We expect that LNG fuel have potential used widely fu- ture and now considering the use for various types of ships.

Also, we think that development of LNG bunkering infra- structure will redound to miniaturizing fuel tank, and LNG fuel will be fascinating for not only environmental aspect but also economical aspect.

Looking beyond fuel, can you describe the technology(s) onboard your vessels that you have found to provide good results.

We understand the goal of cutting GHG total volume by 50% is an ambitious target that needs 90 to 100% of improvement effectively. To have the results, we think it is necessary to utilize reproducible energy such as wind, wave, solar light on top of Zero Emission technology like fuel conversion. We also believe it is necessary to have changes in logis- tics in the long term. Maritime transport is already an envi- ronmentally friendly option and we can have a bigger GHG reduction impact if we combine ship size enlargement and slower navigation. However, we need to make sure to obtain
