Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc.("ビンゴ 5 結果") has engaged in long term transport agreements by deploying the world's first LNG-fueled large coal carriers with; Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha ("NYK") and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd ("MOL") .
The vessels are expected to become the world's first LNG-fueled large coal carriers, under the operation of NYK and MOL, to import coal to ビンゴ 5 結果's coal-fired power plants.

The use of LNG fuel is expected to virtually eliminate sulfur oxides (SOx) emission and reduce approximately 80% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission, as well as 30% of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission, in comparison with traditional marine fuels.

The LNG procured for ビンゴ 5 結果's thermal power plants will be supplied to the vessels as fuel at the loading facility of Kitakyushu Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Inc., a 75% owned subsidiary of ビンゴ 5 結果.

The three companies contribute to the realization of a low carbon society by implementation of LNG as an environment friendly fuel which effectively reduces carbon emissions from marine transport.

NYK, MOL, and ビンゴ 5 結果 aim to positively collaborate for sustainable marine transportation of coal, with the reduction of its environmental impact.
