NYK’s exhibition will highlight technologies designed to reduce emissions from commercial shipping, including an ammonia-fueled ammonia carrier and systems for remotely monitoring greenhouse gas emissions.
Ammonia is being investigated as an alternative marine fuel because it produces no carbon dioxide during combustion. However, its wider adoption depends on fuel availability, engine technology, safety requirements and the emissions associated with ammonia production.
The company will also present onboard carbon capture and storage (CCS), which captures carbon dioxide from vessel exhaust gases and stores it aboard ships.
The technology could provide another route for reducing shipping emissions, particularly for vessels that continue operating on conventional fuels. Its commercial application depends on storage capacity, energy requirements and facilities capable of receiving captured carbon dioxide.
Offshore Infrastructure Opens New Business Opportunities
Beyond conventional shipping, NYK will showcase concepts for offshore and port-based data centers, reflecting growing interest in using maritime infrastructure for digital services.
The exhibition will also feature offshore recovery operations for reusable rockets, an activity requiring specialized vessels, marine coordination and offshore handling capabilities.
These applications demonstrate how maritime expertise could support industries beyond cargo transportation, potentially creating new opportunities for vessel operators and offshore service providers.
Japan Links Ocean Technology With National Policy
The exhibition is aligned with Japan’s Fourth Basic Plan on Ocean Policy, approved by the Cabinet in April 2023. The framework addresses maritime development, ocean security, environmental protection and the sustainable use of marine resources.
The event is presented as Japan’s first exhibition specifically bringing together industry, government and academia around ocean transformation.
Cruise Operations Also Feature
NYK will also present its passenger shipping activities through the cruise vessels Asuka II and Asuka III, alongside its technology and decarbonization initiatives.
The company’s exhibition theme focuses on creating new business opportunities through ocean technology and digital applications.
The exhibition runs from November 25 to 26 at Pacifico Yokohama’s Exhibition Hall.
