The binary cycle power-generation system unit will serve as auxiliary energy for the Pirika Mosiri Maru.
NYK has taken delivery of a coal carrier equipped with a binary cycle power-generation system that utilizes engine exhaust heat.
The generated electric power will serve as auxiliary power and will reduce CO2 emissions by up to about 2 percent by decreasing fuel consumption, according to NYK.
The Pirika Mosiri Maru, named after Japan’s indigenous Ainu language, will transport coal from Australia and Indonesia to the Hokkaido Electric Power Co. thermal power plant via Japan’s port of Tomakomai.
The vessel was built by Oshima Shipbuilding Co.
“In accordance with its new medium-term management plan, ‘Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green,’ the NYK Group aims to create sustainable value for the company and society and continue its efforts to contribute to stable and economical transport of energy resources,” NYK said.
