  • ◆ "K" LINE, MOL, NYK Line, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, Imabari Shipbuilding, JMU, and Nihon Shipyard have started a joint study to establish standard specifications and designs for liquefied ビンゴ2(LCO2) ビンゴ.
  • ◆ In the future, they will also consider designing, developing, and building new fuel ships using decarbonization technologies like ammonia fuel.

"K" LINE (President: Yukikazu Myochin, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), MOL (President: Takeshi Hashimoto, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), and NYK Line (President: Takaya Soga, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) have started a joint study with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding (President: Shin Ueda, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), Imabari Shipbuilding (President: Yukito Higaki, Headquarters: Imabari City, Ehime), JMU (President: Nobuyuki Nada, Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa), and Nihon Shipyard (President: Kiyoshi Higaki, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), which is a joint venture between Imabari Shipbuilding and JMU, to establish standard specifications and designs ビンゴ2ビンゴ.

As the demand ビンゴ2 ビンゴ is expected to grow in various CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) projects that transport CO2 collected in Japan to storage sites by sea, it is necessary to build and supply LCO2 ビンゴ stably within Japan to realize the CCS value chain and improve economic efficiency. Therefore, the seven companies have agreed to conduct a joint study to establish standard specifications and designs for LCO2 ビンゴ and to establish a construction supply chain.

This study will focus on LCO2 ビンゴ and aim to enable construction at other shipyards in Japan as well. Additionally, they plan to collaborate widely with industry stakeholders, including other shipyards that share the same awareness of the issues, to contribute to the further progress of a decarbonized society by developing low emission ships using decarbonization technologies (such as ammonia fuel).
