On July 7, NYK signed a contract to collaborate with Nakashima Propeller Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Nakashima Propeller”) and Fluid Techno Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Fluid Techno”) acting as a contributor to NYK’s Sail Green initiative. The Sail Green initiative acts as part of NYK’s work to decrease GHG emissions via the movement of goods and support clients’ eco-friendly supply chains.
This merger was made with the intention of not only verifying the effects of energy-saving equipment that improve water flow generated at the aft-end of ships but also selecting optimal combinations of those energy-saving devices, to eventually install them on existing ships.
Through this project, the companies are all hopeful that fuel economy will increase between 1–8% and that ship’s GHG emissions will decrease.

After illustrating to readers what the current energy-saving maritime devices look like, NYK addressed the issue of nobody having conducted the proper research on an optimal combination of multiple nautical energy-saving devices and verification of their synergistic effects.
The company conducting the research will be Nakashima Propeller, a marine equipment manufacturer that develops and sells ship propellers and energy-saving devices. Nakashima also has its grip on Fluid Tech, a ship design company with fluid analysis technology.
This corporate partnership may be considered a pioneering effort in the marine sector as three different businesses with different missions unite to find a superior combination of various energy-saving gadgets by drawing on their expertise and advantages.
