LNG

Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, the Japanese shipping company known has NYK Line, is continuing to expand its liquefied natural gas-powered fleet of vessels now numbering over 800 owned and operated ships, including 86 LNG carriers.

JERA Co. Inc., the largest Japanese LNG buyer, said it formally started its LNG bunkering business in the Chubu region of Japan through the nation’s first ship-to-ship fuel operation by the Central LNG joint venture.
