Sakigake, the ammonia-powered tug owned by Japanese transport firm Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), has accomplished a three-month demonstration voyage, throughout which the vessel engaged in operations in Tokyo Bay and achieved what NYK mentioned are greenhouse gasoline (GHG) emissions reductions of as much as 95 per cent.
The vessel was accomplished by NYK and IHI Energy Techniques (IPS) on August 23, 2024, in cooperation with ClassNK as a part of a undertaking below Japan’s New Vitality and Industrial Know-how Improvement Organisation.
