NYK Line and Neptune Robotics have announced to sign the memorandum of understanding which expand their partnership to accelerate fuel efficiency and decarbonisation across NYK’s global fleet.
While NYK has experience with STS transfers involving crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), this marks the first operation involving liquefied ammonia.
This vessel will be a Malacca max next-generation environment-friendly VLCC that NYK has been designing with Idemitsu Tanker, IINO Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd., and Nippon Shipyard.
