RINA has submitted a document to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in view of MEPC 82, focusing on the evaluation of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).
This document provides an update on the comprehensive project led by the Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. The project incorporates detailed operational data from various ship categories and voyages, provided by project partners, to enable a thorough analysis.
The goal of the CII assessment is to identify elements that contribute positively to ship performance and highlight areas that may require revision, considering both underway and non-underway operational modes and the different fuel consumers on board.
For container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers, the study highlights two key methods to improve the CII metric. First is the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI), which focuses on rewarding capacity utilization and driving efficiency. The second is the introduction of a sea passage propulsion-only metric, which emphasizes better voyage performance, encouraging ships to reduce emissions during the propulsion phase.
