NYK to Develop Japan's First Bunkering Boom for Ammonia
Japan's first development of ammonia fuel supply equipment between ships, contributing to decarbonization through safe fuel supply.
NYK announced that it has partnered with TB Global Technologies Co., Ltd., which has the top market share in the domestic market for cargo handling equipment for liquids such as crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), to establish a business for supplying liquids between ships. We signed a basic agreement to jointly develop the equipment "Bunkering Boom" for ammonia fuel for the first time in Japan. Adopting TBG's technology that reliably prevents liquid leakage, it does not emit carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) even when combusted, and is expected to contribute to the decarbonization of ships. greatly enhances safety when supplying to
In September 2010, MOL acquired the approval in principle (AiP) from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) in September 2010. MOL has provided data and data related to the development (Note) of an ammonia bunkering vessel (ABV). , will provide TBG with the knowledge and other information gained from the KAGUYA, Japan's first LNG bunkering vessel operated by its affiliated company, Central LNG Marine Fuel Co., Ltd.
A bunkering boom consists of steel pipes and hoses, and is a device that supplies fuel from a fuel supply ship to a ship. Because it is a steel pipe, it is highly durable, and it is easy to operate because the direction can be changed freely by a joint called a swivel joint. In this development, we adopted TBG's technology to prevent the liquid inside from leaking out when the bunkering boom is urgently separated from the ship due to natural disasters, etc., and leakage, which is the biggest problem of ammonia fuel supply, was adopted. Take countermeasures.
NYK is developing the ESG brand "NYK GREEN EARTH", which targets new value creation initiatives for low-carbon and decarbonization through green businesses such as next-generation fuel development, and this initiative is one of them. .
