A methanol dual-fuel bulk carrier chartered by NYK Group company NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers from Kambara Kisen has been delivered from Tsuneishi Shipbuilding.
The vessel was named Green Future by Yuko Tsutsui, NYK Managing Executive Officer and Chief Executive of Sustainability and Transformation. This 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 can achieve significant reductions in GHG emissions.
Green Future is 199.99m length overall, and 65,700 dwt, with about 81,500m3 capacity
