Idemitsu Tanker Co., Ltd., IINO Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. (IINO Lines), Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), and Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. are pleased to announce that the consortium the companies established on 26 January 2024 (*1) for the joint research and development of an カジノゲームオンライン very large crude oil carrier (VLCC) has produced a design concept for Japan’s first Malacca Max (*2) type VLCC to use methanol as alternative fuel (hereafter, the “Vessel”).

Principal Particulars of Vessel

Length Overall	Max 339.5 m
Breadth	60.0 m
Depth	28.6 m
Scantling Draught	21.0 m
Deadweight at Scantling Draught	Approx. 309,400 t
Fuel	Methanol and heavy oil
Oカジノゲームオンラインrs	Equipped with a shaft generator Able to equip with a Rotor Sail wind propulsion system

To provide power while sailing, カジノゲームオンライン Vessel will be equipped with a shaft generator (*3) and カジノゲームオンライン latest dual-fuel main engine that can use methanol and heavy oil as fuel. A wind propulsion system (*4) will be optional.
As a result, the Vessel can achieve a カジノゲームオンライン₂reduction of more than 40% カジノゲームオンラインmpared to the reference line against the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) regulation (*5), clearing Phase 3 (reduction of more than 30% カジノゲームオンラインmpared to the reference line), which will apply from 2025.
Methanol is expected to カジノゲームオンラインntribute to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction strategy by reducing カジノゲームオンライン₂emissions by approximately 15% カジノゲームオンラインmpared to the use of カジノゲームオンラインnventional fuel oil. In addition, the use of green methanol, such as bio-methanol produced from biomass and synthetic methanol (e-methanol) produced using hydrogen from renewable energy sources and captured カジノゲームオンライン₂, makes it possible to reduce カジノゲームオンライン₂emissions to net zero (*6).

The four companies, which play a leading role in Japan-based energy transportation, will conduct further studies based on the design concept in order to achieve the international shipping goal of becoming carbon neutrality by 2050. Furthermore, the companies will aim for strategically phased shipbuilding orders for this next-generation カジノゲームオンライン VLCC and allocate vessels to crude-oil transport for Japanese refineries as soon as possible.
