NYK Vessel Rescues Family in Distress
On July 21, Forest Venus, an NYK-operated wood-chip carrier, rescued a family of five adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
Forest Venus had departed from the port of Hachinohe in Aomori prefecture on July 7 for San Antonio, Chile. While en route on July 20, the U.S. Coast Guard based in Hawaii, phoned the vessel requesting them to rescue a family stranded after their boat had stalled.
Forest Venus immediately maneuvered toward the boat, arrived on the scene and rescued the whole family including a child and a baby at around 8:10 a.m. the following morning. The rescued family is in good health and they will disembark from Forest Venus in San Antonio at the beginning of August.

Eco-friendly NYK Coal Carrier Honored as 2012 Ship of the Year
Soyo, an NYK-owned coal carrier, has been selected as the 2012 “Ship of the Year” by the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE). An awards ceremony was held on July 25, and Mitsuhiko Sunouchi, the general manager of NYK’s Technical Group was presented with the recognition by JASNAOE.
JASNAOE’s “Ship of the Year” award has been presented every year since 1990 to a Japan-built vessel that the society considers to be the most technically advanced, well-designed, and socially conscious. The NYK Group’s cruise ship Crystal Harmony (current name: Asuka II) received the society’s first “Ship of the Year” award in 1990, and NYK-Hinode Line Ltd.’s two module carriers Yamatai and Yamato were recognized with special awards in 2010.
Soyo was honored for its innovative air-lubrication system and its proven impact on CO2 reduction. This new air-lubrication system reduces CO2 emissions by taking some of the main engine scavenging air (combustion air) from the main engine’s turbocharger and leading it to the vessel’s bottom to reduce the frictional resistance between the vessel’s bottom and the seawater. A system featuring this scavenging air bypass is expected to be effective in reducing CO2 on large vessels having deep drafts.
Yamatai and Yamato have similar air-lubrication systems, and were actually the world’s first vessels involved in overseas transport to have such a system permanently installed. The NYK Group is currently looking to equip car carriers with this eco-friendly system.
The system was jointly developed by NYK, Oshima Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., and the Monohakobi Technology Institute, an NYK Group company, in cooperation with the National Maritime Research Institute. System development was subsidized through Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s “Support for Technology Development from Marine Vessels for Curtailing CO2” project, among others.*
The NYK Group will continue to encourage initiatives that address climate change by striving to install this system on other types of vessels.

Report C.I.A.N.A.M. 2013
The X Annual Meeting of the Cámara Interamericana de Asociaciones Nacionales de Agentes Marítimos (CIANAM) took place in the City of Montevideo, Uruguay, on April 11th and 12th, 2013. Specially invited, the President of the National Ports Administration in Uruguay, Mr Alberto Díaz and the National Coastguard Officer Julio Samandú were present together with the President of the Cámara Interamericana de Asociaciones Nacionales de Agentes Marítimos, Mr Javier Dulce and the President of the Centro de Navegación in Uruguay, Mr Mario Baubeta, who took part in the opening ceremony of the Meeting.
With participation of Patrick Campbell (Centro de Navegación de Argentina Secretary and NYK-Multimar Group President)
During the Meeting, there was a Presentation by Ricardo Sánchez, Senior Economic Affairs Officer from the Economic Commission for Latin America on the “AMERICAN PORTS CHALLENGE FACING THE CHANGE IN VESSELS DIMENSIONS”, in the presence of representatives of the shipping industry in Uruguay.
During the development of the Meeting, issues related to the institutional activity of CIANAM were dealt with. The foreign trade and its impact on port and maritime transport in the region was analysed as well as the institutional activity regarding the relation with governmental authorities, which tend to simplify this activity and all the efforts made in training and quality management in order to reach the best goals of management and efficiency.
In this opportunity, we analysed different mechanisms for trade simplification, capable of coexisting with due control and security measures, which should be kept in international trade, specially in customs administration in relation with control and simplification in order to prevent delays and extracosts. Therefore, it is encouraged the use of proceedings in the analysis and identification of risks, inspection and electronic audits, which shall allow Customs to perform better controls avoiding intrusive inspections and delays that affect operations.
All those delegations that were present accepted and welcomed the offer made by the Cámara Marítima de Ecuador to organize the following Meeting in Guayaquil – Ecuador on April 2014; and the Cámara Marítima de Panamá for 2015.

Ecological balance in view of NYK
WITH OWN DEVELOPMENT
On its maiden voyage, docked at Puerto Nuevo the “NYK Furano,” its technology initiative enables lower fuel consumption.
The ship’s captain Anuj Austin Maliakkal, with NYK Group managers Multimar, Julio Cesar Gonzalez Badié, David Craig and Leonardo Alberich.
On its maiden voyage, the “NYK Furano” passed through Buenos Aires. The interesting thing about this ship is its fuel saving mode with reduced consumption of fuel oil, from research and technological development of the NYK Group.
One of its secrets is in the structure of the hull, built with high strength steel “YP47”. This decreases the weight and reduces fuel consumption.
The ship´s rotation is Singapore, Hong Kong, Pusan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Hong Kong, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Navegantes, Paranagua, Santos, and Rio de Janeiro.
On the occasion, the captain of the ship, Anuj Maliakkal Austin, received a commemorative plaque from the hands of the managers of NYK Group Multimar, Julio Cesar Gonzalez Badié, David Craig, and Leonardo Alberich.
Hibrid energy
The NYK company also began testing to verify the effects of a joint development of hybrid power systems for the propulsion of ships. It is an energy production system that combines solar energy with the energy obtained from a conventional power station.
The power generation of photovoltaic panels on the car carrier Auriga Leader are being tested since its completion on December 19, 2008.
The tests showed that providing a stable source of energy to solar panels is difficult because a small change in climate has a significant influence on the amount of energy generated.
Moreover, the company received the first Bulk Carrier with hybrid turbocharger. It went further to reduce CO2 emissions.
Is a 180,000 DWT vessel, “Shin Koho”. It is the first carrier in the world that has a hybrid turbocharger, which was developed in conjunction NYK, the Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI), Universal Shipbuilding Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
