据5月31日offshore energy消息：NYK航运公司、NYK邮轮公司、生态燃料船运公司和横滨市签署了一份谅解备忘录，以在日本横滨港开展液化天然气加注业务。
为横滨港口加注液化天然气是日本政府计划的一部分，该计划旨在使横滨成为碳中和港口，以进一步实现其2050年零排放目标。
横滨市已与日本公司达成协议，就游轮安全平稳的液化天然气加注业务进行合作。
去年，日本液化天然气燃料船的所有者和经营者生态燃料船运公司在福冈造船厂推出了它的第一艘船舶。东京湾生态舱是一种多燃料船，能够进行船对船液化天然气和极低硫燃料油的补给。预计将于今年年底交付。
横滨市正在港口为东京湾生态舱建造专用系泊设施。该船将从横滨港基地向东京湾其他港口部署液化天然气燃料补给作业。
日本航运巨头NYK的全资子公司NYK邮轮公司计划在2025年推出一艘新的液化天然气燃料邮轮。

LNG bunkering to commence at Japan’s Yokohama port
NYK Line, NYK Cruises, Ecobunker Shipping, and Yokohama City have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to carry out LNG bunkering operations at Japan’s Port of Yokohama.
LNG bunkering for Yokohama Port is part of the Japanese government’s plans to make Yokohama a carbon-neutral port, in order to get a step closer to achieve its 2050 zero-emission target.
The city of Yokohama has agreed with the Japanese companies to cooperate align="justify"> Japanese owner and operator of LNG bunkering vessels Ecobunker Shipping launched its first ship at the Fukuoka Shipbuilding yard last year. Ecobunker Tokyo Bay is a multi-bunkering vessel capable of both ship-to-ship LNG and VLSFO (very low sulphur fuel oil) bunkering. It is expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
The city of Yokohama is building a dedicated mooring facility for Ecobunker Tokyo Bay at the port. The ship will deploy LNG bunkering operations from its base at Yokohama port to other Tokyo bay ports.
NYK Cruise, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese shipping major NYK, plans to launch a new LNG-fuelled cruise ship in 2025.
