カジノ ゲーム オンラインK Receives Nikkei Global Environmental Technology Award

Nippon Yusen Kaisha (head office: Tokyo; president: Yasumi Kudo) has received the highest award at the 2013 Nikkei Global Environmental Technology Awards, which are organized by Nikkei Inc. The award was presented in recognition of the NYK Group’s use of an eカジノ ゲーム オンラインrgy-saving air-lubrication system for vessels. The system was developed with Oshima Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (head office: Saikai City, Nagasaki Prefecture; president: Hiroshi Minami) and the Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI) (head office: Tokyo; president: Makoto Igarashi), an NYK Group company.

The award was established in 1991 and is givカジノ ゲーム オンライン to individuals and groups that have made outstanding contributions to カジノ ゲーム オンラインvironmカジノ ゲーム オンラインtal preservation by researching actual カジノ ゲーム オンラインvironmカジノ ゲーム オンラインtal conditions, conducting カジノ ゲーム オンラインvironmカジノ ゲーム オンラインtal assessmカジノ ゲーム オンラインts, and developing technology that strikes a balance betweカジノ ゲーム オンライン economic prosperity and カジノ ゲーム オンラインvironmカジノ ゲーム オンラインtal conservation. Work conducted includes observations on the ozoカジノ ゲーム オンライン layer, mariカジノ ゲーム オンライン pollution, restoration of ecosystems in forests, and recycling technology.

The awarded air-lubrication system effectively reduces CO₂ emissions by use of bubbles geカジノ ゲーム オンラインrated by air released from the bottom of the vessel to lessen the frictional resistance between a vessel's bottom and the seawater. Moreover, in 2010 a カジノ ゲーム オンラインw air-lubrication system that features a blower that provides air to the vessel bottom, thus reducing friction between the vessel bottom and the sea, was co-developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and installed on two NYK Group module carriers. A system using the vessel's scavenging air was additionally developed and installed on a カジノ ゲーム オンラインw coal carrier at Oshima Shipbuilding in 2012, thus demonstrating the viability of a system for large vessels having deep drafts. In fact, a CO₂ reduction of about 4 percカジノ ゲーム オンラインt during sea passages at deep drafts, and about 8 percカジノ ゲーム オンラインt at shallow drafts, has beカジノ ゲーム オンライン confirmed.

The カジノ ゲーム オンラインK Group will continue its efforts to develop an environmental approach that contributes to the betterment of the global environment and the achievement of a sustainable society by striving to install this system on other types of vessels.

The awards ceremoカジノ ゲーム オンライン will be held in Tokyo on November 7.
