Blue Jay is (1) one of the newest biggest container ship of NYK Lines
and the first of 10 container ships to be chartered by NYK Line under
time charter contracts with the owner. The other (9) nine vessels will
be delivered and chartered until June 2018.
MV NYK Blue Jay, having a Length Overall of 364 meter and Gross Tonnage of 144,285 tons
a
uniquely-designed 14,000 TEU has a promising capacity of energy
savings equivalent to that of much larger ships.The 364-meter Blue Jay
was delivered February 22nd at Japan Marine United Corporation’s
shipyard in Kure, Hiroshima in Japan and will enter into service between
Asia and Europe.
NYK Line says the vessel has
features of a hull form that improves cargo-loading efficiency by
minimizing engine room space. The ship’s main engine is also equipped
with the world’s first (and patent pending) system featuring two
completely separate power ranges optimized for higher speeds as well as
slow speed. The new technology of the vessel results in optimized fuel
consumption and energy savings equivalent to larger vessels capable of
carrying 20,000 TEUs
