Ships can transport large volumes of cargo at a time and are an environmentally-friendly
means of transportation compared to others. In recent years, however, the tightening of various
environmental regulations related to ships has been promoted in consideration of the burden on the
environment. The scope of these regulations is wide, ranging from regulations on air pollution and
global warming related to NOx, SOx and CO2, to regulations on the preservation of the ecosystem,
and appropriate measures for each regulation must be taken. Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
(MHI-MSB) provides various environmental solutions to correspond to the need for reducing a
wide range of environmental burdens in the shipbuilding and ocean development field. Among
them, the energy-efficient hull-form, SOx Scrubber System, LNG fueled ship and LNG Facility for
Marine Applications are described in this report.
