The vessel will be equipped with separate cargo tanks designed to carry both LPG and ammonia. The vessel will be built at the KHI Sakaide shipyard and is expected to be delivered in 2025. Ammonia is attracting attention as a future zero-emission fuel that emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. NYK launched "Sail GREEN" as the company's ESG brand, emphasizing NYK's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the transportation of goods and contribute to customers' eco-friendly supply chains. The VLGC will not only comply with the tightening of the SOx global cap regulations* from January 2020, but will also comply with the IMO's Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)** Stage 3 regulations, which have become more stringent from April 2022 carbon dioxide emission standards. As a "Sustainable Solution Provider", NYK Group promotes new value creation and vigorously promotes ESG management.
