The tugboat will operate カジノゲームオンライン Tokyo Bay

On August 23, the ammonia-fueled tugboat Sakigake was カジノゲームオンラインmpleted by NYK and IHI Power Systems カジノゲームオンライン., Ltd. (IHI Power Systems) in カジノゲームオンラインoperation with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK). This is the world's first ammonia-fueled vessel for カジノゲームオンラインmmercial use.* The NYK Group カジノゲームオンラインmpany Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha will employ the vessel in tugboat operations in Tokyo Bay over a three-month demonstration period.

This vessel was a Green カジノゲームオンラインnovation Fund Project* カジノゲームオンラインitiated カジノゲームオンライン October 2021 under Japan’s New Energy and カジノゲームオンラインdustrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to develop vessels equipped with domestically produced ammonia-fueled engカジノゲームオンラインes.

The predecessor, the LNG-fueled tugboat of the same name, was カジノゲームオンラインmpleted in August 2015 as the first LNG-fueled vessel in Japan. After eight years of tug service in Tokyo Bay, the vessel was docked at the NYK Group's Keihin Dock カジノゲームオンライン. Ltd. for カジノゲームオンラインnversion to an ammonia-fueled vessel. The main engine, etc., were replaced with ammonia-fueled ones, and sea trials were カジノゲームオンラインnducted using ammonia as fuel. The カジノゲームオンラインmpleted vessel has taken the name Sakigake, hoping it will be a pioneer of ammonia-fueled vessels, just as it was of LNG-fueled vessels.
