NYK Super Eco Ship 2030 – update

As an update to our April 2009 blog post, NYK Line has released a new video outlining more details of their Super Eco Ship concept design.

Highlights of this design include:

• 9MW of solar panels covering the entire topside cargo area
• Retractable sails between each cargo bay
• Self-unloading cargo bays
• Superconducting power link between the forward engine room and the aft thrusters
• Modular design that allows complete separation of the bow and stern from the middle cargo area (somewhat like an ITB, but the cargo ship version)
• Powered by modular LNG fuel cells
• sleek, low wind resistance design
