Earlier this week, a methanol dual-fuel bulk carrier chartered by NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd., a NYK Group company, from KAMBARA KISEN Co., Ltd. was delivered at the TSUNEISHI Factory of TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING Co., Ltd., and a naming and delivery ceremony was held. At the ceremony, Yuko Tsutsui, Managing Executive Officer and Chief Executive of Sustainability & Transformation Headquarters of NYK, named the vessel “Green Future.”
This vessel is the first bulk carrier in the NYK Group to be equipped with a dual-fuel engine that uses methanol and fuel oil. Methanol has a lower environmental impact than fuel oil, and by using bio-methanol and e-methanol produced using hydrogen derived from renewable energy sources and recovered carbon dioxide, the vessel achieves significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Vessel Particulars LOA: 199.99 m Breadth: 32.25 m Depth: 19.15 m Deadweight: approx. 65,700 metric tons Capacity: approx. 81,500 m3 Draft: 13.8 m
