        日本航运巨头日本邮船（NYK）已同日本Maehata造船厂就建造一艘全新混合电动餐厅船签订协议，标志着该公司对于可持续性海运发展的重视。

 

        据悉，该船舶计划于2027年完成修建。该船舶与日本邮船（NYK）的环境、社会和治理（ESG）倡议相契合，有望超过由Maehata造船厂建造的重达346吨的客船——正在营运中的“Lady Crystal”号船舶。该船舶将由日本邮船（NYK）集团旗下的公司东京邮轮俱乐部（Cruise Club Tokyo）负责运营。

 

        该船全长大约为48米，宽9.5米，吃水深度为2.1米。据报道，该船既适配于电力推进的电池，也适配于大多数船舶所使用的传统柴油发动机。

 

        日本邮船（NYK）强调，为实现混合电力推进船的净零排放，公司会考虑使用氢燃料集成技术。

 

        此外，该公司期待这艘重达480吨的船舶不仅能通过减少排放，还能从船舶振动、噪音污染和燃油气味3个方面入手，最小化地减少船舶给整体环境带来的影响，进而为乘客提供一段“更安静、更环保和更舒适的”巡游体验。

 

        为进一步推动船舶环保意识，日本邮船（NYK）多年来投资并测试了许多节能型海事解决方案。

 

        据悉，该公司于2024年8月针对一项名为“Hz Navi系统”的新技术进行了演示测试。据了解，该系统依赖于日本邮船（NYK）和常石造船厂（Tsuneishi Shipbuilding）共同持有的一项专利技术，能够根据最佳规格降低发电机频率，从而实现节能的效果。

 

        不久后，该公司于今年9月份表示已与日本土木工程公司Oono Development合作，负责买卖和回收日本的环保船舶。据日本邮船（NYK）称，此次合作聚焦于大型船舶和海上结构的拆解工作，并将其作为高质量的废钢及其他材料进行回收利用。

NYK to debut eco-friendly restaurant ship with hybrid propulsion by 2027

 

Japan’s shipping heavyweight Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) has signed a contract with compatriot Maehata Shipbuilding Corporation to construct a new hybrid electric restaurant ship, underscoring the company’s focus on sustainable maritime operations.

 

As disclosed, the ship is scheduled for completion in 2027. Said to align with NYK’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, the vessel is poised to succeed Lady Crystal—a 346-ton passenger ship built by Maehata Shipbuilding Corporation that is currently in operation—and will be operated by Cruise Club Tokyo, an NYK Group company.

 

Boasting an overall length of circa 48 meters, a breadth of 9.5 meters, and a draft of 2.1 meters, the ship will reportedly be fitted with batteries for electric propulsion as well as conventional diesel engines used on most ships.

 

NYK has highlighted that hydrogen fuel integration is being considered, with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions as a hybrid electric propulsion vessel.

 

The company also expects the 480-ton ship to minimize its overall environmental impact by not just cutting down on emissions, but also on vibration, noise pollution and fuel-oil odors, thus providing a ‘quieter, greener, and more comfortable‘ cruising experience.

 

In an effort to drive its environmentally-conscious efforts forward, NYK has invested in and tested a number of energy efficient maritime solutions over the course of the years.

 

To remind, in August 2024, the company conducted a demonstration test of a new technology called the Hz Navi System. The system, reliant on a technology that was jointly patented by NYK and Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, is understood to produce energy-saving effects by lowering the frequency of the generator according to optimal specifications.

 

Soon after that, in September, NYK revealed having joined forces with compatriot civil engineering company Oono Development to commercialize ‘environmentally-friendly’ and responsible ship recycling in Japan. According to NYK, the collaboration would be focused on dismantling large ships and offshore structures and recycling them as high-quality steel scrap and other materials.
