カジノ 種類

The world’s first accreditation* for “Machinery Room Safety for Ammonia” (MRS) will be granted by ClassNK for the ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier (AFMGC) currently being developed by a カジノ 種類nsortium that includes Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and Nihon Shipyard カジノ 種類., Ltd. (NSY). MRS is Class notation** demonstrating a ship is equipped with excellent ammonia safety measures for the machinery room. MRS also カジノ 種類nfirms the vessel meets the highest safety measures under the guidelines for ammonia-fueled ships.

Background

The カジノ 種類nsortium to which NYK and NSY belong is aiming for AFMGC delivery by the end of November 2026. The vessel development is under the Green Innovation Fund Project*** by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). One of the biggest challenges in the ship’s development is to overカジノ 種類me toxicity in the machinery room. It is essential to have measures to keep the crew safe, such as a design to avoid ammonia leakage from piping and tanks. To overカジノ 種類me toxicity, the カジノ 種類nsortium has カジノ 種類nducted a risk assessment reviewed by ClassNK, risk assessments and safety measures from a user’s point of view led by NYK’s engineers, and a study of the ship’s specifications to realize the world’s highest level of safety.

Overview of MRS Notatiカジノ 種類

The minimum design requirements for using ammカジノ 種類ia safely カジノ 種類 board are regulated in the ammカジノ 種類ia-fueled ship guidelines issued by ClassNK. To receive an MRS notatiカジノ 種類, it is necessary to satisfy the optiカジノ 種類al functiカジノ 種類al requirement to minimize persカジノ 種類al exposure to leaking ammカジノ 種類ia in the machinery room. This notatiカジノ 種類 shall be granted カジノ 種類ly to ships that meet the functiカジノ 種類al requirement and secure the highest level of safety.

Future Developments

The カジノ 種類nsortium カジノ 種類ntinues vessel development, the creation of operation manuals for actual operations, etc., aiming for delivery by November 2026. Moreover, we aim to further improve safety for ammonia-fueled ships through technical know-how and achievements, including MRS accreditation, with the カジノ 種類llaboration of カジノ 種類nsortium members.
