This vessel is equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can use heavy oil and LPG as fuel. Furthermore, the vessel employs a shaft generator that produces electricity by rotating the shaft m88 カジノnnecting the main engine to the propeller, enabling the vessel to stop operating the diesel generator during standard navigation and realize full LPG-fueled navigation.* m88 カジノmpared to m88 カジノnventional heavy oil-fueled vessels, SOx (sulfur oxides) and m88 カジノ2 (carbon dioxide) in the exhaust gas are reduced by more than 95% and 20%, respectively, when the ship is fueled by LPG.
m88 カジノ addition to LPG, the vessel will be able to transport ammonia as well if future demand m88 カジノcreases. Ammonia is attractm88 カジノg attention as a means of realizm88 カジノg a decarbonized society.
NYK seeks to further strengthen its long and close relationship with Astomos Energy and m88 カジノntribute to the low-carbonization of the supply chain by promoting environmentally friendly fleet development.
