NYK launches continuous use of bio-LNG fuel on its LNG-powered car carriers

In Belgium, NYK has commenced the continuous use of bio-LNG fuel on its LNG-powered car carriers. The bio-LNG is supplied by Titan Supply B.V. (Titan) at the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. The first vessel to receive the fuel was Daisy Leader on June 15, and the second was Sumire Leader on July 18.

Titan Supply B.V. is a Dutch company specializing in the supply of LNG fuel for ships. Operating primarily in Europe, Titan also supplies bio-LNG to promote the adoption of low-environmental-impact fuels.

NYK has long been at the forefront of efforts to decarbonize the shipping industry through the operation of LNG-fueled vessels and usage of biofuel. In November 2023, the NYK Group Decarbonization Story was released, outlining the goal of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. The expanded use of bio-LNG fuel is one of the key initiatives to achieve this goal. NYK remains dedicated to proactively utilizing bio-LNG and other environmentally friendly fuels to pave the way toward a sustainable future for marine transportation.
