Operational Carbon Intensity Indicators (CII)

Regulations


Refer to the MEPC 76, some amendments on MARPOL annex VI and technical guidelines in relation to the operational carbon intensity indicator (CII) annual rating scheme adopted.

Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) Technical File

Regulations


The goal of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent until 2030 and subsequently by another 50 percent until 2050. To achieve these targets, the "Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index" (EEXI) will come into force in June 2021 and will apply to all vessels over 400 GT under MARPOL Annex VI from 2023 onwards.

Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) PART I

Regulations


Regulation 26.1 of MARPOL Annex VI requires each ship of 400 gross tonnages and above, subject to Chapter 4 to keep on board a ship specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). The purpose of Part I of SEEMP is to establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon intensity of a ship's operation. Preferably, this aspect of the ship-specific SEEMP is linked to a broader corporate energy management policy for the company that owns, operates or controls the ship, recognizing that no two shipping companies are the same, and that ships operate under a wide range of different conditions.

PART II OF THE SEEMP - SHIP FUEL OIL CONSUMPTION DATA COLLECTION PLAN

Regulations


Regulation 26.1 of MARPOL Annex VI requires each ship of 400 gross tonnages and above, subject to Chapter 4 to keep on board a ship specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). The purpose of Part I of SEEMP is to establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon intensity of a ship's operation. Preferably, this aspect of the ship-specific SEEMP is linked to a broader corporate energy management policy for the company that owns, operates or controls the ship, recognizing that no two shipping companies are the same, and that ships operate under a wide range of different conditions.

PART III OF THE SEEMP - SHIP OPERATIONAL CARBON INTENSITY PLAN

Regulations


The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is a rating system for ships that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed. This will be a mandatory measure under MARPOL Annex VI, which comes into force in 2023.

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage

Machinery


The share of the transportation sector in the emission of greenhouse gases in the world is 25%, of which 2.9% is the emission of pollution related to the marine industry. The change in global laws in order to reduce the environmental impact has forced the shareholders of the marine industry to implement measures in the direction of decarburization.

ABS releases Requirements for Onboard Carbon Capture

Regulations


ABS has launched a set of requirements to help guide the industry in the adoption of carbon capture at sea.

Shaft / engine power limitation system to comply With the EEXI requirements and use of a power reserve

Machinery


The purpose of these article is to provide technical and operational conditions that the SHaPoLi / EPL system should satisfy in complying with the EEXI requirements and in using a power reserve for existing ships.

Emission regulations and the future of ships

Management


With the entry into force of IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator, future of a third of the world’s ships hangs in the air

The wind propulsion technology

Machinery


A key strategy to lessen the industry's carbon footprint and aid in the fight against climate change is wind propulsion. Numerous technological developments present excellent opportunities. These approaches, including ours, enable the creation of effective and affordable wind propulsion systems that can be applied to a wide range of ships.
