Making its mark in the carbon footprint reduction league is Japanese shipping line NYK which walked off with two awards for its environment-friendly ships at the 2009 Good Design Awards organised by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organisation. One of its designs, the Auriga Leader, is the first ship to use solar power for propulsion while NYK Super Eco Ship 2030 (pictured) is a concept ship that aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 69%.
