Japan’s Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) has entered into a capital and business tie-up with compatriot Toyokoh to develop Toyokoh’s CoolLaser technology to fight rust.
In August last year, NYK signed a memorandum of understanding with Toyokoh to jointly examine the development of a corrosion-prevention business, and technical experiments conducted afterward have confirmed the benefits of reducing the on-deck maintenance workload of crew members, extending the lives of ships and equipment thus reducing lifecycle costs, and reducing environmental loads during drydock.
NYK will seek to use its expertise and accumulated data to introduce the CoolLaser technology into the maritime field
