  "summary": "Japan Engine, in collaboration with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Yanmar Power Solutions, has successfully completed the development of the world’s first hydrogen-fueled engine for large commercial vessels. The 6UEC35LSGH engine achieved a hydrogen co-firing rate of at least 95% during factory testing, leading to a reduction in GHG emissions by more than 95% compared to conventional heavy-fuel-oil engines. The engine will be installed on a 17,500 DWT multipurpose vessel for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and MOL Drybulk, with onboard demonstration testing set to begin in April 2028. The ClassNK will conduct safety assessments at each stage of the engine's development and the vessel's design, construction, and operation.",
