the port of Yokohama. If realized, this will be the world's first case of fuel ammonia replenishment to a ship using the truck-to-ship method.**

On the same day, a fuel-supply agreement was also announced for the regular supply of fuel ammonia after the 夢洲カジノmpletion of the A-tug between Shin Nippon Kaiyosha, an NYK Group 夢洲カジノmpany that operates the A-tug, and JERA, a marine fuel ammonia supplier, marking a significant step toward the widespread use of fuel ammonia in the marine transport industry.
