In 2018, all NYK-operated vessels that were called at Long Beach for the program scored an extraordinary compliance rating of 100 percent. Also NYK was praised for its contribution to the exhaust gas cut. NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd., an NYK Group company, was also recognized for its participation in the Green Flag program in 2018.
