Through case studies on containerships, tankers, and bulkers, the project will "conduct technical, economical, and environmental assessments" for the decarbonisation of existing cargo ships that use heavy fuel oil as their primary fuel, NYK said.
“This project is one of the initiatives to realise the International Maritime Organisation’s medium- to long-term target for reducing greenhouse gases, and NYK will actively contribute,” it said.
