The Pride of Key's Bunkering West Japan KEYS AZALEA

Check out just how badass and this ship is!

(According to the Key's Bunkering West Japan homepage:)

Keys Azalea is Japan's first LNG bunkering ship for operation in the Kyushu and Setouchi regions and will provide coastal transport of LNG to consumers and also LNG bunkering for vessels calling at ports in these regions. As Japan's first LNG bunkering ship to feature dual fuel engines capable of using both LNG and heavy oil for its main power generation equipment, this vessel offers excellent environmental performance by primarily using LNG, which reduces SOx, NOx, and CO2 emissions during operation.
