Sulnox enters Japanese market with Exeno Yamamizu

Sulnox, the greentech company delivering lower fuel costs and emissions with zero capex, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Exeno Yamamizu Corporation (“Exeno Yamamizu”) as its first Japan-based distributor.

Established in 1947, Exeno Yamamizu is a longstanding Japanese maritime services company whose major shareholders include shipping giants NYK Line and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines. Its activities span marine fuel and lubricants, specialist chemicals, shipbroking and marine engineering. Exeno Yamamizu already supplies marine fuel treatment products and has established relationships across Japanese shipowners, operators and shipyards, providing Sulnox with an experienced partner to develop its presence in one of the world’s most important shipping markets.

According to BIMCO, the international shipping association, Japan is the world’s third-largest shipowning nation, with approximately 604 shipowners controlling around 12% of global fleet capacity by deadweight tonnage. With major Japanese shipowners targeting net-zero emissions by 2050, the industry faces growing pressure to reduce fuel consumption and emissions from existing fleets while alternative fuels and technologies continue to develop.

Sulnox Eco™ helps address these challenges by improving combustion efficiency without requiring engine modifications or capital investment. The 100% organic fuel conditioner has demonstrated average fuel savings of approximately 5% in marine applications and 8% in land-based applications, alongside reductions in CO₂ and other harmful emissions, including particulate matter reductions of c.90% in independent testing. It also enhances engine condition through improved lubricity, reduced carbon deposits and injector plugging, while independent testing has demonstrated improved biofuel stability and reduced corrosion risk – all achieved by simply adding it to the existing fuel.
