Due to the end of the summer navigation in 2021, the vessels of Oboronlogistics LLC have completed the delivery of goods in the Arctic region and, having received all the necessary permits, are starting to carry out international transportation in the interests of state and commercial customers.

In 2021, Oboronlogistics vessels delivered more than 45 thousand tons of cargo to the Arctic points for the Military Construction Complex of the Russian Defense Ministry, the oil and gas complex and other organizations involved in the development of the Arctic and the construction of industrial and social infrastructure facilities in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. In addition, the company’s vessels were regularly used to export scrap metal and used equipment as part of the Arctic cleanup program.

In the interests of the Military Construction Complex, 3 consecutive flights were carried out on the route Murmansk – Franz Josef Land Archipelago. About 24 thousand tons of construction cargo of various categories were delivered to Alexandra Island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago.

About 8 thousand tons of construction materials in the interests of contractors of the Military Construction Complex of the Ministry of Defense of Russia were delivered along the route Murmansk – Belushya Bay of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.

11 thousand tons of cargo intended for the construction of infrastructure facilities in the oil and gas industry were transported from the port of Arkhangelsk to the port of Sabetta. Unloading of vessels in the port of Sabetta was carried out both at the berth and on the roadstead using ship cranes.

From the port of Arkhangelsk to the port point of Kharasaway on the Yamal Peninsula, the Oboronlogistics vessel delivered 4 thousand tons of construction cargo intended for the Kharasaway gas condensate field.

Universal bulk carriers of Oboronlogistics LLC with an unlimited navigation area can carry any type of cargo, have holds and cargo decks for rolling equipment and container placement. The presence of ship cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 350 tons allows you to carry out operational cargo handling on your own.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. announced the launch of an inter-system linkage between “Lighthouse”, a platform developed for bulkship customers to provide information on ocean transport, and the supply-demand management system of Nippon Steel Corporation.

Lighthouse is a service that allows those involved in the transport process, such as shippers and vessel operators, to safely, unitarily, and in real time, share and monitor various kinds of information related to ocean transport, such as vessel schedules, weather, ocean conditions, as well as data related to cargoes and contracts, on a customized basis for each customer.

Until now, Nippon Steel obtained information on ocean transport in raw material procurement through information sharing from various shipping companies, including MOL with a limited frequency. Linking Nippon Steel’s supply-demand management system with Lighthouse enables the customer to constantly monitor and update a broad range of information on ocean transport, such as schedules and cargo information, not only for MOL-operated vessels, but also those of other shipping lines, allowing the conversion of more information into useful data.

MOL will use data and digital technology to help customers optimize their supply chains, not only in ocean transport, but also throughout the entire supply chain from raw material procurement to production, and to transform their business models for the better. Then, it aims to reduce the environmental impact of ocean transport and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by improving service and quality based on customer needs, by, for example, enhancing operational and transport efficiency.

MOL Group will continue to earn the trust of a wide range of stakeholders while offering high-quality transport services and new added value through the use of digital technology as a group.

Oldendorff Carriers has welcomed the release of a green corridor feasibility report on the West Australia – East Asia iron ore trade route, in partnership with other consortium partners including BHP, Rio Tinto, Starbulk and the Global Maritime Forum. The green corridor project focuses on the feasibility of ammonia as a low emission marine fuel option to reduce seaborne transport emissions on this major iron ore trade route.

The feasibility report can serve as an inspiration for further development of other green corridor initiatives, through public-private partnerships and regulatory follow-up actions. This type of collaboration is very useful in identifying what steps and initiatives are necessary to accelerate the decarbonisation of shipping. Oldendorff Carriers is committed to an ambitious decarbonisation trajectory towards sustainable levels.

The report shows sufficient potential for low emission ammonia availability, and that deploying ammonia powered vessels on this trade route is feasible. However, the safety aspects for the use of ammonia as a marine fuel, still needs to be validated and accepted. The report indicates that the Pilbara region of Australia and Singapore are potentially viable places for bunkering ammonia on this trade route. The shipping industry continues to debate which of the future fuels will be most appropriate for our sector. It is expected that there will be more than one fuel for shipping and there is still a lot of work to be done to develop a comprehensive understanding of how to make and use alternative forms of energy efficiently.

Scott Bergeron, Managing Director Global Engagement & Sustainability at Oldendorff Carriers, says: “Being one of the founding members of the West Australia – East Asia Iron Ore Green Corridor Consortium was an excellent opportunity for Oldendorff Carriers to collaborate and share perspectives with the other consortium members on the feasibility of reducing emissions on this strategic iron ore trade. We are pleased to join in sharing this feasibility assessment to show how a well-considered green corridor can facilitate our collective desire to decarbonize shipping with an alternative fuel. While outside the scope of this report, the safety concerns and environmental risks of ammonia have yet to be adequately addressed. As the safety of our crew is paramount, these challenges must be overcome to enable adoption.”

The coal carrier Kagura for the Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc. was delivered at Oshima Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. A naming and delivery ceremony took place on the same day and was attended by Shigeru Ashitani, representative director, vice president and senior managing executive officer of EnerGia; Hitoshi Nagasawa, president of NYK; and many other persons concerned.

Under a long-term transport contract with EnerGia, the vessel will use carbon offsets to theoretically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to zero for the entire contracted voyage, making the marine transport of coal under the contract carbon neutral. Specifically, CERs as credits for the GHG emissions of the entire contract voyage have been procured to offset the GHG emissions.

The ship’s name, Kagura, is derived from Iwami Kagura, a masked traditional performance art loved by the people of Japan’s Chugoku region. The vessel was named by EnerGia with the hope that the ship will be loved by people for a long time. NYK provides marine transport services that meet the needs of our customers, while at the same time promoting corporate activities that reduce environmental impact. NKY promises will continue to actively engage in activities to decarbonize marine transport and strive to realize our basic philosophy of “Bringing value to life.”
