NYK orders 12 LNG-fuelled car carriers
The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co and Nihon Shipyard Co. The Japanese yards will deliver six ships each by 2028
The use of LNG fuel, in addition to hull modification to improve fuel economy will contribute to an approximate 40% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared with ships using conventional heavy fuel oil, NYK says
