石油设备网讯 据世界天然气5月16日消息，日本航运巨头日本邮船(Nippon Yusen Kaisha, NYK)在日本西部进行了第一次液化天然气加注作业。
NYK周三表示，该公司与九州电力(Kyushu Electric Power)、Saibu Gas和Chugoku Electric Power一道，在日本濑户内市(Setouchi)和九州(Kyushu)地区开展了首次液化天然气加注作业。
该公司在北九州港进行了卡车到船的液化天然气加燃料示范。
据该公司称，这一操作推进了四家公司对该地区新业务商业化的讨论。
这些液化天然气燃料被装载在北九州市Hibiki液化天然气接收站的一辆罐车上，用卡车运到浅野区一个码头，然后用卡车对船的方法供应给液化天然气拖船Sakigake。
值得注意的是，2018年8月以来，四家公司一直在就液化天然气加注商业化进行联合讨论，此次论证验证了该地区液化天然气加注的可行性。
NYK表示:“未来，这四家公司将利用从这次运营中获得的经验，加快商业化进程。”

NYK completes first LNG bunkering operation in Western Japan
Japanese shipping giant Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) has conducted the first LNG bunkering operation in Western Japan.
NYK said on Wednesday that the company conducted the first LNG bunkering operation in the Setouchi and Kyushu areas in Japan alongside Kyushu Electric Power, Saibu Gas, and Chugoku Electric Power.
The company conducted a truck-to-ship LNG bunkering demonstration at the port of Kitakyushu.
According to the company, this operation advances the four companies’ discussions on the commercialization of a new business in the area.
The LNG fuel was loaded onto a tank truck at the Hibiki LNG terminal in Kitakyushu city, trucked to a pier in the Asano district, and then supplied to the LNG-fueled tugboat Sakigake using the truck-to-ship method.
It is worth noting that, since August 2018, the four companies have been in joint discussions on the commercialization of LNG bunkering, and this demonstration validates the feasibility of LNG bunkering in the area.
“Going forward, the four companies will utilize the experience gained from this operation to accelerate commercialization,” NYK stated.
