What is the EEDI?

As the marine sector faces increasing pressure to innovate, significant changes essential in the design of new ships and the operation of existing vessels to lessen their environmental footprint. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is leading this charge with its MARPOL regulations, mandating a 30% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and aiming for NetZero by 2050. Key initiatives, such as the Energy Efficiency Design (EEDI) for new builds and the adapted EEXI and CII, are pivotal in guiding the industry a greener future. Join us as we explore these essential transformations and their impact on the marine environment.

The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) is a crucial initiative defined by the International Maritime (IMO) that focuses on enhancing the environmental performance of ships. It establishes a minimum energy efficiency level based on capacity mile (such as tonne mile) for various types and sizes, encouraging the adoption of less polluting equipment and engines. Since January 1, 2013, new ship designs have been required to comply with these standards, which will become progressively stricter every five years. This non-prescriptive,-based approach allows ship designers and builders to select the most cost-effective technologies, fostering innovation and advancing the overall fuel efficiency of marine vessels from the design phase onward.

What is the EEXI?

The Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is a regulatory framework designed to evaluate the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of vessels exceeding 400 gross tonnage (GT). Ship owners begin by assessing their vessels' CO2 emissions from a baseline position, allowing them to monitor reductions they implement various operational and technical measures. The EEXI aims to ensure ships contribute to global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a more sustainable maritime industry.

What is the CCI?

Cruise Ship

The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is a regulation that mandates in-service ships over 5,000 Gross Tonnage (GT) to measure and their actual carbon emissions during operations. Operators are assigned an annual carbon emissions reduction they must meet to ensure compliance, and their performance is evaluated on a five-tiered rating scale, ranging from A to E. Both the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and the CII were adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under MARPOL Annex VI in June 2021, enforcement starting on November 1,2022. The requirements for EEXI and CII certification into effect on January 1, 2023, leading to the first annual emissions reporting in 2023 and initial performance ratings in 2024.

Supporting clients with EEXI and CII

​

At our company, we specialize in helping clients meet EEXI and CII requirements through a comprehensive support process. We collaborate with ship managers and owners to perform pre-assessments, develop performance measurement systems, and calculate both EEXI and CII values. Our team identifies necessary technical and operational improvements, implementing energy-saving technologies onboard to minimize carbon emissions for each vessel. To kick off the improvement, we install the KHRONE Marine EcoMATE system, which offers compliance with EU regulations, automatic emission calculations, high accuracy flowmeters, and efficient cloud reporting for fuel consumption monitoring.
