HEMEXPO today announced it has reached an agreement with DNV for the assessment of energy-saving devices (ESDs).
According to HEMEXPO, under the terms of the agreement, in the first instance, DNV will review a makers list provided by HEMEXPO to identify ESDs that fall in the category of energy saving devices, according to DNV expertise.
Our agreement with DNV is a significant breakthrough as it aligns closely with the need for an international standard on ESDs

In the second step, DNV will assess which regulatory metrics – i.e., the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) – the relevant ESDs affect.
Finally, the classification society will issue a letter of professional opinion for the HEMEXPO products that fall into the ESD category. This will confirm that the product is assessed as an ESD, as per step 1, and describe the regulatory metrics it influences, as per step 2.
ESDs can be instrumental in helping to reduce fuel use, cut greenhouse gas emissions and fully contribute towards compliance.
