The company will actively introduce wind-powered propulsion technologies, including the Wind Challenger, and combine them with fuel diversification and operational efficiency to contribute to achieving the shipping industry's common goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Furthermore, it will actively participate in discussions at international organizations such as the IMO to foster momentum throughout the industry.
