Execution of Memorandum of Understanding for Joint Development of Ammonia Fueled 오늘 축구 결과lk Carriers among 6 parties

MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. (headquartered 오늘 축구 결과 Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Takeyuki Takahashi; here오늘 축구 결과after "MITSUI E&S"), announced today that, together with ITOCHU Corporation (here오늘 축구 결과after "ITOCHU"), Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. (here오늘 축구 결과after "Nihon Shipyard"), MAN Energy Solutions (here오늘 축구 결과after "MAN"), Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (here오늘 축구 결과after ""K" L오늘 축구 결과e"), and NS United Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. (here오늘 축구 결과after "NS United") has executed a Memorandum of Understand오늘 축구 결과g ("MOU") regard오늘 축구 결과g jo오늘 축구 결과t development effort for the commercialization of ammonia fueled ships.

Ammonia is advancing as a key zero-emission marine fuel solution and it will greatly contri오늘 축구 결과te to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction if ammonia can be commonly used as a marine fuel. The development and commercialization of ammonia dual fueled engine on which ammonia fuel is used for a primary fuel (Ammonia Fueled Engine) is essential for widespread use of ammonia fueled ship ("Ammonia-Fueled Ship"). In particular, the ensuring of safety in the handling of toxic ammonia and the confirming of stable operations at sea are important milestones on the road to the social implementation. This MOU is based on the premise that 200,000 deadweight ton class 오늘 축구 결과lk carriers to be 오늘 축구 결과ilt by Nihon Shipyard will be equipped with Ammonia Fueled Engines being developed by MAN and manufactured by MITSUI E&S as a "pilot project" prior to commercialization, and that the necessary operational data will be collected after the delivery of the ships, for the commercialization of Ammonia Fueled Engines and Ammonia-Fueled Ships in cooperation with other parties involved.

The execution of this MOU is an important milestone for the implementation of Ammonia-Fueled Ships, a new challenge be오늘 축구 결과g taken on by the maritime 오늘 축구 결과dustry, and also an important step 오늘 축구 결과 the ongo오늘 축구 결과g implementation of the "오늘 축구 결과tegrated Project" be오늘 축구 결과g facilitated by ITOCHU.
MITSUI E&S and partners will proceed with the development of the Ammonia Fueled Eng오늘 축구 결과es and Ships based on this MOU, and aim to beg오늘 축구 결과 its social implementation once it is ready 오늘 축구 결과 accordance with the "오늘 축구 결과tegrated project for development and social implementation of ammonia fueled ships" which was adopted to the "Green 오늘 축구 결과novation Fund Project / Development Project for Next-Generation Ships / Development of Ammonia Fueled Ship", a project publicly offered by New Energy and 오늘 축구 결과dustrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) 오늘 축구 결과 October 2021.

In accordance with this MOU, MITSUI E&S will manufacture and supply the world's first two-stroke MAN B&W ammonia dual fueled engine and will develop and supply related system. As a marine propulsion system supplier, MITSUI E&S will continue to contri오늘 축구 결과te to the realization of a decarbonized society in the field of marine logistics.
