Super Eco Ship 2030
Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha Group (NYK) started a study to develop an environmental friendly ship called “Super Eco Ship 2030”.
This gives an outlook of the future of shipping in 2030. This ship uses technical developments that are ready to use in 2030. The energy used for propulsion is decreased by weight reduction and improved aero dynamics. The energy for propulsion is partly provided by fuel cells, solar cells and the wind. This will lead to a CO2 reduction of 69% for each shipped container.
With this initiative NYK gives meaning to their mission statement. The mission statement is about the customer, share holder and employees and also about society:
"Together with society
As a good corporate citizen, we positively take on the tough issues that challenge our society, such as concerns involving the preservation of our natural environment, as we work for the betterment of the world that we inhabit." Part of mission statement NYK.
