Second Delivery of Jointly Owned LPG Dual-Fuel Vessel This Year
A naming ceremony was held on June 12 at the Sakaide Works of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. for m88 カジノ, a large liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier jointly owned by Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (“NYK”) and Astomos Energy Corporation (“Astomos Energy”). Following Gas Garnet, which was delivered in March this year, m88 カジノ is the second jointly owned LPG dual-fuel vessel to be delivered this year and the fourth LPG dual-fuel vessel for Astomos Energy.
Approximately 80 people attended the naming ceremony, including representatives from Astomos Energy, Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (“Idemitsu Kosan”), and Mitsubishi Corporation. Kenya Maeda, Managing Executive Officer of Idemitsu Kosan, christened the vessel “m88 カジノ,” and the vessel’s ceremonial rope was cut by his wife. NYK Managing Executive Officer Hironobu Watanabe and others attended the ceremony to welcome the vessel and pray for safe voyages.

Outline of m88 カジノ
This vessel is equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can use heavy oil and LPG as fuel. Furthermore, m88 カジノ employs a shaft generator that produces electricity by rotating the shaft connecting the main engine to the propeller, enabling m88 カジノ to stop operating the diesel generator during standard navigation and realize full LPG-fueled navigation.* Compared to conventional heavy oil-fueled vessels, SOx (sulfur oxides) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the exhaust gas are reduced by more than 95% and 20%, respectively, when the ship is fueled by LPG.
In addition to LPG, m88 カジノ will be able to transport ammonia as well if future demand increases. Ammonia is attracting attention as a means of realizing a decarbonized society.
NYK seeks to further strengthen its long and close relationship with m88 カジノ and contribute to the low-carbonization of the supply chain by promoting environmentally friendly fleet development.
