A total of 53 ships of the NSC Group received certification
The NSC Group has commissioned the voluntary “Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)” certification of its entire fleet from Germanischer Lloyd (GL).
GL verifies the globally valid EEDI environmental and efficiency standard for vessels and is planning the certification of the NSC fleet according to the “EEDI Statement of Compliance (SoC)”.
A total of 53 ships of the NSC Group – including 31 container ships, four tankers, four bulkers and 14 multi-purpose vessels – are to receive an EEDI SoC from GL within the next few months.
As a result of continuing overcapacity, rising fuel prices and new environmental regulations, shipping companies not only have to maintain the competitiveness of their existing fleets.
They also need to significantly improve their efficiency, in order to be able to hold their own against optimised, newly constructed vessels.
Innovative ship design is a key factor for shipping companies when it comes to upgrading their fleet. But they also need proof of the efficiency of these new ship designs from an independent authority.
The implementation of the EEDI performance indicator and the voluntary certification of the entire fleet by GL enables the NSC Group to highlight the ultra-modern design of its fleet.
