Responding to the impending expansion of local regulations set to take effect in 2025, NYK (Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha) has entered into a landmark partnership with STAX Engineering Pty Ltd. This collaboration aims to deploy STAX’s state-of-the-art emissions capture and control technology to mitigate exhaust emissions from NYK-operated car carriers at ports across California.
STAX Engineering, headquartered in California, USA, has long been recognized as a leader in maritime emissions capture and control technology. Their groundbreaking solutions offer a bridge between the present and a cleaner future, making critical industry tools eco-friendly. Available now in key port cities such as Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland, STAX’s emissions capture and control technology promises to revolutionize the maritime sector.
The collaboration between NYK and STAX represents a significant step towards environmental sustainability in the maritime industry. STAX’s innovative technology utilizes steel pipes and hoses to capture exhaust emissions from vessels without venting into the air. This approach, which requires no additional equipment installation on the vessels, aligns with NYK’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while ensuring operational efficiency.
NYK plans to leverage STAX’s emissions capture and control technology to provide exhaust-gas capture services for its fleet of car carriers at major ports throughout California, in compliance with the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) expanded exhaust emission regulations.
STAX Engineering‘s comprehensive suite of services extends beyond emissions capture and control technology to include emissions reduction services for terminal operators, container ships, auto carriers, and tankers. By offering cost-effective and versatile systems that support the longevity of existing assets and facilities without modification, STAX empowers stakeholders across the maritime industry to proactively address environmental concerns while optimizing operational performance.
As the industry navigates evolving regulatory frameworks and heightened environmental awareness, the collaboration between NYK and STAX signifies a collective commitment to driving positive change within the maritime sector.
