NYK LINE Unveiled a Future Concept Eco-Ship

The future concept ship, called “NYK Super Eco-ship 2030”, is a container ship.
“NYK Super Eco-ship 2030” is designed aiming at achieving about 70% CO2 reduction in the marine transportation and commercializing the eco-ship up to around 2030. New technologies, which are theoretically feasible, but not yet commercialized, will be used for the future ship.

The following will be achieved in the future eco-ship:
1) To reduce the propulsion required for driving the ship by reducing the ship weight and friction resistance, and
2) To use LNG-fueled fuel cells, solar power and wind power for propulsion power.
69% reduction of CO2 emission per container unit will be realized by using the combination of those power sources.
