NYK pledges to fuel all PCTC newbuilds with LNG in future
Japanese shipping major views LNG as an important bridging marine fuel to decarbonise its fleet by the mid-2030s. Promoting the switch to next-generation eco-friendly ships in its pure car truck carrier fleet is part of the group’s environmental, social and governance considerations
Announcement came as NYK took delivery of its LNG-fueled car carrier Sakura Leader, which is said to be able to trim CO2 emissions per unit of transport by up to 40% compared to similar types of vessels using conventional heavy fuel oil bunkers
