        日本“有史以来最大的邮轮”——液化天然气动力的“ASUKA III”号已正式交付给日本航运集团NYK旗下的邮轮公司NYK Cruises。

 

        这艘邮轮由德国造船商Meyer Werft于4月10日移交给NYK Cruises，此前该船于3月18日在北海完成了技术和航海试航。

 

        试航是在该船从帕彭堡的Meyer船厂沿埃姆斯河转移约40公里后完成的。

 

        造船商表示，这艘据称是“有史以来建造的能效最高邮轮之一”的船舶，代表了“在减少排放和碳强度道路上的重要里程碑”。

 

        Meyer Werft集团首席执行官Bernd Eikens评论道：“ASUKA III号今天如期交付，这对我们来说是一个重要里程碑。整个Meyer Werft团队与合作伙伴共同努力让这艘船诞生，今天我们完成了又一艘伟大船舶。许多内部元素将仅在横滨（该船的母港）安装上船，但显然它将成为日本公众的完美邮轮。”

 

        由于该邮轮设计使用液化天然气驱动，Meyer Werft和NYK Line预计该船可实现颗粒物（PM）、氮氧化物（NOx）、硫氧化物（SOx）和二氧化碳（CO2）排放量的“巨大”减少。

 

        NYK于2021年3月订购该船时，披露这家德国造船企业将为该船采用一系列定制解决方案，包括根据计划航线优化的流体动力学设计和非接触式控制系统。

 

        建造工作于2023年9月开始，持续至2025年1月邮轮从有顶棚的建造船坞下水。ASUKA III号现在将与其姊妹船——目前船东旗下唯一的241米长船舶ASUKA II号共同服役。

Japan’s “biggest cruise ship ever”, the LNG-powered Asuka III, has been officially delivered to NYK Cruises, a subsidiary of Japanese shipping group NYK.

 

The Asuka III was handed over by German shipbuilder Meyer Werft to NYK Cruises on April 10, following its technical and nautical sea trials conducted in the North Sea on March 18.

 

The trials were completed after the ship was transferred some 40 kilometers down the Ems from the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg.

 

Said to be “one of the most energy-efficient cruise ships ever built”, the cruise ship represents “an important milestone on the way to reducing emissions and carbon intensity”, the shipbuilder stated.

 

“The delivery of the ASUKA III is on schedule today and is an important milestone for us,” Bernd Eikens, CEO of MEYER WERFT Group, commented. “The entire Meyer Werft team, together with our partners, has worked hard to bring this ship to life and today we have completed another great ship. Many of the interior elements will only be brought on board in Yokohama, the ship’s home port, but it is already apparent that it will be a wonderful ship for the Japanese public.”

 

With the cruise ship designed to run on LNG, Meyer Werft and NYK Line project that the unit could accomplish ‘tremendous’ reductions in particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur oxide (SOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

 

NYK booked the ship in March 2021 when it was revealed that the German shipbuilding player would use a range of customized solutions for the unit, including hydrodynamics optimized according to the planned routes and contactless controls.

 

Construction began in September 2023 and lasted until January 2025 when the cruise vessel was floated out of the covered building dock. Asuka III will now join its sister ship, the 241-meter-long Asuka II which was its owner’s only unit so far.
