NYK introduces latest green boxship
The latest newbuilding from NYK Line, ‘NYK Altair’ highlights the Japanese shipping company’s ongoing commitment to creating an environmentally friendly global transportation.
Despite recent adverse trading conditions, NYK continues its investment of 70 billion yen ($866 million) over six years in the development of innovative environmental technology.
The NYK Altair incorporates innovative developments in engine design and is fitted with a DU-Wartsila 12RT FLEX 96C propulsion engine. The environmental advantages of this engine are smokeless operation at all running speeds, lower fuel consumption, reduced NOx emissions and high-efficiency waste heat recovery.
Built by IHI Shipyard in Japan, the 332.20m long, 45.20m wide vessel has a deadweight of 106,000 tonnes and a 10,000 TEU capacity. The 68,644kW propulsion plant delivers a maximum speed of 24.5 knots.
The newbuilding follows NYK’s introduction of the award-winning
