Kawasaki delivers 84,000m3 LPG carrier, LUPINUS PLANET, to NYK

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
has delivered the 84,000m3 capacity
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier,
LUPINUS PLANET (Hull No. 1753),
to Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha(NYK). This vessel is a dual-fuel LPG
carrier using LPG and low-sulfur fueloil, and their fifth 84,000m3 LPG carrier adopting adual-fuel main engine as well as the68th LPG carrier
built by the company.
In recent years,more vessels havebeen adopting liquefied gases as analternative to heavy
fuel oil on a global
scale to effectively
reduce emissions ofgreenhouse gases(GHG) from international shipping.
This very large LPG
carrier is poweredby LPG, which reduces GHG emissions and is expected to significantly
reduce its environmental impact. The
design is based on the Kawasaki
Group’s accumulated knowledge inbuilding LPG and liquefied naturalgas (LNG) carriers, and LNG-fueledvessels.
Kawasaki plans to develop andbuild more LPG-fueled LPG carriers,LPG/NH3 carriers, and other commercial vessels that meet environmental
standards as well as to develop andoffer other eco-friendly marine technologies to contribute to the establishment of a low-carbon/decarbonizedsociety. These products include vessels for transporting liquefied hydrogen, considered to be the next-generation energy source.

by the IMO, the main engine
and generator are equipped with a
Selective Catalytic Reduction(SCR) System, and an exhaust gas
purification system to reduce NOx,
which allows the ship to navigate inEmission Control Areas (ECAs).
3. Installation of LPG fuel tanks on
the ship’s upper deck allows loading of fuel-use LPG separate fromthe cargo LPG. Moreover, a piping
system connecting the LPG fueltanks and LPG cargo tanks enablestransfer of extra LPG to the LPG
fuel tanks if necessary.
4. This vessel adopts the Kawasaki
rudder bulb system with fins (RBSF)
and the semi-duct system withcontrafins (SDS-F) which contribute to reducing fuel consumption.

Features
1. This LPG carrier operates using
both LPG and low-sulfur fuel oil.
Use of LPG as fuel greatly reduces
the emission volumes of sulfuroxides (SOx), CO2 and other pollutants compared with use ofmarine fuel oil. Consequently, the(Remarks)*1 SO x emission standards: Since
January 2015, SO x emission
restrictions in North American andEuropean emission control areas(ECAs) have limited sulfur content
in fuels to 0.1% or less. Starting inJanuary 2020, regulations havenew vessel will meet SOx emission
standards*1 which were strengthened in January 2020, and EEDI*2
Phase 3 regulations which willfurther strengthen CO2 emission standards.
2. To satisfy restrictions on NOx Tier III
controls*3 emissions as implemented

required ships operating in allother parts of the world to use fuelwith sulfur content levels of 0.5%
or less, or alternatively use equipment to reduce SO x in exhaustgases to an equivalent level.
*2 Energy Efficiency Design Index:
Compulsory international regulations requiring
energy-effiiciency
compliance in
newly built ships
based on EEDI
values, which spe
cify CO2 emissions
in grams for transporting one ton ofcargo for one mile.
EEDI regulation
values apply inincreasingly strict
phases based on
the constructioncontract conclusion
date and finishedship delivery date.
Phase 3 regulations(30% CO2 emissions reduction
compared with baseline levels)
will be introduced for certain shiptypes including large LPG carriersand LNG carriers contracted to bebuilt in 2022 or later.
*3 The Tier III controls apply only tothe specified ships while operatingin Emission Control Areas (ECA),
requiring 80% NO x emissions
reduction compared with Tier I
controls.

MHI-MME completes shop trial of world’s largest turbocharger

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Marine Machinery & Equipment
Co., Ltd. (MHI-MME) confirmed thecompletion of shop trials of a main
engine equipped with its MET90MBTurbocharger (MET90MB), theworld’ s largest turbocharger, which
achieved its planned performance, inJuly this year.
The MET90MB that underwent
the shop trial was the first unit andwas delivered from our plant in January this year. Twenty-two MET90MB
units have been ordered for installation on the main engines of twenty-MET90MB Turbocharger

two 15,000TEU container ships, including 10 container ships of the sameseries. Sequential turbocharging *1,which combines the use of two installed turbochargers (one MET90MB
unit and one MET60MB unit in thiscase), was adopted for the main engine (MAN ES/8G95ME C10.5EGRBP) used in this shop trial. Useof the MET90MB, a large turbocharger, will reduce the number ofturbochargers needed, from threeunits in the past to two units, enabling
both high degree of efficiency andlower maintenance costs.

The turbocharger installed on anmain engine

MET turbochargers have alreadyachieved the global top share in termsof the number of turbochargers installed on the main engines of megacontainerships (11,000TEUs orgreater). To deal with the growth inengine output resulting from the increasing size of container ships, MHIMME made the decision to include theMET90MB in its MET-MB series
lineup.
(Remark)*1 Sequential turbocharging:
Arrangement that enables
efficient turbocharging by installing more than one turbocharger
on an engine and concentrating
the exhaust gas to one of the turbochargers at lower engine speeds
to obtain turbocharging when theamount of exhaust gas is small.
The exhaust gas is directed toeither both turbochargers and/or
to the larger turbocharger for effiicient turbocharging at a broader
range of engine speeds when theamount of exhaust gas is large.

Cover PhotoWorld’s 1st bulk carrier to bepartially powered by wind
Oshima Shipyard delivered theSHOFU MARU, a 100,000DWT bulkcarrier at the Oshima works on October 7, 2022. The vessel is fitted with asail system, the so-called "Wind Challenger," which is being jointly developed with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL).
The hard sail can rotate 180 degrees
and is extended and contracted automatically in response to the wind conditions and ship motion. The hard sailconverts wind energy directly to propulsive force and can significantly reduce fuel consumption, which in turn reduces GHG emissions by about 5-8%.
