        日本邮船（NYK）下属邮船公司NYK Cruises的新邮轮已在德国船厂Meyer Werft开始建造，并举行了切钢仪式。

        日本邮船早在2021年就订购了这艘邮轮。这艘名为“飞鸟三号”（Asuka III）的邮轮长230米，宽29.8米，其载客量达744客位。

        Meyer Werft公司会采用多种定制方案建造这艘新邮轮。其中包括根据船舶计划航线所优化的流体力学、非接触式控制系统并配备迎合日本乘客需求的船上设施。

        该船将采用液化天然气（LNG）用作动力。据该公司称，除了能减少二氧化碳排放外，此举几乎可以完全消除氮氧化物和颗粒物的排放，也不会产生任何硫氧化物。

        Meyer Werft公司总经理Thomas Weigend表示：“在2021年疫情肆虐之际，我司和日本邮船公司签下这笔订单，这强烈预示着Papenburg地区造船业的发展。因此，我们今天也非常高兴能够赢得日本邮船公司的订单，并开始建造这艘现代化的邮轮。”

        NYK Cruises总裁Hiroyuki Endo称：“在船舶设计方面，我们非常感谢Meyer公司迄今为止所提供的合作。我们愿与其继续保持良好合作关系，直至顺利交付‘飞鸟三号’邮轮。”

        “飞鸟三号”邮轮总吨位为52,200吨，计划于2025年进行交付。

        NYK Cruises公司于1989年成立，为日本市场提供“飞鸟”系列邮轮。该公司目前负责“飞鸟二号”（Asuka II）邮轮的运营。“飞鸟”系列邮轮的第一艘船于1991年下水，是日本第一艘进行世界巡航的邮轮。

        “飞鸟二号”于2006年下水，全年在世界各地港口开展各种巡航活动。

Construction starts on NYK Cruises’LNG-powered Asuka III

Construction of the new cruise ship for NYK Cruises, a division of Japanese shipping company NYK, has begun at German shipyard Meyer Werft with a steel-cutting ceremony.

NYK Cruises placed the order for the ship back in 2021. The ship, which will be named Asuka III, will have a length of 230 metres and a width of 29.8 metres. It will offer space for 744 passengers.

Meyer Werft will use numerous customized solutions for the new cruise ship. These include hydrodynamics optimized according to the planned routes, contactless controls as well and onboard facilities adapted to the needs of Japanese passengers.

The vessel will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). In addition to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the emission of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter can be almost completely eliminated, and sulphur oxides completely avoided, according to the company.

“The order from NYK Cruises in 2021 in the middle of the pandemic was a strong signal for shipbuilding in Papenburg. Therefore, we are also very pleased today to have won NYK Cruises as a customer and to be able start in the construction of this modern cruise ship,” said Managing Director Thomas Weigend.

“In the ship’s designing, we are all grateful to the cooperation rendered by Meyer so far. We wish to continue this excellent relationship with them to the successful delivery of ASUKA III and beyond,” stated Hiroyuki Endo, President NYK Cruises.

Delivery of the 52,200 GT ship Asuka III is scheduled for 2025.

Established in 1989, NYK Cruises provides Asuka Cruise to the Japanese market and now operates the cruise ship Asuka II. The first vessel in the Asuka series was launched in 1991 and was the first Japanese cruise ship to conduct a world cruise.

Asuka II, which was launched in 2006, conducts a variety of cruises throughout the year to ports around the world.
