EU MRV and the IMO DCS. The shipping industry is responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and this share is expected to increase in the future. To address this challenge, the European Union (EU) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have introduced two different but complementary regulations to monitor, report and […]
Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator: A Tool for Improving Ship Performance. The shipping industry is responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), maritime transport accounts for about 2.5% of global CO2 emissions and 3.1% of global energy demand. Reducing the environmental impact of […]
How to Prepare for the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) Regulation The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is a new regulation that will affect the shipping industry from 2023 onwards. The CII is a rating system for ships that measures their carbon efficiency and assigns them a score from A to E, where A is the best […]
A Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a document that outlines how a ship can improve its energy efficiency and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. A SEEMP is mandatory for all ships of 400 gross tonnage and above that are engaged in international voyages, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations. In this […]
Energy Efficiency Design Index stands for, which is a technical measure that aims at promoting the use of more energy efficient (less polluting) equipment and engines in new ships. The EEDI is measured in grams of carbon dioxide per ship’s capacity-mile. The smaller the EEDI, the more energy efficient ship design. Energy Efficiency Design Index […]
If you own or operate a ship with a marine diesel engine that has a power output of more than 130 kW, you may need to obtain an Engine International Air Pollution Prevention (EIAPP) Certificate. This certificate is a requirement of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), Annex VI, which […]
