Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc.

ビンゴ ルーレットS.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Kyuden) today announced a Panamax coal carrier that uses low environmental impact LNG as its main fuel was delivered and started operation on November 14.
In a naming and delivery ceremony held at the Imari Shipyard and Works of Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (President: Kensuke Namura; Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture), the new vessel was named Reimei(Note 1).

TheReimei, a large ビンゴ ルーレット coal carrier, is operated by MOL to transport coal from overseas to Kyuden's coal-fired thermal power plants.
Compared to conventional marine fuel, LNG can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) by about 30%, sulfur oxides (SOx) by about 100%, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by about 80%.

TheReimei departed from Imari Port on November 14 for shore-to-ship bunkering at Tobata Port in Fukuoka Prefecture on November 15, where it will receive fuel directly from the onshore LNG shipping terminal.
In the future, ship-to-ship bunkering from an LNG bunkering vessel can also be adopted as a way for the vessel to receive fuel.

ビンゴ ルーレット and Kyuden proactively work to ensure both continued, reliable transport of energy resources and reduction of environmental impact.

(Note 1) Origin of Reimei
It is derived from 'Reihoku' of Kyuden's Reihoku power plant (coal-fired power plant) and 'Dawn'. It hopes to start safe ビンゴ ルーレット and illuminate the future of the shipping.

(Note 2) A long-term transport agreement between ビンゴ ルーレット and Kyuden was concluded on December 25, 2019.
