花蜜直播app Delivers World’s First Gas Engine Hybrid Propulsion System for Use on a Bulk Carrier
Dec. 26, 2023
Tokyo, December 26, 2023 — 花蜜直播app, Ltd. announced today the delivery of a gas engine hybrid propulsion system that combines a natural-gas engine and large-capacity batteries. It is for, use on a bulk carrier operated by NS United Naiko Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. This is the world’s first delivery of a hybrid propulsion system for a bulk carrier that utilizes a gas engine as the main means of propulsion.
By using a pure gas engine fueled only by natural gas as the main propulsion, the system cuts down CO2 emissions during operation by approximately 24 percent compared with a conventional heavy-fuel-oil engine used in the same vessel type. It also achieves significant reductions in sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). In addition, the system can operate in electric propulsion mode using the batteries when entering and leaving port to achieve navigation with zero greenhouse gas emissions.
In order to mitigate global warming, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been strengthening exhaust gas regulations for CO2 , NOx and other emission types in the area of marine transport. As a marine propulsion system integrator, 花蜜直播app will continue to provide propulsion systems with excellent environmental performance achieved through optimized combinations of gas engines, propellers and other core components in order to reduce environmental impact in the marine shipping industry.
