If you’re in the maritime industry you probably haven’t missed the IMO GHG Strategy. Here’s a short guide on how to be Compliant with IMO GHG Strategy for Shipowners.
(Regulation of GHG Emissions from Ships: The outcomes of MEPC 75)
- The Aim is to reduce carbon intensity of international shipping by 40% by 2030 vs. 2008.
- EEDI requirements have been strengthened and steps in the required limits have been moved earlier, for some of the vessel types
- The NEW EEXI (Existing Vessels Energy Efficiency Index) implemented for existing ships as technical measure to reduce CO2emissions (EEXI calculation guidance will be ready at MEPC 76 – Q2 2021)
- Carbon Intensity Indicator (CCI), introduced as part of SEEMP, as an operational measure of carbon intensity.
– Initially as non-mandatory option. But will most probably be mandatory by starting 2027
– Will contain a historical parameter, affecting the requirement based on previous progress of CII-rating - Cargo and cruise ships above 5000 GT – starting 2023 (initially non-mandatory compliance): Annual Carbon Intensity Indicator and rating A to E. Each ship needs to achieve rating C or better in CII. See enclosed picture
Compliance options
- Engine Power Limitation and/or Shaft Power Limitation (Cheapest solution)
- Energy efficiency technology and alternative energy sources
- New Building
